Imported;

N85NX (ex VH-TNX) Imported April 4, aircraft currently at AirFlyte at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield MA. Aircraft is a 2008 Hawker 850XP which had been based in Australia since 2008 - flown to USA in January and sold by Gulfstream Aerospace in Texas so it sounds like a trade in on a Gulfstream 150 or 200. Less than 1700 hours on the aircraft, with 1300 landings.

Registered C-GMGB on April 12 2011 to Image Air Charter Ltd. CYYZ

I heard that this Hawker 850 is going to Image Air Charter in YYZ..... I also heard they are getting a GIV.... What can you tell me about that Biiz?

[bizjets101]

Still working out!!

As Peter Munk has been out in his brand new G550 this week C-GBGC, that leaves his G-IV C-FHPM in need of a new owner - so that would be my guess!!!

Added above - Apr 14 N85FX Hawker 850XP to Image Air YYZ as C-GMGB

N861CE Hawker 800SP (Blended Winglets) imported Apr 14 to ??

Note by adding - Blended Winglet Enhanced 800SP or 800 XP2 will fly 30 minutes longer, 180 nm farther and 18-knots faster compared to a standard series Hawker 800. It will also climb higher and cruise faster, at any given cruise weight, than the original airplane while saving 7% in fuel burn.

How much would that cost; ballpark?

Aviation Partners Blended Winglets are available for immediate retrofit on the Hawker 800 and 800XP.

They started installations in 2004, last price I saw was 2007 - $438.000.00 and approximately 3 weeks to install.

They now have a updated version of the winglet so I'll assume it costs a bit more?? There are about 700 Hawker 800A/B/XP's and they've done more than 100 so far . . .

Hawker 800XPR should be certified shortly - with this upgrade you get the new more powerful Honeywell TFE731-50R engines (and winglets!!).

NetJets has put their fleet of Cessna 560 Citation Ultra's for sale, and it seems someone in Canada just added two of them today to the register.

Don't know owner or Canadian registration, but aircraft are 560-0455 and 560-0486 - both aircraft were in storage in Scottsdale, both were flown last Friday to Duncan Aviation (Lincoln, Nebraska) and should be in Canada shortly.

Maybe this? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=73193

or this viewtopic.php?f=7&t=73229

OBQ, UBQ, and IBQ are John Hopkinson's machines…

[bizjets101]

Hmmm, just confirmed Hopkinson Head Office, and ownership of the Citation's is one and the same!! Thanks.

So does that mean the two Citation Bravo's from NetJets were bought for resale - or on behalf of a customer??

I always check their website updates for Canadian Corporate jets for sale - definitely a top producer in Canada for buying/selling/leasing biz aircraft. (And have been for a long time!!)
