How Do You Get US Registration N1 ?

Easy if you're the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The FAA's 1988 build Gulfstream G-IV N1 (1071) "Spirit Of America" landed on Runway 16R at Sydney Airport this morning, as showers of heavy rain passed through. The aircraft has spent the last
couple of days in Melbourne, after arriving from Pago Pago on the 2nd August with US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on board. You will find the G-IV parked on DOM5 outside the Hawker
Pacific hangar.

Sweet catch Grahame - I'm sure many of us are very pleased at what an #avgeek you are! :)

Me, for one!! ;)

Great photos Grahame! No ADSB fitted to it as well, only ModeS!

Execujet VH-LVH CL605 made a visit to Wagga this morning, only to get grounded. Was taking off but aborted at 232km/h and used all of the remaining runway to pull up, not sure if it was a bird strike or a tech issue! Since VH-LVH was parked in Bay 6, RAAF A37-002 CL604 taxied to Bay 3 (typically used for SF34 and DH8).

VH-LVH is an interesting catch Robert. From our Sydney ADS-B records for the past few years, the aircraft has never been into Sydney - unusual since it is operated by Execujet.

Thanks for the Wagga Wagga images Robert - always good to see what is happening down there.

VH-LVH seems to be a Singapore based aircraft going by the Execujet's spec sheet and flight history on FA and FR24. Though I'm surprised it hasn't made a visit to Sydney.

Thanks, VH-JCX Learjet 36 is in paint ATM, as is Sydney Seaplanes VH-SXF Cessna Caravan C208 is also in paint. No photos of these due to uni.

Hunter Region SLSA Helicopter Rescue Service Limited (VH-ZXB) Finmeccanica S.P.A AW139 called though, headed to the Illawarra. Only photo I have, the second memory card corrupted (time for a replacement I think)

Hunter Region SLSA Helicopter Rescue Service has three, VH-ZXA, ZXB and ZXC. ZXA is already in the Hunter by the looks, called though Wagga on 10th of June. ZXB was registered 12 July, while ZXC on the 5th of August.

First shot I have seen of these Helos Robert, still getting use to the old QF Regos on another aircraft (bummer about your memory card).

Wonder if I will see them soon at my local getting fitted out at Heliworks. AW139s seem to be the new black when it comes to HEMS operations in Australia.
