Probably the epitome of the
executive jet, the Gulfstream has been built in four main models but with
several sub variants. Gulfstream 4 and 5 aircraft are built concurrently
in Savannah, Georgia. Fitting out is mostly performed at Gulfstream
owned facilities at Brunswick, Georgia, Long Beach, California and Dallas-Love
Field, Texas.

of all Gulfstream 2 models were built and many were subsequently converted
as follows, with a small number of late models being built as Gulfstream
3's. Construction numbers are in the 1-258 sequence, with c/n 87 redesigned
c/n 775 at the original customers request. They are powered by Rolls Royce
Spey 511-8 turbofans and can accommodate up to nineteen passengers.
The aircraft first flew on 2nd October 1966

Around
20 Gulfstream 2's were built with tip tanks for extra range and designated
as the G2TT. Most of these were later converted to G2B's.

Gulfstream 2B
|
|
|
Around
40 Gulfstream 2 aircraft were converted to this model by Gulfstream by
adding the wings and nose of the Gulfstream 3 to the Gulfstream 2 frame.
This version first flew on 17th March 1981 and can be differentiated from
the Gulfstream 3 by the two squarer side cockpit windows.

Gulfstream 2SP

|
|
The most recent adaptation
for the Gulfstream 2 sees winglets being added once again, which can be
differentiated from those on the G2B by a smooth curve at the root rather
than the sharp angle (see photo's below). This conversion is performed
by Aviation Partners and was originally unofficially known as the Gulfstream
2W.

A
single, early model Gulfstream 2 was operated by the US Coast Guard and
designated as the VC11A, although there were few differences to the standard
Gulfstream 2. This aircraft has now been superseded in Coast Guard
service by a surplus USAF C20B.
