Even Busier Day At Palomar

 Yesterday was the last day of the Farmer's Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, so McClellan-Palomar was absolutely buzzing with private and corporate jets.

The Bombardier Global 6000. One of the highest-performance long range jets on the market, and one of the largest aircraft that flies regularly into Palomar.

Always the star of the show, a gorgeous Dassault Falcon 90EX trijet.

L'originale- the Gulfstream. This is a Gulfstream V, a massive beauty that cuts an imposing figure on tall landing gear struts with two Rolls Royce BR710 turbofans that push this beast of a jet to Mach .88 at an absolute service ceiling of 51,000 feet.

With a range of 7,500 miles or 14 hours of endurance she could be going just about anywhere on Earth.

Normally, aircraft departing Palomar airport take off from runway 24, towards the west, but on windy Santa Ana days they take off from runway 6 towards the east making for a great photo opportunity.
