About this aircraft
The Gulfstream II was the first pure-jet Gulfstream—transforming the brand from turboprop executive transport into a true intercontinental business jet.
Introduced in the late 1960s, it established the large-cabin, twin-engine formula that later GIII/GIV/GV types refined. Many airframes have been retired or converted, but the GII remains historically important in charter-era fleet genealogy.
When a GII appears in the market today, it is usually a specialized or legacy operation rather than a mainstream empty-leg staple.
