Any pilots or aviation enthusiasts around here? Nano research help needed.

Does anyone know if the Gulfstream III had the range needed to fly from Glasgow Scotland to Glasgow Montana without having to land and refuel? Wikipedia's range value and Great Circle Mapper seem to suggest it could on paper, but it is a bit near the knuckle on it. I don't know how that translates to actual flying though. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd really appreciate it.

"The Gulfstream III has a maximum range (subject to headwinds, high altitude, hot temperatures, or higher capacity) of 4200 miles and a maximum speed of 576 mph."

Your flight is just under 4000, so it looks like you'd have to decide on weather and etc.
This is also interesting: "If you are flying less than 4,000 miles, a fuel stop usually offers bad value for money. Bear in mind that passengers will still pay for the private jet rental while refueling; if you’re on an hourly rate, this can quickly add up.

A more pragmatic way to travel on journeys of less than 4,000 miles would be to use a super-midsize jet or a large cabin jet, allowing you to fly non-stop, saving both time and money."

That's the kind of flight where you'd do it in the right weather and have a refuelling option if things went wrong. Nearly half your flight (and critically, it's the second half) will have access to refuelling because it will be over a populated region of the US or Canada.

There's a lot things that add up when a pilot is deciding how much fuel is needed.

Block Fuel
Block fuel is the total amount of fuel required for the flight and is the sum of the Taxi fuel, the Trip fuel, the Contingency fuel, the Alternate fuel, the Final Reserve fuel, the Additional fuel and any Extra fuel (Ballast fuel…) carried.
