Gulfstream Providing Flight Attendant Emergency Training With Purchase Of New And Pre-Owned Gulfstream Aircraft
Flight Safety International Training Course Held in Savannah, Ga.

Savannah, GA, June 7, 2000 -- Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), is providing an initial Flight Attendant Emergency Procedures Training course with the purchase of new and pre-owned Gulfstream aircraft. In conjunction with training provider Flight Safety International, the company is adding to its extensive array of safety training programs. These safety training programs help ensure that the Gulfstream aircraft fleet is crewed with the most professionally trained and safety-conscious crews possible.

"Gulfstream is dedicated to providing the highest level of safety training for our customers," said Bill Boisture, "Gulfstream president and chief operating officer. "While not required by current regulations, this flight attendant emergency training program is another example of the priority Gulfstream places on safety and safety awareness training for crew members."

Gulfstream leads the industry in offering unique and innovative crew safety training programs for customers who purchase an aircraft. In 1998, Gulfstream began offering an altitude physiology training program, AvAlert Alertness Training and human performance consulting programs.

The new flight attendant emergency training program consists of a practical course with emergency and safety equipment, classroom instruction and realistic emergency simulator sessions. The simulators include a Corporate Cabin Trainer and Water Egress Trainer.

The Corporate Cabin Trainer features a computerized, fully-outfitted Gulfstream fuselage section that is used to simulate a range of emergencies, including rapid egress and fire and smoke environments. The emergency simulation is enhanced by the use of a noise-generation system and an 8-degree motion base.

The all-new Water Egress Trainer simulates a sinking aircraft fuselage. As the fuselage sinks in a safe, indoor pool environment, students must demonstrate the proper techniques for exiting an aircraft. The simulator rolls as if pushed by ocean waves and sound, smoke, darkness and emergency lighting make the environment as realistic as possible. Upon exiting the fuselage, students must inflate their life vests and climb aboard a life raft. The experience also includes a simulated helicopter rescue, complete with an overhead rescue basket and high-pressure water system to accurately simulate the helicopter's rotor downwash.

"With this extensive flight attendant training program, Gulfstream is adding another important element of crew safety training for our operators," said Boisture.
