Thanks Aerodog!
Great article on Lear! It's my favorite airplane, and I always enjoy reading about the history of the developement.
By the way, do you know where I can get any flight test info on the Lear? That would be very interesting stuff I should think. I have done a few stall tests in the 20 and 30 series aircraft for return to service after repair of the wing and/or removal of the leading edge. It's very attention getting to say the least. I also had the joy to fly a 35 with the Raisbeck aft baggage locker. When I got up to altitude and set cruise power as usual, the aircraft went right up to the barber pole! I had to pull it back to almost a hundred pounds per hour less fuel flow (per side!) so I wouldn't overspeed! Quite a mod that.
Keep up the great posts, ciao.
