Several months ago Falcon 7X C-GRGM was spotted at Little Rock - at the
AMD Falcon Jet completion center.

It isn't officially registered as yet, and hasn't been seen outside of Little Rock.
Anybody know who's Falcon 7X it is and where it is to be based???

No doubt a nice plane to fly and/or to fly aboard but all 3-hole Dassaults look like Yak-42s that have gone on a diet. Not nice, sleek, and symmetrical like G5s or Globals. I assume the fuel burn on the 7X is a little less than a Yak, though :wink: .

It's mine. I'm going to base it in Brampton. Use it to practice circuits. Maybe do a long cross-country to far-away destinations like Peterborough and Windsor for lunch once in awhile. The registration is a vanity one made up of my initials and GM for giant mustache (which will make sense when you see the custom paint job I'm getting done). That way I can pick up chicks at the bar by asking them if they want a mustache ride and show them a picture of the plane. Can't wait!! :mrgreen:

Simply hideous. Now, which screen is the best to play PS3 on, and is it linked to the joystick on the left? :mrgreen:

Edit: Just spotted it on the scope abeam Edmonton at 0018z.

Wow, looks just like a new Twin Otter - same Honeywell avionics and screen layout. Those Falcon guys even copied the crew air vents... :smt003

I'm very glad to hear that, because I'm going to be taking it down to Deer Valley in the not too distant future to let everyone get their hands on it (for the upcoming second certification of the Apex suite).

Not a huge surprise to see a Chinese corporate bird making a stop in SK.
They have shown interest in a Potash Corp takeover since the recent failed accusation by BHP Billiton.

Wow does that cockpit ever scream boring!

The only thing missing is a digitally displayed and touch sensitive gear handle. Pretty soon we'll all be tapping screen like a giant iphone.

I was there the night they stopped. They pretty much just picked up some go juice and water and then cont. on to Paris. Customs wasn't too thrilled though when they got off the a/c before they arrived though.

This one, even with the master switch off, its cockpit looks pretty impressive :smt003

And it could go at Mach 3, FL770

Not bad for something built in 1964 :wink:




I would hate to see the fuel bill at today's $$ though.
