Business jets

Business aircraft from the Cessna Citation to the Gulfstream – out in force at many airports during trade fairs and major events.

Gulfstream G280

G280

Small for a Gulfstream, big for a midsize jet: the G280 is assembled in Israel by IAI and completed in Texas. Here is how to identify the super-midsize jet with confidence and tell it apart from its competitors.

Gulfstream G450 (and GIV)

G450

Shorter than the G550, older than the G650 and still at home everywhere: the Gulfstream IV and its final development, the G450, have shaped business jet aprons since 1987. Here is how to identify the GLF4 family with confidence.

Gulfstream G500

G500

Shorter than the G550, with sidesticks instead of yokes and Pratt & Whitney engines: the Gulfstream G500 is the entry point to Gulfstream’s new GVII generation. Here is how to recognize it on the apron and tell it from its siblings.

Gulfstream G550

G550

Seven oval windows, rear engines and a slim fuselage: for almost two decades the Gulfstream G550 was the long-range bizjet par excellence – and today it is also a platform for early warning, reconnaissance and jamming aircraft.

Gulfstream G600

G600

The G600 is the stretched big sister of the G500: longer fuselage, larger wing, more range. From the outside it looks astonishingly like the G650. Here is how to identify it with confidence.

Gulfstream G650/G650ER

G650

Huge oval windows, two engines at the tail and a fuselage full of confidence: the Gulfstream G650 is the business jet spotters recognize fastest. Here is how to identify it with certainty.

Gulfstream G700

G700

Ten huge oval windows per side, a stretched fuselage and two Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines at the tail: the G700 is Gulfstream’s flagship. Here is how to tell it apart from the G650 and the G800 with certainty.

Gulfstream G800

G800

Almost a G650 on the outside, a G700 under the skin: the Gulfstream G800 is Gulfstream’s ultra-long-range jet and the trickiest case for spotters. Here is how to identify it with certainty.

Gulfstream GV

Gulfstream V

With the GV, Gulfstream took the leap past 6,000 nautical miles nonstop in the mid-1990s. Today it is a business jet classic and flies as the C-37A for the US armed forces. Here is how to identify it and tell it apart from the G550.
