Gates Learjet 35s were never used for long range recce.
Argentine Air Force Learjet 35, Corporate Jets (Learjet 23/25/36, Cessna Citation 500, Hawker 125), turboprops (Mitsubishi MU2 and Aerocommander AC690) were joint in the Fenix squadron.
Their civil aviators were given a military rank during the war.
Most of the Learjet and Cessan Citation flights were flown as a fighters like profiles to cause confusion on the Task Force defences
Another use of the Learjet 35s was as a guiding IAI Dagger A flights.
The IAI Dagger A didn't have any Long Range Navigation System...just a Magnetic Compass...so the fighter bomber flights were flown with a Learjet 35 guiding the flight until the islands.
This picture was taken from a Learjet 35 guiding a IAI Dagger A flight on June 8th 1982.
