That is a rather gorgeous Gulfstream V.  N921WC.

Here is someone else's side shot from another time:

Seen that from my garden in Bangor! Did you see the C-17 just before it? are there any more C-17s due in today?

Hi Ryan, there's a whole section of the site related to G8 aircraft. I've just given you access to it.

Per list prices I could buy four Gulfstream Vs for the price of a single C-17 ( $240 million flyaway ).

I think I'll take the Gulfstreams.

But how do you fit your helicopter inside your Gulfstream?  One up to the C-17.  ;D
