Im a mechanic, I've worked Lears for Years now, mostly 45's& 60's, occasionally a 35, awesome machine here, but if your going to buy one, when it comes to maintenance, $50G's $100, happens all the time, and it really should live in a hangar, hey MOJO great sight here, I've been watching your vids and think your doing a great job inspiring young people, 😊💪👌😎

That is the signature Dumont Aviation exterior paint scheme. That means the paint is about 5 plus years old. That scheme was also on a number of Falcon 2000s, a Beechjet 400, a Gulfstream G-IVSP, and more. The company doesn't exist anymore, but you can see their old fleet of aircraft all around, because of this easily recognizable paint scheme.

For sale? That's a corporate airplane. Got to pay for TWO PILOTS, to fly that airplane. 51, 000 feet...Wow! Smooth ride machine.👍

Well what gets people into a bind is the service of the engines. Average cost per engine for tear down and overhaul at the time mark set forth by the manufacture can average $250, 000 per engine. This is one reason why many of the Lears are retired early, can’t justify the cost to service the engines. Since the older aircraft are not semi automated or automated you will need a copilot to fly it if you can work your way up to a jet rating. This costs money. Compared to a Cirrus or a Beech Premier One which have a lot of automation to assist the pilot, the Lears are a whole other beast.

Oh, I would say that the Blue Colour Scheme of Learjet 31a I-CFLY is the best that I have seen.

Very cool. Calling my accountant. Been looking at the Piper M700 Specs. This Lear less than half the $$$$.

Does look like it's got a bit of scarlet and gray.

That emergency exit window is tiny. Looked smaller than a sewer manhole cover.

For your information, the lear 31 series has the same type rating as the Lear 35. The type rating is "Lr-Jet". The checkrude us to ATP standards. So a private pilot certificate won't do it! Also it is not single pilot certified. So 2 pilots are required. The downward fins in the rear are called strakes! They reduce dutch roll.

I once got to ride in a Citation 2, and it also had a restroom though it was all the way in the back, and not meant to be a full-time seat (perhaps this one is also not meant to be). I actually had to go, but the pilot said it was ok only if I had to urinate.

It sounds like you have been working with a speech therapist/coach. 👍🏻

[learndesignwithdev]

But those old aircraft would have had their airframe deteriorated as the pressure cycle renders them useless after a certain thousand hours. You'll have to spend more than 2 Million dollars to make them air worthy. Also the cost to have 2 Pilots and fuel. 😅

@ 12:20, who advertises a jet for sale without disclosing engine hours and number of landings? A used car salesman.

Lear Jet - "entry level"? 🤣 Price-wise? Maybe. "Entry-level" skill-wise? Good luck! 😜
