Ah yes that was the other gulfstream. It flew into JFK Friday then went down to IAD and now back to ISP. Thats the one I really wanted, the one I shot only has a small Saudi flag by the door.

Nice catches by both of you guys! So was the entire Saudi Royal family visiting this week?

thanks Moose, it sure seems that way. With cameo's from the King of Kuwait and Jordan who arrived this evening at well. Was on a A319 so I'm guessing it was the Comlux A319 because he used it earlier this year.

I guess the strip clubs in Manhattan were pretty busy.

Saudi SP was in to JFK this weekend as well..after dark however.

HZ-101(another Sauid aircraft, BBJ) arrived at EWR this evening, picture to come later. VP-BKS departed back to Europe last night. VP-CEC departed yesterday as well and is now back enroute to EWR. Its too bad that whoever they picked up didn't fly in on something new.

All those movements Bill, they'll be renaming Newark to King Khaled International! :lol: (in case people unsure - it's the name of Riyadh's airport).

[njgtr82]

Very true Mark, they are here often as it is. But completely taking over this week. This morning I took a ride up to SWF before work.
