Mexico Gulfstream sales

Mexico's new President announced at the beginning of the year that many government assets would be sold. Within days of the recent biennial FAMEX show, which is held at Santa Lucía air base on the outskirts of Mexico City, the government held an auction, selling 76 aviation assets.
A large portion of this years FAMEX static consisted of many of these aircraft, including six Gulfstreams.

XC-PFT Gulfstream IISP (175)
XC-PFM Gulfstream G350 (4016)
3913 Gulfstream G150 (313)
3914 Gulfstream G150 (314)
3915 Gulfstream G450 (4333)
3916 Gulfstream G550 (5508)

The current status of these jets stored at Santa Lucía after the auction is unknown. However three Gulfstreams have seemingly dodged the auctioneers gavel. The Navy's two Gulfstreams, a G450 ANX-1202 and a G550 ANX-1201, while the Air Force still has a single Gulfstream G550 (3910).
