This has been successfull enough to pay the Lear23 but the new noise rules and navigation capabilities (RVSM) required to fly commercially the Lear23 lead us to give up this really exciting flying machine. And the Learjet with its straight flux engine was a huge fuel eater.
But those were the happiest and most exciting days of my flying time.
