California City Update

John Hume has recently (Nov 25th) visited this well known last resting place for old Gulfstreams. He noted the following frames in the compound; 004, 005, 057, 132, 140, 153, 200, 207, 209, 231, 234, 237 plus N44YS (098) along with G3s 333, 363, 378, 379, 406, 407, 438 and 477.

 

Gee Twos - Still flying!

With lots of pictures of old G2s in various stages of dismantling appearing recently taken at places like California City and Mojave, thought it was time I balanced the scales with a report of some still airworthy examples. My recent trip across the Pond found a pair of these lovely old machines still earning their keep.

N36PN (042) at Boca Raton and XA-CVS (167) at Toluca

N748MN (215) was also seen at Toluca, didn't see it fly but believed to be still airworthy. If anyone sees others flying, please let me know and I'll report it here.
