I was in Houston (Ellington Field - EFD) this week and ran into a flight crew for Stevens Group out of Little Rock, AR flying the Falcon 50EX. Really nice guys who took time out to let me climb up in the cockpit with the APU running and I got to see all the bells and whistles! Pro Line 21 cockpit and a very nice aircraft all around to boot.
Does anyone have information about the corporation? I heard from the crew that they would be upgrading to Falcon 2000s soon with the EASy cockpit.
Looking on line at the Falcon website - that EASy cockpit (at least in the Falcon 7X and I assume in all models) is one of the best looking cockpits that I have ever seen! Any comment from someone who is current flying one?

They have a Falcon 900B, a Falcon 50EX (proline 4 not 21), Falcon 2000 EASy and are getting a CJ3. I believe the 900 EASy is at the Falcon facility in LIT but they have not taken delivery of it yet. I think they might have another 2000 EASy on order.

Thanks Lonny. Great info.
They mentioned some of those other aircraft you mentioned like the Falcon 2000 EASy and they said they were getting a CJ3 too. I was sure the left seat pilot on the leg into EFD that showed me around the cockpit (James) said the avionics were Pro Line 21. When I google images and search for Falcon 50EX cockpit - a picture of the exact cockpit comes up. It has the 4 large displays and then the 3 smaller displays for the engines instruments. It also had a backup FMS aft of the throttle quadrant.
You seem to have a lot of information on the company. Are you connected in some way? I like to get a point of contact forJames and Joe if possible.

USMCFLYR,
Its a long story but the company split a couple years ago and the flight department split as well. I am with the other company but we still share a hanger until our new ones are built. We have 3 Falcon 50EX's and the standard cockpit is the Proline 4. There is a Proline 21 conversion but I am pretty sure they have not done that.
Sorry that I don't have their contact info. I believe they have hired a few guys over the last couple of months and a buddy of mine started this week. Not sure if they are going to hire anymore or not. The correct spelling is "The Stephens Group"
