In the past few months I've been having the same conversation over and over — so I decided to address the recurring questions and have a short action page for 2026.
Since last year, when I strongly urged people not to miss good opportunities on Embraer Legacy 600 and Legacy 650 aircraft, Global 6000, Global 6500, Gulfstream G650ER, and Global 7500 (not even mentioning new G700 and G800, that even then would be gone in a week at most!), saying that by the end of the year there would be no good offers and prices are bound to go up, this not only did happen but went far beyond my warnings. It seems that just yesterday one could easily spend 6–9 months looking at an aircraft and offering next to nothing for it, and it would stay right there. Suddenly there was nothing.
Ha. Ha. Ha. What was absolutely the norm in 2025 now sounds like a stale joke. If a good plane hits the market (even a Global 5000 or Challenger 650, which nobody seemed to want before) they are gone so quickly that Buyer-2025 mentality isn't going to buy you anything.
