RNLAF V-11 sold to Zeusch Aviation

After a dignified career of 27 years, Gulfstream IV V-11 of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) has been sold.

The old-timer was constructed in 1987 as N427GA with construction number 1009. After delivery it wore registrations N500LS, N500VS, N700LS, N780LS, VR-BOY before ending up with the KLu in 1995, as V-11. It served with 334 Squadron at Eindhoven air base.

The Gulfstream IV will be replaced by Gulfstream G650 V-117 soon, which is currently at Basel for the finishing touches by Jet Aviation.

V-11 was delivered to Lelystad Airport on 30 June 2023, still wearing its military serial. The new operator is Lelystad-based Zeusch Aviation who will register it PH-ZUZ. The Gulfstream will serve alongside the eight King Airs operated by them.
