Nice one Matt.  That's something you don't see every day. I haven't seen a Gulfstream I in ages let alone such a unique example. Who flies that particular one?

Thanks Scott, I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a G-1, and I know I have never seen one with bumps like this.  You always know when something with an N-Number comes into NAS North Island that it's used for something fun.  An N-Number search said this aircraft is owned by Phoenix Air Group.

Daaaaang.  I've been salivating over Phoenix's Lears for years, but this blows them away.  Excellent catch, and well-shot.
