N166QS is a 2013 Bombardier Global 6000. It works in NetJets Aviation's floating charter fleet: on the Part 135 certificate (DXTA), and positioned wherever the next trip starts rather than kept at one airport. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 454 legs on 207 days, about 252,964 nautical miles. That is 132% more than the median Bombardier Global 6000 in U.S. charter service (106 airframes tracked), which puts it among the harder-working examples of the type. It touched 128 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 63% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
