Falcon 7Xs - Who Will Be Getting Them First?

[sydeseet]

I'm in Geneva, Swit. as we speak for MX on our plane, and the facility has a new 7X sitting here now, came in with a fresh lightning strike. Winglets removed and all. Ouch.

Nice looking plane though.

Can you snap some pix?

I don't think they are getting A/Bushes plane they ordered it a long time ago but I could be wrong.

Pretty soon it will be an all Falcon fleet as the CEO wants aircraft with 3 engines not 2.

Engine envy. Make sure he doesn't see an old Jetstar out on the ramp!

AIN Mag 7X Pilot Report

I just saw a great 7X pilot report in the latest AIN magazine. Check it out! Good description of the FBW - I am sure Airbus drivers could appreciate it.

Wouldn't surprise me because I think the Ebay founder is either French or French-Canadian. They like their sexy French airplanes...

I just read that AIN article too and wow - it looks like a fun ride. I gather that the G350 and Global 5000 aircraft are considered "direct" competitors to the 7X. The fact that the 7X has a third engine (for the safety conscious) and a wider cabin would seem to make it a clear winner from an owner perspective. I would presume that current Falcon 900EX/2000EAsy owners would be likely step-up 7X customers.
