Who knows, this photo was posted on airliners.net in 2011 and photo credit is 'withheld', location 'unknown'.

One of the world's quickest two jet aircraft (the other being sister ship N131SU) acquired from the Ukraine AF and refurbed by Pride Aircraft. Last time I checked both were owned by some shell corporation in Delaware. Can't make out the logos on the vertical stabilizer (logos were added after the videos were made).

If I had a mere $6M (a bargain for this aircraft which has a replacement cost of $40M+) in 2009 I'd have been on this like wet on water -

The ability to fly into tall buildings is invaluable to corporations.

They buy airliners for that.

At one time, corps used old fighters and bombers as high speed couriers. That's pretty much gone by the wayside. Other warcraft are owned by corps but are actually the personal toy of the bossman. Expenses can be written off that way. There are corps that buy warcraft to refurb and resell. Of course, there's Air America, Inc.
