    Cessna's Answer

    ...to the Gulfstream flight track.

    Gulfstream version.

    Cessna version.

    I'd say Cessna wins.

    Ah, this is awesome. We had some interesting flight paths on our test CL604 but nothing that clever.
    Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.

    Greenpeace will not be happy about this.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    That is hilarious. I'd love to hear some of the ATC recordings of this flight.

    Of course. Just a little friendly competition between Cessna and Gulfstream at the Flight Levels. A bit of a waste of Jet-A, but a cool marketing tool they may use in the future I would suspect.

    I should have added earlier that these are often performance test flights so the 4 hours and 15 minutes of flight time is far from pointless in most cases.
