Wilco Falcon 7X Impressive!
Wilco Falcon 7X Impressive!
All credit to Wilco publishing, as they have most impressively turned around an awkward technical situation for me that was of my own doing. The upshot of it is that their very polite, highly responsive, and most courteous customer support team have granted me a turn in their Falcon 7X business jet.
For those as yet unfamiliar with the French manufacturer of Falcon jets, then let it be known that they are absolutely and unequivocally up there with the best of them. These aircraft carry the distinguished rich and famous, and now they carry me - whoa!
There is something rather splendid about this aircraft, insofar as it brings together ultra new flight deck technologies with the old style plush fabrics of soft velveteens, softened hand-stitched hides, and the high-gloss polished hardwoods which form the elegantly luxurious cabinets, in which no doubt can be found sparkling wines and crystal tumblers.
The flightdeck is a working office of veritable switches and knobs, each with a function, and each doing precisely as it states. You are confronted by a multitude of screens, but instead of being lost, you are invited in to partake, for they are simple,accessible, and easy to operate. SIDs and Stars are present, and a working HUD is available for those tricky landings. Overall, the flightdeck is reminiscent of the technology found in its country of origin stablemate, the Airbus A350.
Wilco Publishing, hats off to you my friends, for you have blended a masterpiece of virtual engineering dovetailed with the old-school polish of the first class set, an arena with which but a few of the mega-discerning are so closely acquainted. This, combined with an old-fashioned customer-focused and user-centric approach, has to be a winning formula that can be appreciated by all within FS.
This is designer city, where everything has a label, and Raybans are gold, and by gold, I mean solid. I feel that I could get along very well in this sumptuous ambience, though for me, the real question is whether I would want to be up front or slumped comfortably in the back? Obvious really, Id need to be nothing less than the owner-operator!
Your invitation to join in with this haute societe rests below, but dont miss it, as Cannes is but around the corner for us Globetrotters. This offer is 25% off the list price, and that equates to, hmmm, �12m or thereabouts...
