Hier kann man sich seinen persönlichen Global zusammenstellen!

Na dann hat es eben das Beschaffungsamt verpennt, man darf aber auch den dringenden Bedarf an neuen Fliegern nichtr unterschätzen.....

Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda Purchases Global 5000 Jet
First Global 5000 jet to be delivered with Global Vision flight deck
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Nov 18, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Bombardier today announced that Niki Lauda, through NL Holding GmbH, has placed a firm order for a Global 5000 jet. The aircraft, scheduled for delivery at the beginning of 2012, will be the first Global 5000 jet to be delivered with the new Global Vision flight deck.

"I recently had the opportunity to fly the Global 5000 jet and was extremely impressed with the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics," said Niki Lauda, President, FlyNiki. "I am very excited to be the first operator to own a Global 5000 jet with the Global Vision flight deck, and I can't wait to fly it. Until then, I will continue to fly and travel in my Challenger 300 jet, which continues to impress me at every occasion."

Three-time Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda has a long history in aviation and is the majority shareholder of FlyNiki, the second largest airline in Austria(i). The Global 5000 jet is the latest in a series of Bombardier business aircraft that Mr. Lauda has owned and piloted during his career as an aviator. He currently operates a Challenger 300 jet as his private aircraft, which he frequently uses to travel to Formula 1 races around the world from his home base in Austria.

"It has been a great year for the Global aircraft program. Even in a difficult economy, we continue to see strong interest across the Global aircraft platform - the Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Global 7000 and Global 8000 jets," said Bob Horner, Senior Vice President, Sales, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "Niki Lauda is a longtime Bombardier customer and vocal promoter of the Challenger 300 jet he currently operates. We are delighted to welcome him into our Global aircraft family."

The super large Global 5000 jet combines superior transatlantic speed with the largest cabin in its market segment. It features high-speed Internet connectivity, unmatched entertainment options, a heads-up flight display system, and one of the largest field-of-view of any business aircraft. With a range of 5,200 NM (9,630 km), the jet can connect Vienna-New York, or Vienna-Tokyo non-stop with eight passengers and three crew

Da ist ja unsere Kanzlerin in guter Gesellschaft.........

Wenn er disorientiert war, würde eine Ähnlichkeit des Unfalls von David Cooley sich aufdrängen......nur daß diesmal der Pilot wohl nicht den Sitz auslösen konnte......

Hier ist der damalige Unfallbericht in englischer Sprache!

A US Air Force C-141 was scheduled to leave Thule Air Base, Greenland at midnight. During the pilot’s preflight check, he discovers that the latrine holding tank is still full from the last flight. So a message is sent to the base, and an airman who was off duty is called out to take care of it. The young man finally gets to the air base and makes his way to the aircraft, only to find that the latrine pump truck has been left outdoors and is frozen solid, so he must find another one in the hangar, which takes even more time. He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic about what he has to do.
Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job deliberately and carefully (and slowly) so as to not risk criticism later. As he’s leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says, “Son, your attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late, and I’m going to personally see to it that you are not only reprimanded, but also punished.”
Shivering in the cold, his task finished, he takes a deep breath, stands up tall and says, “Sir, with all due respect, I’m not your son; I’m an Airman in the United States Air Force. I’ve been in Thule, Greenland for 11 months without any leave, and reindeer are beginning to look pretty good to me. I have one stripe; it’s two-thirty in the morning, the temperature is 40 degrees below zero and my job here is to pump shit from your aircraft.
Now just exactly what form of punishment did you have in mind?”

An F-4 pilot requested clearance to take off from a joint military/civilian airport, but due to the amount of civilian traffic the ATC told him he’d have to hold.
After a repeated impatient request by the F-4 to take-off the ATC suggested that if the pilot could reach 14,000ft within half the runway length he could take off; otherwise he would have to hold.
To the ATC’s surprise the F-4 pilot acknowledged the tower and began to roll. At the halfway mark the F-4 went vertically up until he reached 14,000ft, then levelled off.
The ATC had no option than to hand the pilot over to departures and wish him a nice day, since he’d met the conditions laid down.
