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.
