Lamb’s Daystar TV applied for and was granted a loan under the 2020 United States government Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help pay employees’ salaries during restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it received $3.9 million.

Soon after receiving the funds, the church purchased a 1997 14-seat Gulfstream V aircraft worth $8-10 million. In December 2020, Daystar TV paid back the loan with interest after the television show Inside Edition investigated the purchase of the aircraft, which had been used for Lamb family vacations.

What is it with these quacks and Gulfstreams? Besides its role as flying palace, the various Gulfstreams are used for a variety of military tasks. As a relatively small aircraft with excellent range and endurance it is well suited to electronic surveillance and reconnaissance. This is an Israeli Gulfstream 550 Oron ISR (intelligence, suveillance and reconnaisance) aircraft. Note the very large conformal antennas on the sides of the fuselage.
