Gulfstream
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is an American wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics since 1999. Gulfstream designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and services business jet aircraft.
The company that evolved into Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation started in the late 1950s when Grumman Aircraft Engineering Company, known for military aircraft production, developed a business aircraft, called the Grumman Gulfstream I (G-I). The G-I could seat 12 passengers, had a maximum speed of 350 mph (560 km/h) at 25,000 feet (7,620 m) and a range of 2,200 miles (3,540 km). The aircraft, the first of its kind designed for business travel, was a success, prompting Grumman to develop the jet-powered Grumman Gulfstream II or GII. The first Gulfstream II flew on October 2, 1966. The 256th and final GII delivery took place in 1977.
In 1972, Grumman merged with light-aircraft manufacturer American Aviation Corp. One year later, the Gulfstream line and plant were sold to American Jet Industries and renamed Gulfstream American. In 1982 the company's name changed to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.
Israel Aircraft Industries transferred ownership of the smaller Westwind Astra business jet, approved August 29, 1985 to Gulfstream Aerospace on March 26, 2002 (production of G100, G200, G280).

In Mandarin, the number 250 can be translated as "stupid" or "idiotic".
