That’s for boats silly, come on..anyone you buys one either has a use for it,knows they can write off everything at tax time,and should know the costs going in, and if you’ve got enough money and you fly a lot for work,why not enjoy private flights, and say screw dealing with 1000’s of ppl in the airport,and covid..a new car costs 80-250k today, yeah ppl with low incomes buy cars in the 40k range, but ppl with money have 4-5 cars costing as much as some of these planes,so spending money on fuel to fly where ever and when ever especially if you’re a real pilot,a good one, lol it’s called freedom..heck there’s ppl with a few hundred cars, so buying or collecting even planes isn’t anything but a joy for some..

A little heads up from the mechanical side. Many of those aircraft have mandatory inspections (Airworthiness Directives) on the engines that are due. That puts them in a category we call B-E-R, beyond economic repair. Meaning that it would cost more to fix, repair, or inspect the plane that it is worth. That would be why they are so cheap.

You can do FAA re-certifications to allow the HondaJet engines to be installed which are quieter, more powerful and lighter than MANY of these jet engines AND they still fit in the nacelles! FAA engine re-deployment and re-certification costs are about $50,000 for each aircraft. This will save you lots of fuel and maintenance money even with the FAA engine remount inspection/re-certification costs!

It also could climb more easily to F510 to take advantage of fuel savings at altitude. Much of the weight reduction came about by removing the tip tanks which reduced its range. If you are thinking about shorter runways and don't need the range, the 31 would be good. If you want the range, try the 35. Be sure to get proper training.

Damn: Flown a few in your history lesson so here we go: Westwind II: DOG on the ground. One reverser might come out before the other so hang on tight. Decent handling at 10,000'. Hawker size cabin for way less money. While the external baggage compartments are not pressurized, they are heated (electric blankets). The FMS was programmed with a 1" wide paper tape - yes kids, like a very long set of punch cards. And they had to be done in order, SLOWLY or it wouldn't load right (about 6 per revision). When I left the airplane in 1995, we were one of only 5 Collins operators who still had Jepp subscriptions on paper tape. Finally, some older celeb's appreciated the airplane because it could go reasonably fast without a whole lot of stairs to get in. The 731 JetStar: AWESOME ANIMAL. Originally designed as an Air Force Executive transport. Yes, old. But a Gulfstream II sized cabin for 2/3 the fuel (even with 4 engines) and a DREAM to fly. LOVED this airplane (ok, it was my first jet and there is always something for your first love). Actually, the cockpit looks a LOT like the C-130 - though faster (sorry Herc drivers). I also liked the "eyebrow" windows which really lets you see the runway you're circling to...but circling is so out of fashion now. Eventually, Lockheed wanted to kill it (liability) so they put out an AD on the tail hinge pin, cancelled all the PMA's for it and the only one's still flying are part 91. Too bad. Took my first Jet-A bath while draining the mast from the fuel dump-S pipe in that bird. I'm sure there are tons of other Lear and Citation driver who can comment on their sleds. Thanks for summarizing Jimmy! Love the channel PS: Famous Jetstar owners: ELVIS, The Andretti brothers, Kenny Rogers, Wayne Newton (I can picture the kids having to look ALL of these up).

The early Lear 20's (23, 24, 25, and 28) had the CJ-610 engines, the same engines (Civilian version, without the afterburner) as the military T-38's. The bad news, however, is that their ear-splitting takeoff noise levels has them banned from many U.S. airports. (also, the Lear 24D was doing aileron rolls, not Barrel Rolls.) Rockwell-Standard purchased the Aero Commander line back in 1958, when they were already making their first flights in their own business jet, the famed Sabreliners. So the Aero Commander line finished design and development of the 1121 Jet Commander by 1963. But then along came the FTC and said, "hold on a minute, you've got a huge company building two different business jets through two different subsidiaries - we smell a 'monopoly'...." North American Aviation / North American Rockwell / Rockwell was told in no uncertain terms - "you have to sell one of these jets!" Given the novelty and other limitations (and future prospective sales) of the Jet Commander (1121) vs the vastly superior Sabreliner, Rockwell sold Jet Commander to Israeli Aircraft Industries, NOT the whole Aero Commander Line. (Spoiler alert: I'm a professional corporate pilot, with Types: Lear Jet Type, DA10 [Falcon10], CE650, EMB500, BE300, 35 years and over 12,000 hours experience)

I then sat around for a couple days while the pilot/marketing head got his jet certifications so we could return in a slightly used Mitsubishi MU-2. In the next year I logged over 100 hours riding in the right front seat of that MU-2 which was known back then as the rice rocket. At that time it was the worlds fastest non military prop driven aircraft.

The FAA re-certification cost after the price of the new flight deck is around $50,000 for an onsite inspection and full flight deck designs/plans and aircraft review/inspection. Sooooo, for about $125,000 in upgrades and FAA inspections, any one of these can be made fully single-pilot! V
