Learjet 60

Today I went out the local FBO and happened upon three fine examples of the Learjet 60. Two were lined up next to one another on the tarmac while the third was right next to the doors, having either recently delivered or waiting to pick up it's occupants. I thought this was a bit fortuitous as I had just finished reading about the 300th Lear 60 being delivered earlier in the afternoon. This was also the occassion of the 300th Lear 45 being sold also. Both delivery ceremonies took place at the site where Bill Lear revolutionized aviation by designing and building the world's first true business jet some 44 years ago. The Lear 60 really is a great aircraft - although I must be honest I would have thought it would have sold more than 300 copies by it's 16th birthday.
