On my trip to San Diego, I happened to see a rather different looking biz jet and wasnt sure what it was. As I was looking at pictures today I came across it again and found out what it was. Its the IAI Westwind II. Ive so far only found versions for FS2002, and some mods to make it for FS2004. Dont think either will work... but they also "look" like they are from FS2002 if you know what I mean. Im using FSX. Heres an example of what it looks like.

There was someone of POSKY's forum that was modeling one, but he hasn't posted any updates for sometime.  There was also someone with a G-IV or G-V, but they too seem to have disappeared.

Is that the Israeli plane?

Is that the Israeli plane?

Yes, it is. I think its a very nice looking plane. Kinda looks like they used the Aero Commander as a base.

Yes it was first a Jet Commander then Westwind 1 then Westwind II
then the next spinoff was the Astra then Gulfstream G100 and G150.
If you put a Jet Commander, WW 1, WW II, Astra, G100, G150, all side by side all five have the same tail and all five have the same basic fuselage.
I work at an FBO at KGTU Gorgetown Texas and the Pilot of a Gulfstream G150 told me the story because my boss has a Westwind II and they were sitting side by side out on our ramp and I said something about the tails looking alike and thats how I found out the whole story.
