Learjet is an American aerospace manufacturer of business jets for military and civilian use. The 35/36 models featured in this film were FAA certified in 1974. The company was founded in the 1950’s by William Powell Lear and became Gates Learjet Corporation in 1969. It later became a subsidiary of Canadian Bombardier Aerospace in 1990. The end of the Learjet production line was announced in February 2021.

I’ve driven all the 30 series Lears and the 40 series, the later far getter in comfort and pilot ergonomics. Great handling machines👍
Cool video. I flew for a company that bought a brand new FL 510 certified Learjet 25D in 1982. I was young and it was my first type rating and a lot of fun.
That does it! I’m getting rid of my Lockheed JetStar and buying a Learjet!
LOL...classic!
Are you sure you wouldn't rather have my lovely "Gulfstream 1 (G159)? I'll sell it to you cheap!
I dunno. Do you think having only 2 jet engines is safe enough?
I miss the good old days of aviation ✈️ Lear Jet Forever
Videos of this channel are priceless. Thanks.
RIP Learjet. You were the best!
William "Bill" Lear (1903-1978). Founder of Lear Jets.
@@frankdenardo8684 Bill has been dead for years, but Bombardier just killed learjet this year.
@@jagboy69 bummer.
My uncle started in a 35 for Estee Lauder, he was with the co. from 76-89, he loved these jets.
Based on Long Island.?
@@mthury4532 No, at the time and I think they still are corporately based in Manhattan for their U.S. operations. They had a private hangar at JFK, the Yaphank and Melville locations are just packaging, warehouse, distribution and design I believe. I worked for them in Yaphank for a while when it first opened. Is the Yaphank facility (Whitman's) off 101 still open?
You could always tell who was the captain and the copilot. The captains'
head leaned right and the copilots' left.
And usually a lear jet captain is the biggest a-hole you will ever meet. th-cam.com/video/e7Xq2KEDAnY/w-d-xo.html This is spot on!
If you wanted a Ferrari of private jets with luxury a Lear was your only option
I witness the manufacture of the last of the "Learjets" everyday. The Model 60 was the last real Learjet. The Model 75 will be the last one in name...
Also, the first Model 35 sits on a pole in front of the main office with a Model 31 wing.
Why did they stop making them Timothy Harrison, I didn't watch the whole vid?
@@scootergreen3 Well if you had, you still wouldn't know.
I seen the pole one last week when I drove by.
@@scootergreen3 Because Bombardier took them over and instead of updating the 60 or building a larger aluminum AC they chose to try and build a composite AC, the 85 model which they failed at and after that chose to put there money in Bombardier AC Global, Challenger, which are all made in Canada and end the 75 model because of lack of sales on a very small plane.
The Learjet 35 was powered by two Garrett TFE731 turbofans, which would also power four later Learjet models. The aircraft engine portion of Garrett AiResearch is today part of Honeywell Aerospace, based In Phoenix, Arizona.
Those engines were based on the APU from an aircraft I had previously worked on, the McDonnell Douglas KC-10 (DC-10)
@@timothyharrison8953, Garrett also built the APU for the Convair 600/640, the Rolls-Royce Dart-powered conversion of the famous "Convair-Liner." Convair also built the fuselage for the DC-10.
The TFE731 had around 3700 lbs of thrust at SL
Amazing! Thank you so much for this upload!
Balanced field length (sea level, standard day, 4 passengers, 1 pilot, each between 77-96lbs, helium filled fuselage for takeoff only, lav not usable)...
~ Lear 23 gave the Lockheed JetStar serious competition ~ very inexpensive to operate.
Great range & passenger comfort(s)
Great! I love films like these!
RIP Mark Savage and your 35B
One of the aircraft you always had to wear hearing protection around...very loud on the ground! P.S. when refueling, never put more than 10 gallons into one of the tip tanks at a time, or you might find a tip tank on the ground...
We had a new kid get a ladder stuck under an mu2 tip tank
We would go 125 a side then switch tanks.
@@BobbyGeneric145 I've done that.
@@BobbyGeneric145 In a panic, I ran over to the other side, pumped fuel in till I could get the ladder out.
what an aircraft.....wowser
I got a book on the Learjet and it talks of the first ones built , the 20 with one window? and the big brothers and even Neil Armstrong test piloted one to fastest climb to altitude. The days of cheap gas.......
Pilatus rulez...
but you gotta love those 4.5 G designed wingboxes :D
Lear Jet also started in Switzerland.
William P. Lear tok the ideas from the FAA P-16 Fighterjet.
@@cmram111 I didn't know that! I'll have to find a good book on Lear Jet, then
Gulfstream has entered the chat.
I'll give props (pun intended) to the PC-12, it dethroned the King Air.
@@cmram111 Indeed. The book "Das Düsenkampfflugzeug P-16" of Felix H. Meier goes into it for several pages. It even has a picture of Bill Lear jr. in the cockpit of the P-16.
If they had built something like the HS125 they might still be in business .
That company and aircraft is also out of production
38 cents per mile? Today you spend the same amount for a R/C model jet.
Cool
We just could not afford one of these when I grew up in the 70s
Still can't...😭
Why would you ever be able to lol. Only big companies would buy these
@@BigboiiTone We can dream, can't we? 😉
@@BigboiiTone it was a joke. In the 70s the first thing my now deceased dad did after becoming a surgeon in the Usa (he was from Spain) was buy a piper seminole.. When we would often park next to lear jet and I would look at him and say that we came from an abused and mistreated family because we could not buy a Jet.. We would joke around that way because we both actually felt very lucky to be able to fly the the bahamas every 2 weekends in a small piper.....
Threw that in here because we all know the deceased do see facebook and youtube comments.. it was really for him!!
@@alfonso87ful Fantastic comment thanks for sharing!
There was only one Learjet hater: Frank Sinatra. His mom died in one outside Palm Springs. He could not blame the bird, the flight crew screwed up (CFIT).
Bird's a hell of alot more live than the vid; 'sexy' should be the ad emphasis; this stuff'll make me nod off an' drop my martini.
These jets were loud!, as in ear drum busting loud at takeoff, and banned at smaller metropolitan airport’s.
Voei Lear 35A...
Silêncio muito bom
Belíssima máquina☆
What is with that music score - it sounds like its from 1954 not '74, where's the snappy funk percussion, the wah-wah pedal signifying hip, global 'speed' and the Fender Rhodes electric piano lending that air of jazzy business sophistication for the kind of men who by that time weren't wearing ties anymore - only an open collared silk shirt and a slim gold chain?
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
I think I need a Lear jet
As others have pointed out, this has nothing to do with the Lear 35. Those aircraft were powered by the TFE-731 engine. The title of this program needs to be edited to say MODEL 25 PROMO REEL.
You didn’t watch it all
WHY DID SO MANY LJ CRASH???
