This 1974 built GII was registered XA-FOU in October 1974 to Jet Ejecutivos and operated for television / media conglomerate Televisa S A. It made headlines April 18, 1983 when forced to land at Mallow Racecourse in County Cork,Ireland due to poor weather and low fuel. A temporary runway was built to allow the aircraft to take off again. Pictured withdrawn from use in Detroit, it was last owned by Little Ceasars Enterprises from 1990. The registration was cancelled in 2017. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
