Falcon 7Xs - Who Will Be Getting Them First?

[On Your Six]

I am diggin' this airplane. I have been asking the boss to upgrade our old Global and I still have work to do.

It will be nice to see these on the ramp soon. Anyone know who will be getting them in the near term? Any expected soon in the NYC area?

I like what I see:

We'll probably see some Netjets Europe 7Xs when those arrive on the line in a few years flying from the other side of the pond. Curious that NJE decided to buy these in addition to GIVSPs and GVs (I know they only have a few Gulfstreams).

Interested to know which US operators will be the first recipients and whether I will be seeing any in the NY area soon - I really like the look of that design. Those French certainly know how to design sexy airplanes...

I've heard that AT&T is on the list as is Citigroup. Don't know what SN's or when they are delivered.

As far as NY, I am pretty sure Citigroup has some on order.

One of the most modern a/c and the guys got a kneeboard (second pic). Great looking jet, our big man has developed a interest in them.

Wrong. They are selling theirs.

Wow - nice pics. Not surprising that the French would want side-sticks on their latest airplanes. I am sure you'll see plenty in the NYC area soon enough.

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.

Also Emerson in SUS is getting one.

 

[G100driver]

Are they getting A/Bushes airplane?

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.

 

[PMVULB AvMgr]

Citi has 3 on order.

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.

The EBAy owners have 2 on order for LAS

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.
