Any Known Upcoming G650 Operators? Where do I send my app????

[Heavy Set]

Just reading about the G650 while sitting bored in an FBO... Wow - what an incredible airplane!!!!! Initially I wasn't too impressed with the looks but now the aesthetics are growing on me... It looks pretty cool.

So, the magic questions: anyone know who's ordering the G650? Who do we know who is confirmed to get one or more? Any public information or intelligent/informed guesses? I am betting you will see a bunch in the NYC tri-state area, Dallas and in SoCal/NorCal.

I'm already jealous...

I'll be just like the V, one day you only see 'em in magazines then the next they are stacked up like chord wood all over the place.

Probably 10-20 G650s going to China......... I am sure the Saudis will order a bunch too.

Shame that we won't see any at Netjets after their long-term use of GVs and G550s. I would have loved to have seen a G650 in Netjets colors. Sounds like Bombardier was more willing to cut a big deal with Sokol and the bean counters............ :angryfire:crying:

yeah, I'm ready to kick this 550 to the curb

One has proudly advertised himself already:

In the US you'll have a famous fashion designer who already owns a 550, a leading financial services firm which operates 450/550s already...

Watch this place in the coming months:

Any news about the NTSB investigation?
What about composite materials fire resistance? (the G650 cabin floor structure uses composites).

Should be the first of a couple in KFTW in about a year.

I wonder if a Chicago based talkshow host might be getting one.

Survey says - probably. The hypothetical host has not been happy with Globals.
