A very sad day for Aviation. The Learjet was truly an iconic aircraft and iconic brand. For a very long time the word "Learjet" was synonymous with private jet travel. One of the most sexiest looking aircraft of all time with it's glamorous wrap-around windscreen to compliment its glamorous jet-set passengers. Hat's off to Bombardier for keeping the brand alive for many decades.
The 20 series lears. The most fun you could have in a jet outside of the military. Leveling off at FL450 still climbing at 2000+ fpm and bringing the power back to maintain redline. Considering their fuel consumption down low, climbing fast was a good thing.
Sad to see 1600 folks out of work.
Bombardier likes to put people out of work. look what they did Evinrude 2 years ago...
Indeed; hopefully they can be redeployed elsewhere within Bombardier or find work at Cessna. I can't imagine there wouldn't still be demand for their skills.
Who's going to use all that airspace above 40,000 now?
while working at Norm Larson's BeechcraftWest, Van Nuys airport 1969-70 used to watch Clay Lacy rock and roll with his early edition LearJet..
