Can anyone identify this jet? Is it a Hawker model? Thanks!

Gulfsteam 200 or 250, I think it used to be the Astra before Gulfstream got it.

How can you tell 450 -vs- 250? Note the 7 main cabin windows.

Because it looks nothing like a "real" Gulfstream

If you look closely enough, you can see the silver painted leading edge boots.

Its an IAI Galaxy/Gulfstream 200.

It is distinctive by its nose, cockpit windows, number and shape of cabin windows, vertical stab air inlet just above the fuselage, the silver wing boots, and (though you can only see a bit of it) the cruciform horizontal stabilizer.

It sure does look like a Galaxy. I always thought the landing gear on that plane looked too small for the body.

Only a rec'er would say "cruciform." ;-)
