My research shows that the Tail number N987SA belongs to a GI, turboprop, not a GII. In the picture you can clearly see the tail section and spey engines and leaves no doubt this is a Gulfstream jet, so maybe a little tail number change for this special flight.
I stand corrected, it was a typo on the FAA page. It is a GII This is what is on the first page.

I'd question your research. A GII has had that number for years.

You need to read my whole post.
I stated later ( in red even) that there was a discrepancy between aircraft description and even included both in my post.
A little quick on the trigger, are you?

hawkerjet. You need to get a grip. You'd posted bollox and I took the trouble to point this out. My post was milli-seconds behind your correction. Hence the overlap. Next time you post we'll give you a week or so to add your amendemnts before we comment.
