The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia received its first Gulfstream in March 1962. The Grumman G-159 (serial number 86) wore N678RW. During subsequent decades, the flight department has operated G-1159 Gulfstream II, G-1159A Gulfstream III, G-IV Gulfstream IV, G-V Gulfstream V and GV-SP Gulfstream G550 models. It has also flown IAI-built G200 and G280 aircraft.
More recently, the fleet has been a trio of Gulfstream G550s (c/n 5370/N386RW, c/n 5448/N586RW and c/n 5484/N486RW).
More than 58 years after it received is first Gulfstream, Coke took delivery of a seventh generation model last week. GVII-G600 Gulfstream G600 serial number 73023 wears N886RW.
