New Falcon 7X Available Today - Tell Your Boss...

[2EASYPilot]

Busch sold their 7X for a tidy sum! We are still waiting for our first, since summer. No matter I won't see it for a long time unless a weird disease hits ATP'S older than 50!:laugh:

I believe it sold for 56.4m. Looked at it in LIT, the interior was not my cup of tea.

Why'd AB get rid of their 7X? Changing fleet types? TC

They made like $10-12M on the sale of the slot. 2 guys were going through initial as it was sold.

They sold it to Carlos Slim Helu who is one of the richest men in the world. He wanted the airplane and he wanted it NOW.

He was crowned as the world's richest man at $68 billion in 2007.

I'm not sure if they bought another 7X slot or not.

So this is the one thats been sitting at LIT for a few months now?

The ad says available to fly home now. But when is the next training slot available?

Anheuser Bush 7X s/n 006 sale : I understand that the father wanted to keep the aircraft after retirement, but the son preferred to sell it.

Did anyone hear about the 7X s/n 011 that ended in the grass recently?

I met the pilots of this 7x today in Moscow! They said it has changed hands 3 times and it only has 83 hours on it.

WF, you are on quite the death march! You coming back to the states anytime soon?

Death March? I love flying in crappy wx, with Meters for FL, QFE for altimiter settings and 2 hour wait for passport control after each flight. Plus the F/A's are hot! Russia is were its at.

Now how much is a 7X type?

 

[G100driver]

I was just flipping you some crap because it appears that you were gone a long time .. unless you are based there now.

Yes, the Russian F/A are lovely ... except they really do not have the time of day for poor American pilot!:beer:

Wow!

 

[Way2Broke]

Oh...and I told my boss.. He laughed openly at me. Nothing new there.

 

[murfdawg998]

60 mil for that thing?! Buy a nice Global or a G-string for 20-25 mil less.

 

[Whale Rider]

Tell your Boss to order a Gulfstream G650 instead! Hehehe! :beer:

LegacyDriver, what is that EMB symbol doing on your body armour? What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke? Now answer my question or you will be standing tall before the man! Whose side are you on son? Don't you love your company? How about getting with the program! Why don't you jump on the team and come in for the big win. It's a hardball world son, we must keep our heads until this Legacy craze blows over!

Looking forward to the second 7x next year!

Cheers- Rum
