Round-up 22/1

Another quiet week. G550 N588GA (5588) appears to have made it's first flight from Savannah on the 14th using the callsign GLF74. G280 N267GA (2167) ferried Tel Aviv to Stansted on the 15th. G650 N1895T returned from Savannah to Long Beach on the 18th following a test flight. Whispers about the next generation of G280 are surfacing. See AINonline
G5 N514GV that I reported as cancelling to the Isle of Man is becoming a bit of a mystery. It has not appeared on their register and I've dropped them a line but to date have not heard back. I'm wondering if some tired unpaid FAA clerk has entered the wrong country. Have previously seen a G450 as cancelled to Australia that actually went to Austria. This suggests to me that it's a drop down list and the IoM may be an error for either Ireland or Israel. The latest Irish update as at 31st December shows nothing so it might have gone to Israel. Any better ideas most welcome.
With the World Economic Forum (WEF) starting today, am expecting a lot of Gulfstreams to be heading that way. Unfortunately, I'm not this year but wish those who go well.

Thanks a lot for your great update again!
I’m at WEF now and saw G650 N899LM at Dubendorf. Do you maybe now the c/n? Cannot find it in your list or on the
internet. Thanks!

Hello Ron. Thanks for your kind words.
Suspect your G650 is N889LM. The cold is getting to you perhaps.

Ron said...

That will be the one! Cold it is :-) Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Keep up the good work. I am based at PDX so thought you'd like to know long term resident N30HE is still firmly on the ground here. However it has once again taken up a different position on the tarmac. It now sits outside Flightcraft. I wonder just how long it can remain here as it hasn't flown for several years. It is in good condition externally and the tyres are still good.
