Probably can't do that in a Lear because it will go supersonic
Yes on 35's 25,s 24,s it would go supersonic about 5 seconds after the wings came off. In the late 60's early 70's a lot of lears crashed in the USA and very soon the investigators would go straght to the remains o the CB panel to see if the overspeed and mach CB's had ben pulled. Invariably yes. The straight wing lears had a nasty habit of tucking at about M .85, that is why the CAA reduced the MMO a tad.
Your Kapitan CB puller must have been ex Luftwaffer so he would have had permission to be a prat
