fokkerjet said:I've never heard of any "corporate" operator operating under 125.....can't say I understand the reg much since our old fleet of turboprops are operated under 125 as freighters by their new owner; why not 121?
I'm sure (correct me GV if I'm wrong here) the reason for the high ZFW limits on Gulfstreams are in part to allow for more uses for the airframe. As corporate birds, you can basically outfit the interior to any configuration you want and still carry lots of payload. Outside of corporate use, you see Gulfstream's in lots of other rolls where the high ZFW is an asset. We used to operate a GIII with a cargo door installed (GIII demonstrator) that would allow the airplane to be utilizied as a combi, freighter or special ops airplane. I think it was posted earlier about the Embraer and GEX begining unable to meet their special missions roll because of the weight of the equipment being installed, then Gulfstream finally getting the nod for the job.
Spooky 1 said:The B757 in BUR bleongs to the Ukipyia Corp. Never sure of the spelling so forgive me on the name. It is a B757-200-2J5. The Venetian recently bought the B767-300. It came out of the Middle East somewhere. As for security I know nothing about Bill Gates policies or procedures, BUT, please remember not all security is plainly visible to the casual observer. I do not believe you could put any Lear, Falcon or Gulfstream on a Part 125 cert. Absolutely not possible and there would be no business reason for it as well.
smellthejeta said:Just out of curiosity, what company in that list operates the 757 at BUR? Out of further curiosity, are the companies that fly transports on behalf of the US Government (but not registered/operated by the USAF such as the 89th) in that list as well? I would have pegged the guy as flying for mideast jet, but discussing the LJ60, FA50, and GV make me wonder as I *think* mideast jet only holds a Part 125 cert. The other question is is it accurate to assume all four of the those aircraft are on the same certificate?
GVFlyer said:David Thomas and Mohamed al Hanno at Mideast Jet operate a fleet of Bombardier products in addition to their Boeings. They probably got a special package deal that included Ski-Doo snowmobiles, SeaDoo watercraft and a light rail system.
I've known Mohammed since he was a co-pilot for Saudi Medevac so I've been on their B767. Of course, it's not a Gulfstream, but it does have a special forward compartment for the principal's Mercedes. I think their B777 was the first application of an electronic flight bag on the triple seven if you like those large aluminum overcast type aircraft. Personally, I think about 91,000 lbs (G550 MGTOW) is about perfect for a personal/business aircraft.
