Talk:Jarhead: Law of Return

Bombardier Global Express or Gulfstream C-20G ?

Despite the shape is very close to a Global Express, this bizjet isn't one of the three owned by USAF : they are three dedicated Global 6000s being used as a platform for the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, with several wide fairings housing antennas.
Gulfstream IV are on inventory with several variants. Among them, "the C-20G is operated by Fleet Logistics Support Squadron Four Eight (VR-48) at Naval Air Facility, Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland and at VMR Detachment Kaneohe Bay, Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The C-20G is also known as the "Grey Ghost" (wikipedia). This is exactly the action of the script !

Reviewed some higher quality footage of this scene and it's clearly a civil Global Express with registration M-BLUE. I suspect the filmmakers just used stock footage of a business jet rather than spending the effort to film a genuine USAF aircraft for such a short scene. Corkeyandpals (talk) 11:51, 9 July 2021 (MDT)
