Thanks triple 7. Flying a G550 (right seat) to Dijon, France from KEGE in a week from now. Fun trip, still can't beat the 'ole J-Star for "ramp appeal" (She might be back in the air very soon from what I'm hearing.) Cross your fingers, pls.
Yup, I also flew a Dash 8 (S/N 5142)out of Michigan for a while.....I did an Atlantic Crossing in S/N 5206 (N329JS) many years ago. I'd like to read the pilot report you wrote.....Thanks
Got a lot of time in a JetStar-II (N99E - s/n 5232???). And a little time in a Dash 8. What a great airplane. Did the North Atlantic thing in the JetStar-II also.
While I was editor of Pro Pilot Magazine I did a pilot report article on the JetStar-II (late 80s or very early 90s).
Thanks for the compliment folks. That plane is in immaculate condition. I'll be posting a couple more vids soon. I've got a ton of hours in all models of the Jetstar......GREAT flying machine.
Lockheed JetStar is a tough airplane, and quite comfortable, but it will "suck your wallet dry" Not a fuel sipper with 4 engines!

Good question. Probably in the neighborhood of 800 FPM. The autopilot was coupled and following the glideslope.

US domestic carriers TWA and Eastern both used the JetStar during the seventies as pilot trainers-

The finest bizjets are generally quad-jets.
