Nice pics, MIR...the Gulfy ain't quite their G2...infact that Gulfy in your picture is probably worth more than the 732 and G2 combined! Its Gulfstream 550 N662CP which arrived today from Adelaide.

 

Thanks for the ETD, Surej!! I'm at the airport all day tomorrow, infact i'll be seeing out the BI 763 that MIR pictures amongst other things. So might pop the trusty D70 out for a quick round of photos...this is where that fisheye I keep promising myself would be nice!!

Will see what I can do! Will all be time permitting...although I thought I put up a study of a G550 up on this site a long while ago...but I can't remember...The engines are essentially the same as on the 717, just derated

Its been busy here with Gulfstream mov'ts last 2 days...and I only ever had the opportunity to photograph one...At 0715 this morning we had 2 G550's and 2 G-V's squeezed onto the ramp. 732 N413JG was moved yesterday from bay60 to bay 56 to accomodate more!

 

G550 VP-BNO arrived ex- HKG 0715, left 0900 for- WME (G550 in Mount Keith, thats a kodak moment!)

G550 N662CP arrived Wed 26/3 ex- ADL, left 27/3 for- DRW

G550 N860AA arrived 27/3 ex- SIN, departed 1300 for- SYD

 

G-V VH-CCC arrived 27/3 ex- HBA, departed 1000 for- CGK, thence SIN

G-V HB-IIS arrived 27/3 ex- SYD. Still on bay60

Maroon 5 is performing their concert in Perth

 

or maybe the King of APs (Weststar) is chairing an important meeting down here...'The 'G'-summit'

All have since gone. But now we've got usual G-IV VH-CGF, G-IV/SP came home from Sneeze-ville...and brand new GLEX XRS N888GX has arrived as well (this is believed to be a replacement bird for Falcon 900B VH-ACE)

 

I don't think Maroon 5 was on any of these jets.
