It's not a Jetstar II
Some more info from the PASM website:
Spy Tiger by Andrew Schoultz, 2012. American contemporary artist Andrew Schoultz used acrylic on a Lockheed VC-140 . He is an acclaimed street artist known for his un-commissioned public art.

Oh, and dicky11, I stated above that this is a VC-140. Consider this from flugzeuginfo.net:
"The Lockheed L-1329 JetStar is a four-engine corporate jet aircraft for eight to ten passengers produced by the US-American manufacturer Lockheed Corporation. The designation of the JetStar in US Air Force service is C-140."
I believe the "V" designator is due to it being used to transport VIPs, hence VC-140. And the ICAO code for a Jetstar 2 (or L-1329) is L29B, which is what I used. So, please explain how it is not a Jetstar II.

Thanks for the extra info, Richard! I appreciate it.
