Private hangar where Tuanku Sultan Johor keep his private Gulfstream IV Special Performance registered 9M-ISJ. He used to pilot himself all his helicopters and his private jet. He is a very technical person and he chose aircarft and helicopter himself and personally study well which is good and worth to buy. One of his helicopter is Sikorsky S76. His relative, Sultan Of Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is a person who use to exchange ideas and influence Sultan Iskandar in choosing aircraft or helicopter. One of Sultan of brunei helicopter is also Sikorsky S76.
When the Sultan selects a new aircraft it is a careful process. He attends conventions such as the biannual Asian Aerospace show, reads aviation literature and goes to various factories all over the world to look at and fly new aircraft. His Majesty Sultan Of Johor personally specifies avionics options and insists on having the latest technology systems available such as the Gulfstream's Satcom and first-ever metallic mica paint treatment on his Agusta. Metallic paints have the limitation that they cannot be used practically over the radomes. Glass-based Sikken paints, specified by His Majesty for all fleet aircraft, get around this limitation.
