Background
In 1967, the company that would eventually become Gulfstream Aerospace (then just a division of Grumman) released their first business jet, the Grumman Gulfstream II, as a successor to their turboprop-powered Grumman Gulfstream I.
Against all expectations, the long-range G-II was a massive hit with large corporations as it could easily fly transatlantic routes and Gulfstream was inundated with orders. It was even the private jet of choice for a US Vice President (Nelson Rockefeller)!
