Notes:

The cockpit of this 45-year-old beauty, having heavy maintenance to be back in the air soon after its little incident with a window in which the enigine was damaged too. I gotta say the interior of this Gulfstream, even though it was all upside down due to its maintenance work, was surely like going straight back into a VIP flashback to the past. Hope to see this noisy one back in the skies.
