As a multinational, multi-billion dollar corporation, Nike owns a fleet of private jets to transport its high-ranking executives, shareholders and athletes all over the world. Now, one of these luxury aircraft, a Gulfstream G-550 jet with tail number N1972N has been immortalized in die-cast form by toy company NG Models.
A 1:200 scale replica of the Gulfstream jet, the model features rich detailing that showcases the jet's orange, white and black fuselage, wings and tail. Of special note are details like the geometric pattern painted on the engines, track spike inspired graphics on the underside of the wings, the large Swoosh on the tail and the aforementioned N1972N registration number that nods to the year Nike was founded. The replica jet also comes packaged in a special box, complete with its own branded details.
High-flying Swoosh fans who want to bring a whole new meaning to "Nike Air" can pre-order this Gulfstream G-550 replica from Threshold Aviation now for roughly $61 USD. Its expected arrival date is July 16.
