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 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.

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.

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

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!

Suggest you contact Norm Hill (Norm Hill Aviation)

Home - Norm Hill Aviation - Worlds Largest As Removed Gulfstream Parts : Norm Hill Aviation

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!!

https://gulfstreamjets.********.ca/

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.
