Hey!
I saw this land at the airport a few weeks ago and I was wondering what aircraft it is. I'm thinking its a Gulfstream but I dont know which one. I'm not good at identifying corporate jets.

Please help!

Sorry its so far away

eek! i trust you are all correct, given the N registration, but that series of aircraft did begin life as the HS 125 before becoming the BAE 125 (Dominie in RAF service) before being sold to the US manafacturer. :D

hmm yeap that is an advantage. :) the closest i;ve ever been to one, is when i was flying an ATC Bulldog near BAE Warton. I was flying south back towards RAF Woodvale as the 125 flew in on my right hand side a few hundred feet above us. :D

Well in this case, your problem might be...that IT"S NOT A LEARJET!

I think he was using 'Learjet' in the general sense, meaning all business jets; this term was used as such in the past.
