Anyone heard of a price?

That is definitely very nice. Wonder exactly what kinda camera or filter it's using to cut through haze and such.

I liked the low visibility approach. Even with the EVS they had to go around, but compared with naked eye, who knows what would've happened.

Anyone heard of a price?

I bet it costs about as much as my Cherokee Archer, and probably more!

I bet we see a few in the next few years then.

Amazing price!!!! Still, that's a good-sized chunk of the cost of a Cherokee, although even a paint job may cost you $10K, plus, plus.

My local pilot group had a presentation last month on the Gulfstream system. The infrared camera is cooled with liquid nitrogen - that's how they get the great clarity. They are certified to go 100ft below DH on an ILS approach using the EVS system.
