Second Falcon 7X for Belgian Air Force arrived

On Thursday 13 August 2020, the second Falcon 7X for the Belgische Luchtmacht's 15th Wing, registration OO-FAE, arrived at Brussels/Melsbroek. The new Falcons - of which the first one (OO-LUM) arrived on 30 April 2020 - will replace the Falcon 900, which has already been withdrawn from use, and the two remaining Embraers (ERJ135LR CE02 and ERJ145LR CE03).

The dry-lease agreement with Abelag Aviation, a contract worth €124 million, will guarantee the two Falcon 7Xs during a period of 12 years, based on the agreement with Hi Fly. Hi Fly is the Portuguese ACMI specialist, which currently also leases an Airbus A321 (CS-TRJ) to the Belgian Air Component.

We are still looking for the construction number of OO-FAE. Info on this would be greatly appreciated.
