A large jet arrived at the Augusta State Airport Tuesday morning.
The magnificent Bombardier, with an olive green and scarlet banner on the tail, was a pleasant and unusual surprise at the airport, Maine Instrument Flight President Bill Perry said.
“It’s one of the larger models that’s landed here,” Perry said.
The jet, registered as LX-PAK, belongs to His Highness Prince Karim al-Hussayni Aga Khan, according to the Web site http://www.planepictures.net, which identifies the aircraft as having the same registration number as the jet at the airport.
The jet’s formal name is listed as the Aga-Khan Bombardier BD-700 Global Express.
Best known as the Aga Khan, the prince has served as the spiritual leader of several million Muslims worldwide since 1957, his Web site said.
