Found this babe the other day between stopovers at local airport. Any idea as to what AC this is?

The round portholes might a clue.

The original Gulfstream was kind of nice looking. Could have standed to have a longer fuselage, but generally well-proportioned.

It went downhill from there. Can't stand 'em, next to the Westwinds the Gulfstreams are probably the worst proportioned and ugliest business jets ever built.

Wait... Westwind... Gulfstream... I see a trend here.

Completely disagree with you mate, Jetstars & Sabreliners bring up the bile from the back of my neck!! Absolute classic design that has stood the test of time, of which some features are still implemented of todays G400/G450/G550 series.

Give me a non-hush kitted Gulfstream II with screaming RR Tays anyway.........

Thats what im talking about

I always liked the G IV, in fact when my numbers come up I may just get one, you know that and a pony.

I'll take the Pony Skippy --- the GV was the last thing the old man worked on - fixing its really bad habit of shaking its tail in cruise
