Dasault Falcon 900 EASy

I was out at the airport today and noticed this German registered Dassault Falcon 900 EASy [yes, the "EASy" bit is what is on the German register] sitting on the western apron.

From my very quick and superficial look at the Dassault website [www.dassault.com] and another related site [http://www.dassaultfalcon.com/index_flash.jsp], it would appear that the "EASy" bit refers to the really nice glass cockpit design.

One of the features that struck me most was that even for a low wing aircraft, the wings of this aircraft appear very low to the ground. It looks as though the wings have is a bit of anhedral which may add to the effect. In any case, it is one of the better looking aircraft around, and as they say: If it looks right, it'll fly right.
