jet.

range."

as

speed-

stopping

certainly
| not enough to plan a trip.
|
| I've never thought much about international flight so I am very
| curious to see the suggestions for a flight like this.
|
|
| not sure what you're asking here.
|
| What kind of bizjet can do it?
| Most could do it with a stop or tow and some could do it direct...

You're not sure of a lot of things.





That's right.

What I am sure of I am very sure of.

You being a fjukktard, for instance.
