Andrew Forrest has been awaiting delivery of a new Bombardier Global Express 7500, the Canadian jet makerâs new, long-range varietal (list price: $98 million).
Well, itâs finally arrived. While Stokesâ new runabout turned up during Chinese New Year, Twiggyâs swooped in on Good Friday. âTis the season for Messiah complexesâ¦
And Fortescueâs new aircraft (VH-FMG is the registration) wasted no time drawing on its enviable reach capability to fly directly to Perth from Honolulu â 10,900 kilometres non-stop.
This upgrade is not before time. The iron ore billionaire has until now been puttering around the world in a Global 5000 that entered service in the 1990s. The guy is worth $23 billion. His last dividend cheque was $1.6 billion. For the half-year!
However, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for their extradition in February and earlier this week they were flown to Japan.
“This is a sad day for the family, and for all who believe that veterans deserve better treatment from their own country,” the Taylors’ lawyer Paul Kelly said in a statement.
Japanese prosecutors claim that Peter Taylor flew to Japan and met with Ghosn at the Grand Hyatt Hotel for approximately one hour on December 28, 2019. The following day, Michael Taylor flew into Osaka on a chartered Bombardier Global Express jet.
The Taylors, accomplice George-Antonie Zayek, and Ghosn then met at a hotel on December 29 and boarded a bullet train to Osaka. Peter Taylor then left the country and flew to China while the others headed to a hotel in the city where Ghosn was loaded into a box used for transporting audio equipment. The following day, the trio flew to Turkey before boarding to a second private jet and flying to Beirut, Lebanon.

The Royal Air Force’s Raytheon Sentinel surveillance fleet completed its final operation on February 25, 2021. The last aircraft flew a mission from its base at RAF Waddington in southern England, monitoring Russia’s Kaliningrad enclave, and Belarus, from Polish and Lithuanian airspace. The RAF Sentinels have been frequent visitors to the Baltic airspace, often provoking a reaction from Russian Su-27 Flanker interceptors based in Kaliningrad.
The Sentinel R.Mk 1 is a radar reconnaissance version of the Bombardier Global Express business aircraft, and was tasked with providing long-range, wide-area battlefield surveillance, and with delivering critical intelligence and target-tracking. The platform was the end result of a long-running program by the UK to deploy what was originally known as a Corps Air
