Hi gents


i took pictures of a Gulfstream today at Leuchars, it had a shortish reg on it, so i did a search to see what the gen on it was\is! the REG is N15CU
when i googled it, it comes up as a valid reg on a Cessna A150M thats still flying in the US....

can anyone shed any light on this please....

regards

Neil

Is the reg still current on the Cessna?

I saw a G3 at LHR in 1992 and the next day a G4 had the same reg..it was changed overnight. The VC 10 A4O-AB was replaced by a Gulfstream with the same reg straight away and info is not always updated that quickly. Re use of marks is common in the US

BTW thats not really a short reg....the shortest possible is N1 :)

Perhaps the Gulfstream is being used by a "Spook" organisation, perhaps moving Special Forces or terrorist suspects? You can tell the type of novels I read can't you.
