This morning, I went out to the dike road over by the Provo Airport (only my second spotting trip to Provo this year!) and I waited for a Gulfstream G650ER to fly in. The reason for this outing was because this G650 belongs to Air Lease Corporation, one of two of the largest aircraft leasing companies in the world. And this G650 was carrying none other than Air Lease Corporation's CEO and chairman of the board, Steven F. Udvar-Házy, the man credited for the conception of the airplane leasing industry. He was visiting UVU's aviation department and was to give a lecture on the main campus later in the day. I learned about his impending visit from an E-mail I received a few days prior. Given this significance, I figured that this Gulfstream was worth chasing after!

| Air Lease Corporation Gulfstream Aerospace G-VI G650ER (N1AL) on short final for 13 with Steven F. Udvar-Házy on board. Arriving from (I think!) the Los Angeles-area, given that Air Lease Corporation is located in Los Angeles (You can't track this plane on FlightAware or FlightRadar 24!). |

| Great looking jet, considering that this is what $65 million will buy you! |
