Gulfstream G-IISP N581MB (C/N 109) has made its final flight to the great dismantling yard in the sky. She departed Ontario International Airport (ONT) and now sits in Oklahoma with the engines removed and is slowly being parted out.
It almost feels like the passing of an old friend. However, when you spend enough time around aircraft, love ‘em or hate ‘em, they begin to take on their own persona. Well, at least this holds true for me. I (and many others) spent a fair amount of time keeping her always at the ready for the next charter hop. Now, she is at rest.
So long, old friend.

That's just soooo sad. A hundred years from now, a plane with all that smoke and noise would be a high point of an airshow.
