I retired from a long airline career, during which I flew bizjets part/time.
Originally, I had flown Lears as type rating instructor, during airline layoff.
I continued that activity especially during my years with airline F/O paycheck.

My Lear operator flew a lot of air to air photography for Boeing or Douglas.
Also air to air shots for famous Hollywood movies.
Also gave me the opportunity to fly "corporate style" (FAR 135 actually).
Typical were flights for VIPs or famous entertainers i.e. Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
Stay there for the evening, be invited to their show, then return early morning.
Some passengers even gave us a nice tip...!
As the years went by, I stayed vaguely current on the Lear 20/30s.
No much active anymore. I rather fly my own L-21.

Airline or bizjet...? - Actually I prefer airline.
But as far as flying the bizjets, loved doing instruction and air to air photography.
Doing 20 or 25 touch and goes per day was fun... plus a few V1 cuts...!
Scared me quite a few times. The LR-24B is not a center-line thrust airplane.
In these years - a Lear rating was rarely flown using simulators...
