Thierry Stern

The aircraft departed Ben Emge Airport (2IL7) near St. Louis with a heading of 317°, and the only ALIGNED candidates (Δhdg ≤ 25°) are VHHH (bearing 335°, Δ19°) and WSSS (bearing 339°, Δ22°). VHHH is a recurring destination for Thierry Stern's Asia business, is within the G650's typical range at 6908 nm, and the heading is consistent with a transpacific routing. Past predictions have been mixed, so confidence is moderate; WSSS is the only other aligned option but is farther and less likely.
