Round-up 1/8

G650 N685GD (6285) ferried Savannah-Long Beach on the 26th as GLF94. G550 N554GD (5554) cancelled to Poland on the 27th and arrived at Bydgoszcz on the 29th carrying serial 0002 (see pic below). G280 N125GA (2125) ferried Tel Aviv-Belfast Aldergrove on the 30th. Continued on to Halifax (CYHZ) the following day heading for Dallas. A 14th G500 "greenie" has just been added to the US register.

Round-up 20/6

G650 N1875A (6248) was delivered from Savannah to Morristown (MMU) via Windsor Locks (BDL) on the 15th. G650 N626GA (6226) flew from Savannah to Los Angeles on the 16th. It then did a 2 hour flight returning to LAX before heading back to SAV. This has N500SA reserved so may be close to final delivery. G550 N547GA (5547) left Appleton for Bermuda on the 18th. See pic below. Was then cancelled to Poland on the 19th. G280 N33M (2122) ferried to the States via Stansted on the 18th/19th. Unusual for a greenie to carry the final registration.

As an aside, it may have been noticed that my Flickr account hasn't been updated in a while. I've now had to set up a new account and can be found under Gulfstream-chaser. Once I get some Gulfy pics on there, I'll put a link under my Welcome message.

Polish G550 in full colours

Some sneaky pics from Savannah have appeared on social media of 1 of the 2 Polish Government G550s on order. This one carries the serial 0002 on the engine.



Poland orders a pair of G550s

The Polish Air Force have recently signed a deal with General Dynamics to provide 2 G550s for the VIP role. It is hoped that the first will be delivered in Q3 2017 and these will replace leased Embraer 175s. See gulfstreamnews.com

Update: 5547 ad 5554 have been identified as the frames in question
