*RARE* Gulfstream G400 (N44GJ) | Roanoke Regional Airport (11-26-23)

READ DESCRIPTION
Today’s video was insane to film. The family of Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Foo Fighters, boarded this beautiful Gulfstream returning back to Van Nuys.

It is in fact a G300. Rebranded in the General Dynamics purchase of Gulfstream, the G300/400 was the successor to the GIVSP. 300’s hold 26,800lbs of fuel vs 29,500lbs (IVSP & 400) and this particular plane, sn 1508 only has two IRU’s and no forward lav… common differences between 400 & 300. G300’s were meant to be market competitors to the Challenger 604/605 with slightly reduced DOC’s. Cool video.

That was a G4

Great catch! But this appears to be just a G400, a G300, which would be called a GIII, or an extra older version, GII, would have very old fashioned jet engines that would be super skinny like the engines of a 737-200 or a DC-8. Now, these engines would make insanely loud fighter jet sounds without any roar, just pure fighter jet noise

@@feese_757only a few were made. It was meant to be a cheap G400 which was only a renamed G4. Less fuel and some standard equipment was dropped to the options list.
