View from the office window

When you work at Fort Lauderdale and your office overlooks the ramp, it must be difficult to get much work done. Guess that's just me as Alex Peake manages to do both.

Round-up 19/2

G650 N652GD (6352) flew from Long Beach to Savannah on the 12th. It was cancelled to the Czech Republic (as was expected) to OK-VEA and then delivered overnight 18th/19th from Savannah to Prague as ABP941. G450 M-AAMM took up OE-ITC.  G550 M-UGIC (5406) took up EI-EGO and was delivered from Stansted to Shannon on the 14th. Looks like G550 N590GA (5590) did a first flight from Savannah on the 14th. G650 N1895T positioned to Bradley on the 18th which is usually the last stop before delivery.
Info suggests that G500 N521GD is for Qatar. Their 3rd I assume. Did a nearly 9 hour test flight on the 16th.
On a personal note, I would usually be found in Florida at this time of year but unfortunately am not quite up to it. I'll therefore take us back to 2009 and one particular highlight.

Random Gulfstream photo #32

Not long after the last random pic but think this is a bit of a scoop. Believe this is the first published pic of G500 N5117 (72020). It was caught by my Fort Lauderdale correspondent Alex Peake of it departing 10R from the wonderful park off Griffin Road (one of my favourite spots).
