Held my grandpa's hand tonight as is left this earth. After asking him what was with favorite plain that we owned, it was his 25. He died at 9:40 tonight after we talked about it.
I have a lot of time in Lear 25s. Flew one for Ken Lay in the pre-Enron days (before we got Lear 55s). Loved the LR-25! We called it the "Converter" - it converts fuel into noise.
Got a lot of LR 25 time. Flew one for Ken Lay before his Enron days. Lome me some CJ-610s! I popped the drag chute once on landing at Strother, KS, for engine overhaul.
I didn't like the range. We ended up with three LR 55s and a JetStar-II. But the LR-25 was a rocket!
1. Power is reduced so aircraft does not break any airspeed limits inside of the terminal area. The Lear 20 series accelerates very quickly.
2. "That annunciator at the end," was the trim in motion sound. When the trim is used continuously for more than 2 seconds, it goes off to alert the pilot of what it is doing. If the trim decides to run away by itself, this sound will be your first warning to stop it. After takeoff in a 20 series, you must trim forward quickly.
I hope that wasn't the stall warning I heard
