we have one of the 7 made and only 3 left lear 28's. used to by Armstrong to win the time to climb record to 52k .. what a kick in the pants it was to fly.. made the 25 seem like was only using one engine ... what a legacy it leaves.
Sweet. I got one flight in a 29 which was awesome with the longhorn wing but flew the 31A for 6 years and loved it. Almost as good of performance but much more fuel efficient in the ATC system.
As a mechanic, the 20 series was great to cut my teeth on as a 1st Jet job. Emery had 5 in 1978. Did Hot sections in the hangar with a GE rep onsite, never had another AC with the drag chute, and used the Oklahoma blue print methods to T-Shoot any problems. Life was simpler then, and so were the AC. It was a special time, still a glamorous time, it’s the end of an Era in my opinion.
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..
Back in 1980, when I was getting my Commercial License and Instrument Rating, a Learjet parked out front of the FBO. I went outside and walked around the Lear, staying about 20 feet or so from it, just admiring its smooth lines and sleek design... Gorgeous.
Who's going to use all that airspace above 40,000 now?
