Looks like Michael is getting rid of his falcon!

both of them are on the market for quite a while now, the Falcon for more than 6 months. There was a price before, I don't remember, but now it is saying "make offer", I think in ACbuyer magazine.
Had contact to the operator of the Hawker quite a while ago, since they were seeking Cpt. Got a reply "owner didn't decide yet what to do" and shortly after that it was on the market.
I would like to know what is coming next- saw the Falcon flying a few weeks ago in LSGG.

I have followed/supported Michael Schumacher since 1991, the reason for having his plane up for sale is he has now got his own helicopter and has no further need for his jet plane to take him to his destinations, has a helicopter can take less space and cheap on petrol than a jet plane and hiring a crew to fly him anywhere.
one dot right

Yup, fully understand! 'copters are really good at the long bits, 1500-2500 miles between gigs.
Thanks for putting us straight!

As HS125 states, both Schumi's aircraft are on the IOM register, M-IKEL is the Falcon 2000, M-RACE is Hawker! Both delivered in early 2012 I think.
HS125-850XP, M-RACE (ex HB-VOY) is sold to Australia she had been delivred in 2008, managed by COMLUX.

Schumacher took delivery of his new Falcon M-IKEL already in summer 2011.

It appears to live at Bournemouth/Hurn a lot of the time.
I meet his driver by Geneva a couple of weeks ago I don't think she is for sale.

Schumacher's income wasn't what it used to be - this could well have been an austerity measure.
Spoke to his pilot once in GVA years ago. He thought Schumacher was a complete ****.Gave me an example. After having flown him around the world for 3 weeks and arriving home for three days off, Michael comes to the cockpit. " Hey guys, I'll be chartering out the a/c for the next couple of days". Guess who was flying it. Nice:D

Was it during the F1 season or on business.. surely the f1 season is pretty relaxed flying, one trip then sit on the ground for four days?
Or does he charter it once he has arrived at the circuit?

This was probably with his first FA2000, it was on COMLUX AOC in the past.

from what i've heard in business aviation circles, Michael is/was the more human of the two brothers.... :yuk:

Ten years + ago I spent a season flying a heli for Ferrari around the European races. I liked Michael for his straight honesty about life and Rubens was a true gent.
I often let Michael have a go, the shocker was that after one helo lesson it was difficult to see where man stopped and machine started, he had/has a level of mechanical sympathy which is truly astonishing.
Since that I've flown a lot of F1 drivers in similar circumstances, some are like Michael and all far better than the WRC guys who seem to think that all machinery should travel sideways at insane speed:\

Interesting. I've known his pilots from ten years ago and now. He may have fantastic helo and racing ability, but I've never heard a good thing about him as a member of the human race
