Falcon 900 for FAP ???

Post by ehusmann »

Today (or actually yesterday for most of you, Thursday), Falcon 900 CS-DTP was ferried from Cascais to Lisbon under a FAP call sign and flightnumber and there is no outbound flight. Rumour has it that this one will be going to the FAP, question is if it will be leased and just operated on behalf of the FAP, or that it will really be inducted into military service.

Today the former CS-DTP made its first test flight in full uniform. Paintjob is very similar to the Falcon 50s, only the cheatlines are a little different. Serial seems to be 27404, as reported elsewhere, but unfortunately the only picture I have seen so far was not of good quality enough to fully confirm that.
