Hmm, a C650 (N163JM) and G650 (N946JB) are quite different beasts. While the Citation is a magic little jet with reasonable range it has nowhere the same legs as the Gulfstream G650, and in the case of N946JB it has had the ER modifications carried out to give it that little bit of extra reach. Certainly a game changer for the discerning traveller not wishing to make "techstops" on the way to their ultimate destination!
