Has Little Caesar's Gulfstream been shuttling Members of Congress and other politicians?

Gulfstream II, #N559LC, is owned by Little Caesar Enterprises LLC

#N559LC is based out of Detroit Metro Wayne County Airport (KDTW)

1974 Gulfstream II, #N559LC: Detailed Leasing Spec Sheet

Is this Gulfstream II (a plane owned by Little Caesar Enterprises LLC), the same plane that Michael J. Malik, Sr. has been using to shuttle Members of Congress and other politicians around the U.S.?

Various political disclosures have suggested that Michael J. Malik, Barwest LLC, MJM Manistee and other Malik controlled entitites have fronted travel and private airfare costs for Members of Congress and othe elected officials over the last four years.

Previously TVT has highlighted several aircraft (1) leased or (2) believed to be co-owned by Detroit's Ilitch family that may have been the aircraft Michael Malik has used to shuttle politicians and others to fund raisers and meetings related to Malik's various casino syndications or earmark-worthy projects.

However, it's most likely that this 22-seat, Gulfstream II, twin turbo engine plane pictured above was the aircraft Malik used. While the plane is owned by Little Caesar Enterprises, LLC; disclosure reports disguise reimbursements for travel costs by funneling payments to third parties associated with Michael Malik rather than reimburse the plane's owners Little Caesar Enterprises LLC.

In 1999 Mike and Marian Ilitch formed Ilitch Holdings, Inc. to provide all companies owned by Michael and/or Marian Ilitch with professional and technical services.

Little Caesars Pizza was co-founded by Detroit's Mike Ilitch and his wife Marian Ilitch. The family also owns the Detroit Tigers baseball team and the Detroit Red Wings hockey franchise. Marian Ilitch owns Detroit's MotorCity Casino and the family has partnered with Mike Malik on various Indian casino syndications.
