As far as I know a Falcon 2000LX should have winglets but non were seen while I saw the above mentioned one this afternoon...where did you find the info that M-LJGI must be a Da2000LX ??...and as far I know I did not use any alcohol today :cheers:

You just work too hard, dude. 8)
M-LJGI on East this afternoon had winglets. At first, from a distance, I thought I was looking at a Falcon 7X (I work a little less hard).

Slightly off-topic but the winglets don't increase the climb speed; the PW308C engines do :mrgreen:

Adios, Hurricane
