I flew F-HSUP as part of my line training, following my 6X type rating. Yes, it's a real performer, but Dassault has a long way to go to perfect the plane. There are many nuisance messages that appear on power-up, the galley design is a disaster and the interior cabinetry shakes and rattles like crazy. That said, it'l still a pretty nice plane to be flying.

The reason why some of the planes left early is that they will be used for the next day flights so they will have to leave early for the airline to make sure that they are ready in advance for those flights regardless of them being on display for the air show the airlines will have only set aside planes but once they are needed for the next flights the airlines will fly the planes when they need them regardless of the air show. Just good to see them for a short time on display before they are flying passengers it’s what the planes are meant for

Nice !! Just additional notes regarding BBJ A6-AIN. I was tracking this on my SBS radar. It made a few circuits to the southwest of FAB (roughly over Alton and Bordon at my guesstimate) after its first few attempts to land. Attempted first landing at 18:45ish and was still going for it just after 20:20, then climbed to 10,000ft and headed north for Stansted. Should have gone there after the the first few failed attempts really.
