Taking Travel To New Heights

Schubach Aviation, an on-demand air charter service company with operations at Palomar Airport and Lindberg Field, recently added a Gulfstream IV private jet to its fleet of 23 luxury aircraft. The Gulfstream IV is propelled by twin Rolls-Royce turbofans that provide high thrust output with lower than normal noise emission. It has a range of 4,350 nautical miles and the roomiest cabin in its class, along with 157 square feet of cargo space. Accommodating up to 14 passengers and three crew members, the Gulfstream IV is generously appointed with two lavatories, a full galley with an oven and microwave, a private lounge, an in-flight phone, two CD players, two DVD players, and air show capabilities. With a cruising speed of 530 miles an hour at an average altitude of 45,000 feet, the Gulfstream IV model aircraft has set numerous records for speed and distance traveled around the world.
