1968 Grumman Gulfstream II N24YS - John Wayne Airport

N24YS is probably the oldest flying Gulfstream in the United States at this time. Built in 1968 with a C/N# of just 16, this GII-B spends its time in Northern California where it is based. Here you’ll see it arrive and depart in classic old school Gulfstream fashion with ‪@FlyWithOwen‬ at the controls! Enjoy the sound of the Rolls-Royce Speys as they climb via the John Wayne noise abatement procedure.

Rolls Royce speys.

[@Duderocks5539]

Sucks that a United 737 completely ruined my video thanks to the tower making him cross 20R and hold short on Bravo.
Should’ve let him go first or let the GII go first. Pissed me off. And to make matters worse, there was absolutely no traffic behind the GII on Bravo nor traffic behind United on Lima. It’s almost like tower did it on purpose just to fuck my video up.

[@mr.joshuah1412]

Noise Abatement is so stupid. Let the Speys sing!

[@bobgrob4]

too bad there isnt an affordable solution for slapping on a pair of newer turbofans
