EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek and elegant Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II, registration HZ-AFH (msn 171), as it sits on the tarmac at London Heathrow Airport on May 19, 1976. The Gulfstream II, manufactured by Grumman, is a long-range business jet known for its superior performance and comfort. At the time, this particular aircraft was being delivered to its new owner, Saudi Arabian Airlines. The Gulfstream II, with its distinctive twin-engine design and streamlined fuselage, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. Its advanced avionics and spacious cabin made it a favorite among discerning travelers and VIPs. The jet's ability to fly long distances at high speeds and cruise at altitudes of up to 45,000 feet made it an ideal choice for international travel. The delivery of HZ-AFH to Saudi Arabian Airlines marked an important moment in the history of both the airline and the Gulfstream II. The jet would go on to serve the airline with distinction, carrying high-ranking officials and dignitaries on important missions and diplomatic trips. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in time when aviation technology was pushing the boundaries of what was possible in business jet travel.
