Ah well, that 'splanes it then - they're singing about a G6 that doesn't technically exist, its a G650
I have an issue with this paragraph:
"The G650 itself is fitting as an epitome of "fly." The plane is the fastest civil airplane in the world. According to Miller it has the longest range of any business jet (7,000 nautical miles) and will be certified next year by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly at 0.925 Mach in cruise flight, or 704 miles per hour. It edges out the Cessna Citation X, which was previously ranked the fastest in the world. Any speed faster than Mach 1, such as that reached by the retired Concorde planes, creates a problematic sonic boom."
Surely Concorde is still a 'civil aeroplane' (or 'airplane' than) that's 'in the world' whether its retired or not?
