The story
The Gulfstream IV stretched the G-III, swapped in Rolls-Royce Tay turbofans and became the long-range business jet of the late '80s and '90s. Later versions sold as the G300, G400, G350 and G450 kept it in production until 2018.
A Gulfstream IV set a round-the-world speed record in 1987, circling the globe in 45 hours and 25 minutes.
