Thanks for the compliment folks. That plane is in immaculate condition. I'll be posting a couple more vids soon. I've got a ton of hours in all models of the Jetstar......GREAT flying machine.
Yup, I also flew a Dash 8 (S/N 5142)out of Michigan for a while.....I did an Atlantic Crossing in S/N 5206 (N329JS) many years ago. I'd like to read the pilot report you wrote.....Thanks
Thanks triple 7. Flying a G550 (right seat) to Dijon, France from KEGE in a week from now. Fun trip, still can't beat the 'ole J-Star for "ramp appeal" (She might be back in the air very soon from what I'm hearing.) Cross your fingers, pls.
Now that's what I call a stabilized approach. Nice update to the panel with the RA/IVSI and digital/analog Mach/IAS. Glad somebody can afford to fly it.
Used to ride around on the gorgeous and sexy bird back in the day (via the long gone UGPL). With the wing tanks and sharp sweep, it looked more like a fighter than a biz-jet.
With four engines to keep up, is the cost way out of line with what one would pay say for a Cessna jet of the same year. Would it be better to have this plane with the four engines if you were way out to sea? What is the range? Say one wanted to fly non stop from Bogart, Columbia to Atlanta Georgia but wanted to go way outside USA airspace up to Canada, then drop down below radar to come into the USA, then south to Atlanta, could this bird do the job? Payload of around a thousand keys, or 500 pounds of product. Just checking, not saying I need to make this trip, just for education training.
Was the lockheed jetstar very much an aircraft you had to be several steps ahead, or was it a pretty easy aircraft to fly? and what was the performance like in those days and by comparison today?

WOW, a JetStar that is still in service, I'm glad to see that! great video and thank's for the share!
Thanks for the great comments.....I'm not flying it any longer, but the good news is. . . . It's still flying . . . . based in Houston.
Great video! I particularly enjoyed the change in focus from out the windscreen to the gauges on the panel throughout the video!

US domestic carriers TWA and Eastern both used the JetStar during the seventies as pilot trainers-
Good question. Probably in the neighborhood of 800 FPM. The autopilot was coupled and following the glideslope.

The B777 would be better for this mission. Plus you could get many more keys on it. Excuse me I mean product.
JetStar was made as a test-bed for technology;
I'm sure they have included every scenario.

Nice landing!
When was this video shot? Is this Jetstar still in service?
Was Goldfinger on board?
The finest bizjets are generally quad-jets.

Does the jetstar have leading edge devices?
It has what is called "leading edge flaps" (not slats) They lower the stalling speed by 3 knots
@@jimmyfarris3067 do you have any links to photos or videos of this? I cant seem to find any sadly
Lockheed JetStar is a tough airplane, and quite comfortable, but it will "suck your wallet dry" Not a fuel sipper with 4 engines!
