I thought what I've spotted was a Jayhawk, I was terribly wrong. Then I thought it was a gulfsteam variant, well, wrong again, haha.
Here's the link: http://0701019.multiply.com/photos/photo/9/1 It is governmental, USAF, probably on the VIP transport role. Uh, eric obviously has a habit of "copy-paste" answers. Didn't you notice that a jayhawk should have a "T" assembly on the tail. |

I'm pretty sure it's a Cessna Citation. Seven windows, long nose, staight wings, upward canted horizontal stabilizers. I'ts got a lot that matches these photos.

Looks like it might be governmental. If you have an idea of who operates it, it'll be easier to find more info. Still, I'm pretty sure it's a Cessna. |

Kind of looks like a citation excel with the tail and wing shape but I think the fuselage only has five windows and that has seven so I could be wrong

I don't know what the military designation for it would be, but it is definitely a military version of the Cessna Citation II. The official Cessna designation is Citation 550. Can't tell what branch it is from, but it is definitely US Military.

The aircraft is USAF Beech T-1A photographed at Subic International. none of these types are "mothballed" meaning, most of them are still in active duty.
Commonly known as "Jayhawk" by its operators, No. 6712 is probably doing the VIP duty for the US embassy in Manila. This type of craft is mainly used for VIP transports, pilot training and handling of "time sensitive" cargo. . http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/T-1A_3.jpg . http://0701019.multiply.com/photos/album/9/subic_pictures . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-1A_Jayhawk . . |

It's not a "Jayhawk". It's a Citation of some kind.
The "BeechJet/Jayhawk" has a more swept wing, and the horizontal stabilizer is higher up on the vertical stabilizer, and the nose is shorter. I just looked at the picture again, and you can clearly see the forward sweep on the trailing edge, which is common to the Citation and not found on the BeechJet. Sorry, previous poster. |

It looks like a Citation Ultra or a Citation V. Here is a link to pictures of a few of those.
