Thought this might interest some of you.

A London-bound plane that left Teterboro Airport in New Jersey this morning with two blown tires is being diverted to New York Stewart International Airport in Orange County. Making the news as it has a famous rapper on it.

Well that was underwhelming. Down without a scratch.

Outsmarted the press with the parking as well.

Famous rapper onboard was Post Malone apparently:



I thought they looked a bit high on final approach.

There was 16 passengers on that flight according to the BBC seems like a lot for a G IV, kind of cramped, maybe RyanAir are doing jet charter.

I know they could seat up to 25 but never seen one with more than 14 seats, even then you would never see more than 8 actually flying, squeezing people on to a private jet seems to be a bit pointless.

Read somewhere that he had an entourage of 15. I am going to start rapping.

That rapper I've never heard of but his head is covered in tattoos now.

Gulfstream trivia - whenever the POTUS flies on the 747 Air Force One, he is shadowed by a couple of Gulfstreams. If it all kicks off when the President is on the ground, he is whisked away by one of the Gulfstreams, not by the 747.
