Very cool. Thanks for sharing this sweet piece of history.

I used to work for gulfstream (as a data analyst) and I actually got to look over some original tech. drawings and blueprints for this bird. The library that housed all of these (for every aircraft) was in the building I worked in and one of my buddies who was an engineer took me with him to look at them just for fun.

We could never agree if it was a good thing or a damn shame that this never went in to production.

I miss working for that company so much at times. I always felt like I was surrounded by some of the smartest and most talented people. Everyone knew how to work with their hands (even when they had a deal job) and genuinely seemed to love all things aerospace.

Very, very few companies offer this type of environment and even though that sounds obvious, it’s something else when you actually get to experience it every day.

What would be cool if if somehow you could rebuild the whole jet

That plane looks like a combination betweeen an A-4B and an F-11😂

You should use it in your house as a seat

[Lotek]

Damn man that's soo cool! So we're you a test pilot? I wish you'd buy the entire plane and try to get it atleast back to show and tell status!

My great grandfather was one of the engineers to make the Martin baker ejection seat safer for pilots

That’s 2 things that sell for a lot too if you want to sell it wait 50 years
