Ryan,

I flew almost all of the models while working at the factory and the early 20 series were a real rocket ship. Their problem was the fuel burn was very high and 2.5 hours you were really wanting to be on the ground.

I have flown a 60 model that was able to do 14,000 foot per minute climb rate for the first 10,000 feet. Thats better than the early F-4's and they had AB. so pretty nice climb rate when you think about it. Full FADEC and nice glass up front so not a bad ride and you can stay in the air 5.5 hours.

Oh well, back to girls...

joe..i was a gold seal flight instructor for some years before making the jump to the lears et al..gave a lot of thought to going to work at simuflite or pan am as a sim instructor before giving up the goat. i hear ya on the fuel burn on the 20-series..that was the nice thing about moving to the turbofanned 30-series. other than that i preferred the old 'bottle rocket' lears..

Do not see any scars on that one, but would want to inspect it closer, with my teeth!

I would if I knew how, but I'm not up on that type of stuff, but it is a very cool high end car with wild paint, not another Flat Stanley pic or my beat up Toyota with 17" Porsche rims
