GULFSTREAM DELIVERS FIRST G200 IN CANADA
Canadian Business Jet Management Company, Partner Jet, To Operate the Large-Cabin, Mid-Range Jet

SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 24, 2005 - Gulfstream Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), delivered its first G200 business jet in Canada last week. Partner Jet, a Toronto-based aviation management company, will manage and maintain the aircraft, as well as arrange charter flights.

"With the G200’s range, passengers can fly nonstop from Halifax to Vancouver, from Toronto to London, England, or anywhere in the continental United States," said Bryan Moss, president, Gulfstream. "Partner Jet customers who fly on the G200 will appreciate its spacious cabin, which is the largest in its class of business jets. The cabin height allows most people to easily walk through the cabin."

Currently, 108 aircraft comprise the G200 in-service fleet, which have flown more than 112,000 flight hours and completed some 70,000 landings.



NOTE TO EDITORS

The G200 offers seating configurations that can accommodate up to 10 passengers. Its outstanding performance characteristics include excellent climb, high-cruising altitude, high-speed, long-range and short-landing capabilities. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW 306A engines, the G200 can reach speeds up to Mach .85, altitudes up to 45,000 feet and a range of 3,400 nautical miles. With low ambient noise levels, 100 percent fresh air and natural light from generous windows, the cabin provides a comfortable workspace for busy travelers.

As with every Gulfstream aircraft, the design of the G200 cockpit incorporates industry-leading technology. In addition to the Engine Indicating and Crew Alert System (EICAS), the flight deck features an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), which provides critical electrical, hydraulic and mechanical systems information at a glance. For efficiency and safety, the G200 also includes the TCAS (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System) and EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System) with windshear warning. Earlier this year, Gulfstream began offering Safe Flight Instrument Corporation’s Enhanced Autopower ® Automatic Throttle System (ATS) as a retrofit on in-service G200s and as optional equipment on new G200s.
