Thank you for the information. I was wondering as there are several clips on YouTube taken from N36RR, a G2B. Ah........Gulfstreams, love 'em all.......just wish someone would pay me to fly one.

Could be tricky posting too much work-related material but here's something from the past:
Conducting a pre-buy on a GII SP. Client from the Middle East 'in tow' (at his request)
While some GII's are in fair shape you've still got to be prepared to invest a lot of lovin' in them. Ideal for buyers with low utilisation requirements

Cessna 525A Citation II at Southampton Eastleigh Airport on 5th May 2005 (Photo: Justin Wood)
One of the last photos of this Citation II. Ten days after this image was taken she was written off at Bader Field, Atlantic City, New Jersey after a high speed landing which resulted in a swim in the bay (see below).
The Citation who thought she was a duck!
Lol, excellent!
An excerpt from the accident reports reads:
The CitationJet departed Burlington (BTV) around 14:45 on May 15th 2005 on a routine flight to Atlantic City (AIY). The pilot first made a low pass along runway 29 and then returned to land on runway 11. After touchdown the airplane failed to stop within the confines of the runway and entered the Intercoastal Waterway. The occupants were recovered by boat.
According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, a CJ2 with a landing weight of 11,000 pounds required 2,930 feet of landing distance with zero wind. With a 10 knot tailwind (which was the approx wind at the time of the accident) the airplane required 3,500 feet of landing space. Runway 11 at Bader Field is 2,948 foot-long. Furthermore Bader Field does not usually accept jet aircraft.
Probable Cause: "Pilot error in which the following were factors:
1. A poor decision to land at an airport with insufficient runway length.
2. Misjudgement in executing the landing resulting in a late touchdown.
3. A poor decision to land with a 10kt (or more) tailwind."

Savoia, I know the pilot of that HS-125. A very talented guy. 
Another one of our pilots was apparently in the back "hanging on"

Well, my congratulations to your friend for his spirited flying and to Gordon Jones for capturing the moment. Together they've given us a great piece of 'flying art'!
