Gulfstream II - the first Gulfstream business jet

Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II is a business jet aircraft developed by Grumman in the early 1960s as the replacement for the Gulfstream I turboprop plane. It is the first business jet of the company and the ancestor of the Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft model line.

Please keep making Gulfstream videos! I love every second of it. As a tech who works on the G650, there is a sense of pride working on these planes. They are amazing machines.

[@BoldUlysses]

So jealous. Most beautiful planes currently flying (Concorde takes the ultimate prize).

He'll get to them for sure, on his Russian channel he covered pretty much all of them so it's just a matter of fact before English versions of his Russian videos will be uploaded.

Old A and P here. I worked in Savannah on G1 G2 and G3 Aircraft, in the Service Center. Good Luck to you.

[@BadMonkeyTouring]

My first type rating was on the G-II/B. I flew the G-II, II/SP, and II/B and III from 2000-2006. I never flew the tip tank version. Now 20 years later, I'm typed on the CL604/605, DA50 (Falcon 900B), DA7X, and Lear 60/60XR. Currently flying the Falcon 7X.

[@cactus9201]

Great video (as usual). Quite a photogenic aircraft judging by the number of movie clips!

[@totalrecone]

Thank you for all the effort you put in to your videos, Sky. They are a *must watch* on my list and are always very well researched and presented. Looking forward to he next one.

[@thegeneralbenjamin9518]

[@nickcrookston869]

Being younger in aviation I have never been able to work or fly on a G-II or G-III. I love the G-450 though I have worked on them and flew them! Gulfstream makes great products!

[@74gear]

I’m a 747 pilot would you be interested in doing a collaboration?

[@theenzoferrari458]

Yes do a collab u 2. Love ur content from both of you. Premium quality content. 👍😁

[@morskojvolk]

Outstanding! Please keep 'em coming. Especially the Gulfstream series.

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Great video but it blew my mind a 8:55 when the thrust reversers came out a couple of seconds before touching down 0.0

[@Fpilot]

I love this Aircraft company, Great video my friend.

[@mikebtrfld1705]

In 1987 I was a Reno/Tahoe limousine driver. Another limo and mine would park on the tarmac at Reno Jet Center, as one of Allen Nueharth's FIVE G-2's would taxi up to us. Mr Nueharth controlled Gannet Publications. He started the Newspaper USA Today with his own money. Up to his four story mansion high above Lake Tahoe.

[@dankuettel5063]

Ive had the privilege of taking care of all versions of the Gulfstream series aircraft. My favorite is the GIII.

[@HermesBird11]

Best AC I ever flew ... all analog no AT/THR, noisy, and so soooo powerfull. I have a picture somewhere of us passing FL430 with 2500"/min climb rate ... probably the greatest AC outhere, if you have the oportunity, go for it.

[@joeg5414]

I've always liked your videos. Pictures/video that matches what you're talking about, well researched and really good English but with an accent and little quirks, which I like lol

[@tiberiotavares9698]

I like the fact that your information answers questions! Thank you!

[@rosangelserrano5307]

Great video and very professional executive I love these gets

[@flyerkiller5073]

Interesting story about the plane during the Space Shuttle program)

[@Ken-xo3gt]

Flyer Killer. Another factoid about the NASA G -II is that they used cascade thrust reversers instead of the target type. They could be deployed in flight to simulate the sink characteristics of the Space Shuttle.

[@frankgaleon5124]

Ken Yes, interesting

[@Freesavh1776]

The Flying Drumstick is another of my favorite aircraft. Idk i just love its look. Even though it looks like it just got finished scratching in the dirt for bugs. Then had some wings slapped on it & tossed in the air 😂.

you should do a video on the BAE.125/Hawker 700/800. It's a classic biz jet that a lot of people don't even know about.

As a co-op student at Xerox around 1980, I had ride on Xerox's GII between White Plains and Rochester.

[@scottcantrell7348]

Love the inclusion of Don Rickles and Sharon Stone from Casino. Thanks for another amazing video.

[@philorkill]

Thank you for doing a video about the G2. I've heard, they had to go into reverse thrust in flight in order to simulate the space shuttles flight envelope. Is there any truth to this?

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Yes. Google Gulfstream space shuttle simulator aircraft.

[@igot99problemsbutmyaltaint73]

I was lucky enough to get to go on board a G lV and fuel it. Just the wing on it ,allowing for max takeoff on short runways

[@kissfan003]

Nice work!

[@Brimmlinn]

Very happy to see you used a G II B for the thumbnail. I’ve always loved ugly planes. :) These videos are taking me back to my early years working the ramp. Keep up the good work!

[@HermesBird11]

That's a G II TT with the tip tanks. G2B is the greatest of them all, with the G3 wing and winglets

[@davidtorres1114]

I need a video about the Saab 2000, what a beautiful plane and almost nobody knows about it

[@jetfuelboy]

Great job, once again. Hearing a GII or III takeoff was an awesome thing to witness. Loud and smokey.

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

The deep stall (super stall) problem of these aircraft was due to design foolishness. It cost many test pilots lives. Two rear engine high T tailed aircraft that didn't have this problem were the VC-10 and IL-62 due to their high sweep and anti stall devices on the wing tips. The idea of the High T tail originates in WW2 with Hans Mullhops Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Jet fighter. This aircraft was designed as a 'tailless' aircraft with elevon control but the high T-tail was to be used for trimming purposes only. One reason for this position was to avoid shock wave impingement. By having enough sweep and by having anti stall measures at the tips (to overcome span wise flow and the premature tip stall it causes) the swept back wings provide sufficient forward pitch to overcome a super stall. The IL-62 and VC10 both used saw tooth leading edges about 70% wing position to generate a new flow or they had slats. Furthermore these aircraft also tend to stall their engines due to airflow blocking them so can not power out of a stall, they need engine auto light to restart the engines. The High T-tail was chosen to allow the rear engine layout and keep the body close to the ground for the purposes of avoiding stairways. It has many disadvantages but in the case of aircraft that need to be low to the ground it can work with anti stall software controls. Aircraft like the B27, BAC-111, F28, DC9 all had super stall issues because of a lack of sweep. They had stick pushers, a sort of MCAS.

Great video mate.

[@valentinetk]

Someday, even without airworthiness, I wanted GS II in my yard in country side. It flew in the year I was born.

[@gmcjetpilot]

You can get a G2 fairly cheap now. Dated avionics, thirsty loud engine aside it is still built well.

[@williamreyes27125khz]

I still have the Gulfstream 2 brochure from its world demo flight.

[@bobgrob4]

be cool to see one with newer turbofans that are legal to fly in the US. New paint, interior, maybe some glass in the cockpit.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Thank you for your videos...

[@dinmohammed5858]

nice work. keep it up

[@daapz]

Perfect video as always, cheers!

[@martinda7446]

The Gulfstream 1 looks almost identical to the HS 748.

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

Same solution: engine on top of the wing to give prop clearance, a pod underneath to stow the undercarriage so that it could be kept short. Fuel in the wings to either side.

[@ahm_767]

So did many similarly configured aircraft at the time. NAMC YS-11 also shared similar features.

Great shot of a re-engined G2 (N900DH). How cost effective is re-engining a G2 ? The arrangement of the engines and large vertical stab to counter a stall condition is interesting to learn. Excellent Video !!!

It would be neat to do a video on the hawker 4000 horizon a very rear modern corporate jet on 75 made. Thanks for the videos

[@goawaygoawaynow]

The Space Shuttle was such a bad glider that one of the adaptations NASA's Gulfstream received was the ability to engage reverse thrust in midair. Only with reverse thrust engaged the Gulfstream was capable of descending quickly enough to simulate the performance of the Space Shuttle.

Why it is hard to re-engine the Gulfstream II? Seems like the thing to do to keep them relevant and still less expensive than a brand new corporate jet.
