one of my 'former offices' when i was based out of either detroit or el paso. one of the few business jets that can go vertical for a cpl seconds (before that banging noise and flameout). not much more fun in aviation than an old 20-series lear with turbojets in lieu of modern bypass-design turbofans..

Don't know squat about planes, but that doesn't look like much for $95K. A couple of $100K more to get it running.

For that rare of a plane its worth the $95k, there only around 140 of them left, and only about 40 that are currently flying.

If only he had left the bullet holes from that little "misunderstanding" in Negril...It would have had a bit more conversation value...
