Falcon 7Xs - Who's Gettin' Em in Near Term?

[Heavy Set]

I know that the Falcon 7X will be popular among a lot of the major US corporations out there and we will probably see quite a few at the regular haunts like TEB, HPN, MDW, VNY, SJC, FXE, ASE, PDK, DAL, etc. I have yet to see one even though I read about one owned by a foreign corporation but based at VNY a few months per year - I fly into VNY quite a bit but I have never seen it.

So, do we know of any upcoming 7X deliveries - who's getting them in the next 6 months? Where will be able to view these birds?

I thought someone on these boards mentioned Citigroup out of HPN and maybe Home Depot.

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw some oil/gas companies also order a few like Exxon/Mobil, Valero Energy, Marathon Oil, Conoco Phillips and others. Those companies have money to burn.........

I thought I heard that AT&T (formerly SBC) out of San Antonio might also be getting Falcon 7Xs soon. Could be bad intel. Wouldn't surprise me though - they have a worldwide operation and they could use aircraft like the 7X.

Anyone hear about other upcoming 7X operators?

AT&T is getting one this november. Another one late next year. Valero (also in SAT) just took delivery of a new G5, with another to follow soon I believe. Anheuser Busch had one recently but sold the delivery. Other than that the biggest customer will be Netjets, with 24 7Xs on order.

 

[epic!]

Lowes is getting a few

 

[kilroy]

Emerson Electric is getting one also.

 

[G100driver]

Harrah's is getting one

 

[psysicx]

Does Harrah operate any aircraft out of Reno? Or does John Harrah have his own?

 

[G100driver]

Not that I am aware of. It is my understanding that their aircraft are based in Vegas and Atlantic City.

 

[psysicx]

Gotcha, since he sold out he probably has his own.

 

[G100driver]

But the real question is ... how's the pay and the QOL? Sorry I could not resist.

I heard a little flight department in UDD was getting one.

Anheuser Busch had one recently but sold the delivery.

They sold the aircraft to Carlos Slim Helu, the third richest man in the world, for a $17 million profit - I repeat "$17 million profit". Seems he didn't want to wait for the aircraft, and with money not exactly tight, got what and when he wanted it.

Citigroup has 2 on order.
