Further to my earlier

A couple of updates to earlier posts worth highlighting here.
Further to my post of 27th June 2018 (link) a blog reader has kindly referred me to an item on the US Navy NC-37B (G550) at www.navair.navy.mil which includes a picture showing it carrying N544GD so is confirmed as 5544.

Further to my post of 20th August 2018 (link) trying to identify the cabin trainers at Long Beach, Eric the Pilot has sent me an earlier shot of the outside one showing a crest by the door. This suggests this may be the old Panamanian machine but any crest had certainly been painted out when it was seen in storage at St. Lucie. A pic of HP-1691 (link) active in 2011 shows no crest here. Could it possibly be an ex Mexican machine? Any help most welcome.

A very low definition pic but you get the idea

Update: Tony Dann has identified the crest as being on the Venezuelan G2 0004 (con 124). The fuselage was actually seen at Long Beach in 2007. See link to original picture It was rescued from the scrap man at Mojave and last carried N124TV.



Long Beach cabin trainers

Eric the Pilot has sent me some more "inside" pictures, this time from Long Beach. Both are believed to be G2s. The first has been reported as 078 (the old HP-1A parked at St. Lucie for several years) and the second as 107 (N10123). Any help confirming these frame numbers would be appreciated. Note the G650 simulator in the lower pic. A sad ending but better than the alternative.

 

Update: Thanks to Wes for spotting this, we may have the 2 G2s in question the wrong way round. The upper pic shows the "eye brow" above the central cockpit window while the lower doesn't have it. N10123 had the "eye brow" but the Panamanian didn't.

Flight Safety Gulfstream Update

Following my post at the end of last year, I have received some more pics from "Eric the Pilot" suggesting that the fuselage at Savannah is a G1 rather than a G2 as previously thought. An email to and from the expert Scott confirms that it is in fact the former N167PA (117). Thanks to both for helping solve this query.
