“ LEARJET WORLD ” 1974 PRIVATE BUSINESS JET MODEL 35/36 PROMO REEL XD45154

[@wallywally8282]

I’ve driven all the 30 series Lears and the 40 series, the later far getter in comfort and pilot ergonomics. Great handling machines👍

[@CaptainSteve777]

Cool video. I flew for a company that bought a brand new FL 510 certified Learjet 25D in 1982. I was young and it was my first type rating and a lot of fun.

[@Oliverdobbins]

That does it! I’m getting rid of my Lockheed JetStar and buying a Learjet!

[@jakejacobs7584]

LOL...classic!

[@TheLastDay-BobReese]

Are you sure you wouldn't rather have my lovely "Gulfstream 1 (G159)? I'll sell it to you cheap!

[@RMJTOOLS]

I dunno. Do you think having only 2 jet engines is safe enough?

[@jagboy69]

RIP Learjet. You were the best!

My uncle started in a 35 for Estee Lauder, he was with the co. from 76-89, he loved these jets.

[@mthury4532]

Based on Long Island.?

[@jimmartin7881]

@@mthury4532 No, at the time and I think they still are corporately based in Manhattan for their U.S. operations. They had a private hangar at JFK, the Yaphank and Melville locations are just packaging, warehouse, distribution and design I believe. I worked for them in Yaphank for a while when it first opened. Is the Yaphank facility (Whitman's) off 101 still open?

[@jakejacobs7584]

You could always tell who was the captain and the copilot. The captains' head leaned right and the copilots' left.

[@jagboy69]

And usually a lear jet captain is the biggest a-hole you will ever meet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2i7omWBeql0pLs This is spot on!

[@johneddy908]

The Learjet 35 was powered by two Garrett TFE731 turbofans, which would also power four later Learjet models. The aircraft engine portion of Garrett AiResearch is today part of Honeywell Aerospace, based In Phoenix, Arizona.

[@timothyharrison8953]

Those engines were based on the APU from an aircraft I had previously worked on, the McDonnell Douglas KC-10 (DC-10)

[@johneddy908]

@@timothyharrison8953, Garrett also built the APU for the Convair 600/640, the Rolls-Royce Dart-powered conversion of the famous "Convair-Liner." Convair also built the fuselage for the DC-10.

[@hertzair1186]

The TFE731 had around 3700 lbs of thrust at SL

[@wesleynash2598]

If you wanted a Ferrari of private jets with luxury a Lear was your only option

[@publicmail2]

Balanced field length (sea level, standard day, 4 passengers, 1 pilot, each between 77-96lbs, helium filled fuselage for takeoff only, lav not usable)...

[@glennellis1584]

~ Lear 23 gave the Lockheed JetStar serious competition ~ very inexpensive to operate. Great range & passenger comfort(s)

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great! I love films like these!

[@timothyharrison8953]

I witness the manufacture of the last of the "Learjets" everyday. The Model 60 was the last real Learjet. The Model 75 will be the last one in name... Also, the first Model 35 sits on a pole in front of the main office with a Model 31 wing.

[@scootergreen3]

Why did they stop making them Timothy Harrison, I didn't watch the whole vid?

[@james-faulkner]

@@scootergreen3 Well if you had, you still wouldn't know.

[@citationxpilot]

I seen the pole one last week when I drove by.

[@ernie5955]

@@scootergreen3 Because Bombardier took them over and instead of updating the 60 or building a larger aluminum AC they chose to try and build a composite AC, the 85 model which they failed at and after that chose to put there money in Bombardier AC Global, Challenger, which are all made in Canada and end the 75 model because of lack of sales on a very small plane.

[@advancedaircraft]

Amazing! Thank you so much for this upload!

[@abundantYOUniverse]

RIP Mark Savage and your 35B

[@donny526]

what an aircraft.....wowser

[@brentboswell1294]

One of the aircraft you always had to wear hearing protection around...very loud on the ground! P.S. when refueling, never put more than 10 gallons into one of the tip tanks at a time, or you might find a tip tank on the ground...

[@BobbyGeneric145]

We had a new kid get a ladder stuck under an mu2 tip tank

[@RR-pw5nb]

We would go 125 a side then switch tanks.

[@RR-pw5nb]

@@BobbyGeneric145 I've done that.

[@RR-pw5nb]

@@BobbyGeneric145 In a panic, I ran over to the other side, pumped fuel in till I could get the ladder out.

[@xx3868]

I got a book on the Learjet and it talks of the first ones built , the 20 with one window? and the big brothers and even Neil Armstrong test piloted one to fastest climb to altitude. The days of cheap gas.......

[@darrens.4322]

There was only one Learjet hater: Frank Sinatra. His mom died in one outside Palm Springs. He could not blame the bird, the flight crew screwed up (CFIT).

[@philliplopez8745]

If they had built something like the HS125 they might still be in business .

[@MGXsport]

That company and aircraft is also out of production

[@Armafly]

38 cents per mile? Today you spend the same amount for a R/C model jet.

[@cacarotocacimbinha2905]

Cool

We just could not afford one of these when I grew up in the 70s

[@alfonso87ful]

@@RolloTonéBrownTown it was a joke. In the 70s the first thing my now deceased dad did after becoming a surgeon in the Usa (he was from Spain) was buy a piper seminole.. When we would often park next to lear jet and I would look at him and say that we came from an abused and mistreated family because we could not buy a Jet.. We would joke around that way because we both actually felt very lucky to be able to fly the the bahamas every 2 weekends in a small piper..... Threw that in here because we all know the deceased do see facebook and youtube comments.. it was really for him!!

These jets were loud!, as in ear drum busting loud at takeoff, and banned at smaller metropolitan airport’s.

Bird's a hell of alot more live than the vid; 'sexy' should be the ad emphasis; this stuff'll make me nod off an' drop my martini.

[@Autostade67]

What is with that music score - it sounds like its from 1954 not '74, where's the snappy funk percussion, the wah-wah pedal signifying hip, global 'speed' and the Fender Rhodes electric piano lending that air of jazzy business sophistication for the kind of men who by that time weren't wearing ties anymore - only an open collared silk shirt and a slim gold chain?

[@Brimmlinn]

As others have pointed out, this has nothing to do with the Lear 35. Those aircraft were powered by the TFE-731 engine. The title of this program needs to be edited to say MODEL 25 PROMO REEL.
