businessjet

Belonged to a United Airlines pilot from 1959-1963 who lived in Santa Barbara, but this is almost certainly Santa Monica Municipal as it is pictured there in another photo and the sign over the port wing says "Santa Monica." Now registered as N760S. It could be from a short-lived collaboration between Beechcraft and Morane-Saulnier to try and sell the MS760 as a small business jet. I've compiled a small history of it here: www.teamgivan.com/underblog/n776k

Info from Wiki N9881S Gulfstream Commander Fanjet 1500 MSN 551 First flight 14 January 1983. Later renamed the Gulfstream Aerospace Peregrine 550. An early attempt at a single engined biz jet but due to stricter regulations on single engined performance in the 80's it did not enter service and the project was terminated in 1985. Only one aircraft was built. Later registered N84GP which is still current in 2021 however it is preserved at the Oklahoma City Science Museum. www.flickr.com/photos/skordes/42152529241/in/photolist-wC...
