Phenom 500 serial number 5 (N454DR) was officially delivered last Wednesday to Tug Hill Aviation of Ft. Worth Texas, thus becoming the first customer aircraft worldwide.
The Phenom’s owner is a affiliate of Tug Hill Inc, a privately held, diversified domestic oil and gas investment firm. Apparently the delivery was made last week, thus qualifying for 2009 bonus take depreciation.
Serial number 6, was slated to be the first delivery, however it’s delivery has been delayed? until next month.
N454DR has replaced a Cessna Conquest I, and will also be available for corporate charters.
Note; registration corrected!!
Note; Model number corrected!!!
That is one smooth looking aircraft (especially that pic of one somebody posted in some other thread on here)! - I think it’s second only to that new Emivest jet, IMO. Definitely going to take a cut in the biz jet business.
