Yes, an old but interesting incident, invariably discussed in every Gulfstream initial class, GII through GV and in many recurrent classes as well.

Even prior to this accident most experienced Gulfstream operators, myself included, have always made the following call outs with the landing checklist,

"Three green, no red, 3 in air mode, spoilers armed"

I still make the same check on the 650 even though the checklist does not require it ("4 in air mode" in this case).

I've also added a "Bedford" check to the line up checklist to verify free movement of the flight controls.
