A Gulfstream 500 Lands at Detroit City Airport

Occasionally, I will see planes that are landing at Detroit City (Coleman A. Young) Airport.  It is located north of I-94 on Conner Avenue.  It is used for general aviation, although there have been discussions of using it for limited commercial traffic.  At one time it was served by Southwest.  It is currently owned by the city but its future is in doubt.

As I was waiting for the next ship, I saw this plane landing.  The glide path is just past the east end of Belle Isle.
Apparently this is the plane that Gulfstream uses to demonstrate the Gulfstream 500.  They were probably showing it off to someone out of city airport.  It was later spotted at the Pontiac Airport.
