Korean Airlines' Gulfstream IV



Sorry for posting this so late, but anyway, here's the Gulfstream IV of Korean Airlines, HL7222 (msn 1188), sitting at on the North Ramp. It probably brought in some high executives of the company. If I recall correctly, it came in around midnight on the 18th of November and overnighted for a few days.
