loubetti Posted June 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Gulfstream G650. Note the registration number of N305CC. Not sure what the flag on the tail stands for, but the same flag appeared on his former Canadair Global Express. It almost looks like two, Carnival "C" logos with one reversed. The G650 costs $65 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted June 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nice! Wonder if he'll keep it on stand-by for those cruisers that are late getting back to the ship, miss the ship, and need a ride to the next port to catch up? Hmmm. Probably not.

Also, I understand that demand is so high for the G650 (recently introduced and with some 200 orders on the books) that when the occasional used one comes up for sale, people want it so badly that they will pay more than the price of a new one, as the wait list for a new one is 4 years long!

loubetti Posted June 24, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That's the Carnival Corp. flag on the tail. Ah! I didn't know they had a flag! I just would have just put the big Carnival / modified Canadian Pacific "C" on the tail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted June 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That's the Carnival Corp. flag on the tail. You'll see it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_Cruises but I think it's the flag for Carnival Cruise Lines, not the Mother Corporation .

sjcruiser Posted June 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Very interesting. Is the flag flown on their ships also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lax19 Posted June 24, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Look like Mickey's leasing or financing it... FAA registry for tail number N305CC shows it is owned by Wells Fargo Bank. Either way, it is a nice aircraft!! Edited June 24, 2014 by lax19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted June 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Maybe Mickey's got the new jet to court Lebron James around in to convince to stay in Miami :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjknox Posted June 24, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Its a Carnival corporate jet, the flag is the house flag of Carnival Corporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted June 24, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Very interesting. Is the flag flown on their ships also? Yes on the bow while in port, they lower it (Shift Colors?) as soon as they get underway. I have a picture somewhere as soon as the ship horn sounded for vessel under way (followed by the backing signal) the crewman lowered it when we left NYC. Sorry don't have it online, maybe I can find it. Gulfstream is sweet, like the red and blue detailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Now we know why there are so many cutbacks on CCL ships. Do you think that they are the only cruise line with a corporate jet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted June 24, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I thought you had a 337?! ! Actually, my SkyMaster was a 336, (I always had to remind myself to lower the gear, so I figured the 336 was a better bird for me.) ;) Doing the annual on TWO engines got a bit expensive, (as well as "feeding" them) so I sold the SkyMaster quite a long time ago. It was an excellent bird, and would carry almost anything I could stuff aboard, as well as never having to worry about whether I could get back out of a short field that I'd crabbed into. NO PROBLEMS. :cool: "SKY" Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sungold Posted June 25, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 25, 2014 If I hadn't read this thread, I would have assumed that the stylized "O" on the flag stood for "Oprah". ;-) Pam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it is a nice aircraft!! Good catch! I saw that also! I just didn't want to muddy the waters by mentioning it, as some folks would think it is a Wells Fargo jet. Typically the FAA may take a while to get the records published. Indeed, CC may have a loan on it with Wells Fargo, but ultimately ownership registration should pass to CC, or another corporation they have set up for the plane (often done for liability reasons). Wells Fargo will have a lien on it, otherwise the bank does not want to be the owner, just to become it if payments are not made and they seize it. Not likely to happen here.
