Iai 1126 Galaxy
The IAI Galaxy was an Israeli super-midsize business jet developed from the Astra family with a much larger cabin and greater range. Gulfstream later marketed it as the G200, while the next generation became the G280. Its Israeli roots are easily overlooked beneath the Gulfstream branding.
