Saturday Stuff
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:41 pm
All last week has seen the airport stuffed full of bizjets, as mentioned on the movement thread. So, it was a pleasant surprise to arrive on the 500 yesterday to the sight of 3 Gulfstreams parked on the western stands. Unusually, 3 different models were represented, including the uncommon G280.
Nearest the road was the smart sky blue G450 A6-FLH of Emirates based charter company, Falcon Aviation Services, which had arrived from Dubai World Central at the unearthly hour of 0319.

In centre spot was the immaculate G650ER N93M of the 3M Corporation, which had arrived just before midnight. This was delivered new to the St.Pauls company in 2018.

On the outside was the "baby" of the trio, G280 N283BA, which came off the Tel Aviv production line back in 2015. This was parked in a very difficult position to get a clear shot, however assembled ground equipment left just enough of a gap.

Another G650ER, N968FA, had spent several days down in Romeo, this being 3 years older than the 3M machine, but no less smart.
