I met a guy at OSH who manages a fleet of high end corporate jets, we
didnt get into the hourly costs but he did throw out some interesting
numbers:

- annual insurance premium on the G-V was $275,000, with a $700
Million liability limit and $54 million hull value. To go to Germany,
some other special liability coverage was required, at an additional
cost of about $40,000
- even G-V owners long for the latest gadgets - he recently installed
the new infrared HUD, at a cost of $600,000. Said the pilots really
startled the controllers one day because two aircraft in front had
flown the missed approach, and the G-V pilots called the runway in
sight at 10 miles out!
- every day it doesn't fly still costs $10,000

He asked about a Gulfstream not a CitationJet.
