The Falcon 50 registered SX-CRC that is expected to be added to Amjet Executive's fleet is still parked in GVA (Geneva, Switzerland) and as it looks from the picture, which was taken yesterday, it is not ready to fly soon. Thanks to Jean-Luc ALTHERR for the picture!
Amjet Executive, a business jet operator based in Athens, will soon take delivery of another plane to add to their fleet. It is a Dassault Falcon 50 registered SX-CRC (c/n 226) which was previously under the registration CS-DPO (never flew with this reg) and VP-BBD with Blue Herron Aviation. The plane is still in GVA (Geneva, Switzerland) in its new colors since late July 2010. Here is the picture of SX-CRC in GVA, taken on July 27th. Thanks to Jean-Luc ALTHERR.
