A twin-engine Gulfstream I is parked at the terminal in Detroit in November 1979. My sister and I were there on family business. While waiting to catch our flight home, I found a few interesting airplanes out the window as the sun was setting.

There doesn't appear to be much information on the internet about the airline, Coleman Air Transport. Apparently it was a startup airline that tried to take advantage of airline deregulation during the Carter Administration. It was established in August 1978, and went out of business sometime in late 1980. This airplane bears the registration number N75DM, one of many numbers is wore in its lifetime. It was registered as N791G in 1965, N67CR in 1966, N20CR in 1969, N75DM in 1977, N725RA in 1985, F-GKES then HB-IRQ in 1990, 4X-ARG in 1993 and D2-EXB in 1999. The plane was scrapped in South Africa in 2009.
