Those baby Lears weren't quiet.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Nor STOL. But they got to FL410 pretty quickly, and practically owned that altitude for quite a while. We didn't get too concerned about correct altitude for direction of flight at 410 until other bizjets started to proliferate.

They were noisy and fast! :-) Bill Lear opened a brand new world with those!
ReplyDeleteBack 20 years ago, the noise champs at BDR were a Lear 24 (N400EP), and a BAC-111 owned by Calumet Farms (yeah, the horsie guys). Either one, on departure, caused conversations to be suspended.

ReplyDeleteNot particularly fast. Better than a Slowtation, but they were about 440 TAS, same as FFJs, HS25s, L329s, and G2s, but not as fast as DC-9s. Trijets, 8s, 7-0s, and Convairs were all at 490-500 (in the days before the fuel crunch).
