Gulf Stream 11 and 111

[Kaysalami69]

Hello guys, pls does anyone know any operator of Gulfstream 11 and 111 in Nigeria or in Africa. I have a G111 type rating with 700 hours. I would appreciate any hint

What license do you hold ? Occasionally you see N reg jobs for G4 and G450. A friend of mine is flying a G450 in Nigeria it’s N reg and managed from the USA.

There can’t be many around-noise rules pretty much killed them in Europe and North America.

The G3, G4 and G450 are all different ratings!

The only recent operators of Gulf III in Africa that I am aware of were the Governments of Ivory Coast, Morocco and Cameroon. Not sure whether these are still in service.

David Topokh's GIIB was re-registered several times after his death, but I don't know if it is stil flying in Africa.

Not sure if below operator is still active:

Hello Bro. I have an FAA licence and also a Nigerian licence ( NCA). What's the name of the company your friend flies for? Can you hook me up with him? Thanks and God bless.

Is the G111 that noisy?

[Kaysalami69]

I'm presently current on the G111 and 11. Am looking for any operator in Africa that needs a first officer. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks guys

With hush kits they might be marginally Stage 3. Without them, they are Stage 1, as in Apollo I launch noise

Exactly, maybe even worse

Correction for historical correctness: Apollo 1 never had its engines started. No launch noise.
And yes, the Saturn V launch noise is regarded to be the loudest noise ever made by hand of man.

And a G II was then the first loudest civilian plane. I stand corrected, thank you.

I won't have that!
The G2 only had 2 RR Speys, the Trident had 3!

The Nimrod have four, count ‘em FOUR, Speys! The one take-off I saw at NAS Kaneohe Bay was god awful loud.

Not only great guy - but he has been around Gulfstream's for decades - he is your go to guy!! If there is a G in Africa - he probably knows them :)

Also Bob Holland - Number One Gulfstream enthusiast - ask him to put together a list of G's in Africa. You might have to give him a ride one day for it!! :)

If that fails (it won't) I'll put a list together for you on the weekend.

Often only used 3 for takeoff and when on patrol only used 2. Did wonders for fuel consumption but yes they were noisy; it was 'the sound of freedom' y'see.
