Next time blank out the tail number.
Not only do they take care of it, they own it.
Gulfstream says they sold it to Fast Air.
Fast Air confirms it:

Fast Air company website.

Fast Air's new Gulfstream G150 will be delivered any day now, aircraft is at Dallas Love Field and has been registered C-GWPK. It was spotted in the photo below at Shannon Ireland on delivery to the completion center back in April 2010.

Fast Air's growing fleet includes Westwind 1124's C-FJOJ and C-GDSR along with 8 King Air 200's, 2 Cheyenne's, and a Navajo Chieftain.
Here she is green coming from the factory for paint.



Nice machine.
2010 / G150
Serial No. 288

You are both correct and incorrect.

FA takes care of EVERYTHING from stowage to maintenance and pilots. She is listed as part of their fleet and, as I mentioned, is available for contract. As such, she is registered with them.

However, it is privately owned. I really dont think you need to know any more than that. Just came in here to try and show you guys something kinda cool that someone may be interested in making use of... So I guess I shouldn't have bothered.

PS: Thats a great shot before she was fitted out. Cheers!

Not per the Canadian Civil Aircraft Registry
We're glad you did. it is a very, very cool piece of equipment, and certainly something worth showing off.
Access to use, and or claiming ownership are slightly different scenarios.

agreed.

Maybe this guys knows the person who OWNS "FA"...therefore its privately owned in that regard?

either way - to the op - thanks for sharing and keep the pics coming!!!

thats some baller ish right there. i'd love to be rich enough to have my own jet one day.

The plane is no longer "private" once the registration of record is "Commercial". It was purchase by Fast Air, for Fast Air to be a charter horse in their fleet. Call them and ask if you wish. At least that's what the documentation says and the voice on the other end of the phone says. I may be wrong. Examine the information for yourself and you decide.

All of this is publicly available information on any registered aircraft. It's pretty hard to say you own an aircraft when you don't. Anyone can google a tail number

The OP did a fantastic job in posting picks of a very sweet aircraft. He failed to edit the tail number (which he's pulled that image now) which was visible to all. Post 18 has all the data. Again, nothing confidential, all publicly available / searchable information.

The biggest conundrum was his lack of brevity.

The funny thing is that anybody that owns an aircraft knows all this information is public record--which is why it makes it even more probable the OP doesn't own it (or maybe owns FA?).

Regardless, sweet plane. I looked at a G200 closely before buying a Hawker 800XP (couldn't come up with enough cash for the G!). Gulfstream makes FANTASTIC products!
 
#27 ·
Hawker is a better buy in the long run compared to the G200. (IMO/YMMV)
Far more efficient machine. G200's are a bit higher on the hourly versus the 800 if I recall. I haven't looked at them side by side in Conklin & Decker, but my money is on the 800 for less burn rate as well other fixed and variable.

Even with other machines in class that outperform for less up front, the sweet spot is indeed in a Gulfstream.
 
#30 ·
That sounds about right--ergonomics and (if I recall), avionics were far superior in the G200.

Maintenance costs ended up being 2x what we projected for the Hawker, which was a little disheartening. We didn't have a maintenance program either so it was all out of pocket.

Edit: We just sold it in December.

I've supplied Lista in two local company hangars. One with Hawkers and the other with G's.

The Hawkers are used to fly company employees versus commercial flights. Their ROI was the fact they were spending $1MM per month on commercial flight and hotel stays. The Hawkers are around $1600 per hour to operate. The planes are paying for themselves.

Oh, and the hangar with the G's next door....it's used to fly the CEO wherever he wants to go. Who cares about ROI when you're a baller.
