Darn, sorry to hear that about the Starships. I guess I hadn't kept up to date on their fate lately.

I had the privilege the other day to see one of the 3 original prototype Lear Fan 2100s. Not much to look at on the inside (since it was a prototype), but it was beautiful on the outside. It seems that remaining Lear Fan airframes are used rather extensively for composite airframe damage and impact testing, judging from a quick search of the Internet.
