Final G450 identified

The final G450 to be built has just had the registration N607D allocated to it. This will be build number 4365, the 365th G350/G450. The FAA register shows allocations up to 4370 but the last 5 on there will not be built. This model followed on from the G4/G400 which had a run of 536 which means the 4th generation of Gulfstreams will just exceed a total of 900 which will be a record that is unlikely to be bettered.

G550 production continues

Another 20 G550s have recently been added to the US register (5561 to 5580). Reports on AIN Online suggest that there is still a 12 month backlog for this model. Not quite sure how many this means but looks like there's still plenty of life left in the G550.
