Grumman Gulfstream TC-4C. There were nine built. I remember seeing one, when attending VF-101 FRAMP training at NAS Oceana, in 1973. VA-42 was in a nearby hangar. NC

I remember seeing them at Cherry Pt. I forget which A-6 squadron had them, but I do remember they were used to train BN's.

Yes, thanks for that clarification on what the TC-4C mission was! NC

No, it's a Gulfstream Adi518, later jet versions are the famous Biz jets. Has nothing to do with Fairchild-Swearingen (Metroliner).

Why the design is so reminding of the metroliner? :kilroy:

It's a G-159 (Gulfstream I) derivate.
