Smile VP-BDD

Hi All!

I was just curious why this aircraft would be in Minneapolis, Minneasota, USA on a cold January day?
I understand from a quick conversation that the aircraft is based in Jo-berg. MSP center and approach couldn't quit seem to get it that it was a Global Express and not a Galaxy...quite funny actually!

Juts sniffin' around!

It belongs to Billiton, a mining outfit, which has interests all over the world. They go all over South America and the Far East as well - I understand that the aircraft actually lives in the UK, though the crews rotate through every few weeks from Jo'burg.
