+Duderocks5539 I was very lucky to catch this one, I just randomly stopped by the airport on my lunch break. Definitely one of my top catches yet. Thanks!
This aircraft holds a unique and significant place in aviation history, first as a 20 series Learjet and second as Longhorn Wing Lear. Thank you William Powell Lear!
@@clifft7832 I worked on several flight lines in my day and got to see the inside of the one he signed his autograph in. It was basically a Lear 31 but with CJ610's instead of Garrett's. Had jack squat for range, I imagine!
@@georgemallory797 That is the problem. Super fun to fly on 1.2 hour legs, but on the east coast, where they bring you down early, you would have a non-stop fuel emergency. And, since you can buy a hot rod Lear 60 for 1.1 million now, fly 7 people for 4.5 hours, and have good avionics, the emotional and historic appeal of the older 20 series is often over-ruled by logic. I miss the days of flying the 25 on air ambulance.
This is a phenomenal takeoff video! That little plane has some magnificent takeoff power with some thundering sound with it! Great job in filming this! I love it!
***** Me too! Like I said, that little guy has some muscle in those engines! It sounds awesome! I hope you find some more to film. It sounds like a jetliner with the turbines and all to me.
The Learjet 28 holds every single performance record in the world for private jets still to this day almost 45 years later set by by Neil Armstrong in 1979. Yes that Neil Armstrong, the first man to ever set foot on the moon.
Some of the fastest climbing machines here besides Fighter jets ofcourse these Jets would do 6/7 thousand feet a minute in the manual so imagine what it'll do actually ! Nice shot of this Old bird and again Thanks for the video clip !! 😅😅
Just like the CJ805, the CJ610 was developed from the J85 military engine. There was also the CF700 turbofan, which added an aft-mounted fan to the CJ610, much like the CJ805-23 added a similar-type fan to the CJ805-3.
Neil Armstrong flew a prototype, and told the factory that they should make these. They made 10 or so. That's the only reason the were produced. I flew the 25 on air ambulance. One night leaving Sun Valley, I set off every car alarm in the valley.
That is me .. and I can tell all .. that it was the funnest aircraft I have ever flown.. range was only 900miles about 1:30hr in the air.. but the best 1:30 ever!
@@TheHDAviation Thank you, Im glad you did also. It was a long time after you shot.. A buddy called and said "hey check this vid out its crazy loud like the lear you told me you love to fly and is like fighter for civilians " .LOL ... Thinking it was a 24-25 ..Days later I looked and about lost my mind ! LOL....then came the challenge of proving that was indeed me....Being he's a buddy who's not a pilot but totally into aircraft and live out of the area and I don't see much....I took him to lunch... then swung by the airport explaing I had forgot my sunglasses in my plane (I own a Lancair 4P with a Walters 601 another riot to fly).. you can imagine the look on his face when I asked for help pushing the hanger doors open..and going face to face with N769CA!!! Priceless... lol. We still have it but engines are off as we put them on a LJ/25 being they were low time and there is a STC for hush-kits for the 25.. Crazy and stupid in my opinion as they are essentially the same aircraft except the wing! (of course) and with only 2 left flying no-one would spend Zillions to achieve approval to sell only 2 pairs.. lol. I'm wanting it for airshows or something . Its still complete except the engines and a few small parts used also for the 25....I figure since there is 1 hanging in the Smithsonian it must have real historical value.. right!! :) your page is sincerely amazing.. My flying friends and I are constantly checking your stuff.... Keep up the great work.. Sorry for the unwanted rant.!!
The Learjet Model 29 was the rarest of the rare...only four production models built. I know, I wrote contracts on two of them. It was never intended that the company would sell a bunch since the days of the turbojet were numbered and the Model 35 was already in production. Their purpose was to plow new ground and certify to 51,000 ft, a first for a civilian airplane and the first for the FAA. At the time, no one at Lear had any confidence in the 35 making FL 510 though I will confess to one making FL 518 over the Amazon about a year before they committed to the 28/29.
I sometimes see and hear Learjet 35, 45, or 60 pass by at 10,000 feet above and they are impressively loud!! And those have higher bypass engines than the Learjet 28. Even louder than a 737 next generation. But the loudest jet I ever heard was an F-22 takeoff at an air show.
The name "Longhorn" is in reference to the wing. The 28 is essentially a 25D with the Longhorn wing. That wing was being developed for the upcoming Lear 55, the first midsize lear. With minor modifications the Longhorn wing would later be fitted to the Lear 60. For some perspective, the 28 has a maximum takeoff weight of 15,000 lbs. The 60/60XR has a maximum takeoff weight of 23,500 lbs. FYI of the 28/29 models only a total of 9 were ever built (5 28's, 4 29's). A rare airplane. I have had the honor to fly one.
Kevin Turner Thank you very much for all the information, I had no idea this aircraft was that rare. It was definitely a great sight to see, the sound it produced was quite impressive! Must be quite the aircraft to fly.
Question to the pilots: did the pilot of this jet rotate too early? I saw the wheels bounce on the tarmac shortly after getting airborn for the first time, only to resume flight afterwards. Or is it a normal thing?
It went up like nothing else.. That flight I had only 1 passenger.. My GF and it was the first time she flew with me .. The owner let me take her as I was dropping off a friend of his to go skiing .. so on the way out . as always when we where without the Boss .. we played !!
***** oh I heard an MD 11 takeoff and it was much louder than a 727 it was so loud I could swallow and my head was pounding and my ears were hurting from that md 11 that's why
***** yea the thing was the md 11 was louder than a 727 and the 727 was closer to me that was insane the 727 was very loud but the md 11 took off like a rocket and shook the ground for 1 minute
Yikes ... I woulda thought theyd line the runway up so it faced down the valley ... The engineers obviously know something about the terrain and or the winds here that I dont know.
The most RAREST Learjet's ever. Only 9 of these Lear 28's were built. Outstanding catch!
+Duderocks5539 I was very lucky to catch this one, I just randomly stopped by the airport on my lunch break. Definitely one of my top catches yet. Thanks!
Actually there were only 5 built and two are at my home airport grounded due to no arc for hush kit
Stc*
No even less. Some were Learjet 29’s which were part of that batch of 9. There’s 3 29s and 6 28s.
Damn!!!
Great seeing the jet climbing after takeoff.
Ya, it was impressive seeing this little jet climb! Thanks for watching.
Awesome! That sounds like a fighter jet with afterburner on takeoff!
It really did, I was really amazed by the sound this little jet produced!
For some reason turbojets do that. That's how to tell if a plane has turbojets or turbofans
Well, it does kinda have a jet fighter engine. The CL610 is a non-afterburning variant of the GE J85, used in the F-5 Freedom Fighter/Tiger II
I know, ain't it great!!!!
Actually, it didn't get the thunderous roar at all.
Amazing shot! with the slow climb I was just waiting on the homesick angel climbout at the end with building all that forward momentum =D
It was an impressive takeoff to see, I bet this impressive jet is a really fun one to fly!
Beautiful classic Learjet. Love it. These 28s were even faster, and more impractical, than the Model 25s they evolved from.
Only a couple hrs flight time before refuel? Even that would prolly cover 1200 nm.
Not exactly... the 23/24 were faster and had a insane climb rate.
at 0:57 LOVE that turn. and that climb. only and GREAT Jet...flown by very experience pilots can do this.
Sooo cool! I flew Lear 24’s and 35’s for many years, now retired. That was a rare bird you got there, sorta like catching a shot of Bigfoot.
Love the crackling in the engine noise!!! Just how a Jet should sound!!
I totally agree, I love the sound of this classic!
I agree! I call it “The Shredder Jet”.
The rarest of the rare! Great video!
Thanks a lot!
28 longhorn the only learjet rarer than that is the 24 B
The ultimate in private jets!!!! Nice shots, love the amazing Learjet engine noise!
Thanks a lot!

That plane was built because Neil Armstrong looked at the mockup and said that they should build it.

Very nice takeoff.
Fantastic video of this sweet looking jet!
Thanks a lot!
AWESOME video my friend! Enjoyed to watch and listen this good old classic jet! :) Cheers Matt
Amazing catch Jesse! I've never seen a Learjet 28 in person! Thumbs up my friend!
Thanks so much Martin. It was a real treat to see this rare jet in action, it sounded almost like a fighter jet!

The Learjet 28 is very, very fast and great sound of its turbines which has, I congratulate you very beautiful friend's video too well captured.
+270WeaMag Thanks very much, I was really happy to get to see this impressive aircraft. I was really surprised by the noise, it is definitely loud !
This is the perfect 90 minute aircraft. Gotta love those old Turbo Jet engines but it was a gas guzzler.
That Learjet took off like a scalded cat !!! Very impressive....awesome sound too...what all jets should sound like....best wishes....Steve.
Thanks so much Steve, it was quite the impressive sound.
Fantastic loud takeoff climb
I was really impressed by the sound of this bizjet!
u think she had her full throttle and flaps down ?
...Learjet...the first...and still the best...
It was a screamer and a bullitt, pilot put a lot of confidence in its climb rate, nice video and audio Jesse
So true, this Learjet sounded great and took off like a rocket!
Wow! Amazing catch and video. And that really was very loud! Good stuff. :)
+Canadian Aviation Films Thanks! It was definitely awesome to see and hear.

well, that sure straightened me out!!
only canned them due to noise... the J85 was loud As hell..
Here in Toluca airport in México are many bussines aircrafts they are great
Nice, that must be interesting to see. I always love some good biz jet action.
powerful Lear.......!!!!

They sure do. I miss the MD-80s flyover Phoenix. Planes used to be louder back then.
That's what a jet suppose to sound like!!!!
Totally! This little Learjet was one of the best sounding planes I've heard in person.
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
1:30 YOU CAN HEAR THE JET ENGINE CRACKLING
*THATS SOMETHING YOU MAINLY HEAR IN FIGHTER JETS*
This is definitely the best sounding business jet I have ever spotted, it did sound exactly like a fighter jet. It must be a lot of fun to fly!
GEEZ They Sound Like A Fighter Jet!
This thing was awesome to see and hear, definitely the best sounding bizjet I've seen in person.

What is it about LearJet engine design that they are so loud?

why did they build this runway directly in front of such a big mountain?
Did i see some red in that j85 jet pipe?
I wouldn't be surprised, this little beast sounded just like a fighter jet!
I have a shot of me climbing over a lodge the owner was at .. He requested fly by and when we yanked it up he said it looked like Cat-eyes.. lol..

Might as well add afterburners 🤷♂️
