Who knows what a/c this is ?

Post by MyOneOFour »

Came across an undercarriage + wings of an unknown aircraft at Pima this year.
Can anyone tell me what aircraft this is ?

I'd say a Gulfstream 1.

Correct; and if it's ex-military (not unlikely at Pima...) it would be a version of the C-4 (military designation of the G.159 Gulfstream 1).

Thanx a lot gents. :yourock:
And now for the one million dollar question: does anybody have any clue about the serialnumber ?

Unlikely in my opinion. First of all the stars and bars should be visible under the wing and the C-4's that I can find have a different style light on the wingtip. See here for a C-4 and here for a normal G.159.

I have found the answer myself: it is the N4NA because the rest of it is also stored in the restoration compound.
And again a big thank you to you guys that you figured it out so quickly. You should compete in the upcoming NSK !! :respect:

Hi Erwin,

It is a former NASA Gulfstream so no roundel under the wing(s).
But I appreciate your input !
