Gulfstream IV Substantially Damaged but No Injuries
A UK-registered Gulfstream IV (G-GMAC) suffered serious damage yesterday afternoon when it ran off the right side of Runway 24 after landing at Teterboro Airport, N.J. The twinjet, registered to charter operator GAMA Aviation of Farnborough, England, was on a flight from London with seven aboard (including the flight crew). High wind gusts were buffeting the tristate area all afternoon yesterday, but the cause of the incident is still under investigation. The FAA preliminary report of the accident stated the wind was 280 degrees at 14 knots, gusting to 27 knots at the time of the accident, about 4:30 p.m. Damage details were not immediately available, but an NTSB investigation has been launched. At press time, recovery efforts were under way to relocate the wreckage to a hangar.
