Was browsing another site when I came across this link. Test pilots must have been bored and had a lot of fuel Tongue

That's interesting... It looked like he might have tried an approach at Denver, but that whole flight was at cruise altitude (some of it at FL470 Shocked

)

Outagamie Airport has a gulfstream repair center and they also do interior and exterior refurbishing. I used to drive by their huge hangar everyday on the way to work when I used to live in Appleton. I imagine that they were testing avionics or something like that.
