new corporate aircraft: GULFSTREAM II
The fan-jet Gulfstream II is the fifth generation of
corporate airplanes to be built by Grumman.
Grumman's first corporate aircraft was the
Goose, delivered in 1937. Then followed the
Widgeon. Then the Mallard. And most recently
the Gulfstream I—more of which were sold than
any other airplane in its class.
The fifth generation will be the Gulfstream II,
the fastest jet corporate airplane on the market.
This new Grumman achievement will have all the
operational flexibility of Gulfstream I, plus nonstop
transcontinental and transoceanic capability
at a speed of 585 miles per hour.
Grumman corporate aircraft have traditionally
provided optimum safety, comfort and convenience.
Of equal importance is their longevity.
They just never seem to become obsolete. Goose,
Widgeon and Mallard are still performing yeoman
airline or charter service throughout the world.
The fifth generation Gulfstream 11 will take to the
skies this summer. Already, chief pilots ^^
and crews of leading corporations are ^ggfc ;Ij|
being briefed for conversion to Gulfstream
II, for fleet operations in 1967.
