Twenty-three, six rings, and a pair of initials
Gulfstream G650ER · N236MJ
N236MJ is the most legible registration on this board once you know how to read it: a jersey number, a count of championships, and the owner's initials, in that order.
The tail has carried two different aeroplanes. For the best part of two decades it was a Gulfstream G550. In late 2024 it moved onto a G650ER, the larger and longer-legged flagship, and the registration went with it — which is exactly how these things work. The number belongs to the owner, not the airframe, and it follows them from one aircraft to the next.
That detail matters for a tracker, and it caught us out: our own roster still described this tail as a G550 well after the aeroplane underneath it had changed. The registration was right, the aircraft type was a year and a half out of date, and nothing about the map would have told you.
Both aircraft wore the same paint — a silver-and-black elephant print lifted from a 1988 basketball shoe, with the Jumpman on the fin. It is the least anonymous private jet in the sky and it is very hard to mistake for anything else on a ramp.
It is also, by our log, one of the busier aircraft on this board.
