@ San Francisco, CA
October 2024
I was out practicing with my new Nikon Z9 when I captured this G-IV bizjet climbing after takeoff from San Francisco International Airport. This aircraft was designed and built by Gulfstream Aerospace from 1985 until 2018, with more than 900 of this jet family delivered. The Gulfstream IV was also the first business jet to have an entire glass cockpit. In June 1987 a Gulfstream IV set 22 world records in its class in flying west around the world in 45 hr 25 min. The next year another G-IV set 11 world records flying east around the world.
