Just found this photo that I took at the airport in Riga, Latvia a few years ago, Antonov species I presume?
Being that part of the World it has to be a Soviet chopper surely?
An ID required on this one.
I was on the beach near the naval base at Rota in SW Spain a couple of weeks ago. A Cessna 650 Citation VII with standard Armada markings passed over several times with its wheels down on the approach, presumably doing 'touch and goes'. When I saw this come in from the sea I thought it was the Cessna on another approach. It's superficially similar, but the cockpit profile is different and it has wing tip winglets and a high tail.
Not an ID marking or even national marking or registration to be seen apart from the three-digit tail number 151.
Any ideas?
Its a US Navy Gulfstream G-IV. Google 165151 gulfstream and you should get photos.

Thanks John. Strange that it's not carrying any other identification.
EDIT. Done some research. Its call sign is Catbird 1 and it's the transport for the Commander in Chief of the US Navy in Europe (and Africa)
