May 22, 201511 yr With a 2600NM range (at best), I wonder what real world flyers of the Hawker do to cross the pond? The most common destination is either Heathrow or Gatwick, each of which are just out of range when departing from Boston or JFK. I'm guessing there's a fuel stop along the way somewhere?

May 23, 201511 yr Typically, a business jet such as the Hawker 850 would make a tech (fuel) stop in Gander, St. John's or Goose Bay. Then it is only about 1400 miles to feet dry. Heathrow and Gatwick are not typical for business jets. Farnborough or Stanstead are more likely destinations in London. Westbound from Europe some will make their fuel stop Shannon, Ireland. To the inexperienced, the temperatures aloft over the North Atlantic are warm making it harder to get to the higher altitudes for the crossing. Happy landings, Mike Eppright
