Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Rolls Royce "Tay" powers the G-IV. Fair kick for a relatively small aircraft.

Yep, the Spey is the engine that powered the F4 Phantom and is the engine on which the Tay was based... minus the afterburners. From memory, the Tay has about 50% more grunt than the standard Spey. Now that is cooking!!! Of course, they get to drag around twice as much aircraft, but the G-IV is still one of the hottest performing flying limos in existence.

Yours for a 8 digit price tag!

Oh, for a few more $$$$$$$$ and a lot more to run it.

thanks matt,

I found a spot down arncliffe where they fly over you at around 200 feet when they use the east west runway. worth a look for a plane-head

is riverine park. basically extension of spring street. puts you directly under the runway. you can hear the vortices hitting the ground 30sec or so after a jet lands. yee hahhh.
