Default Tail of the Dragon from 47,000 Ft

Of subject just a little bit but..... Last week had a "test flight" for 4-5 hrs on a very clear day. Our route went from Savannah,Ga area, Key west then up the west coast of fla, Dothan Al, to Chattanooga,Knoxville, Roanoke, then back to Savaanah area. I had the chance to get a few "Dragon" Pictures from the North side.Also Mt Mitch area and if you look close you can see the Blue Ridge Parkway If you have been on the dragon you shoud be able to see the lake and the general area in the pictures, Plus one with the Foothills Parkway ending at Rt 129. If you right click the picture after it opens it give a bigger view..Already been asked It was Gulfstream 550..... brand new aircraft. I added Key west pictures on posting #20
