Because they are "part of the process" in training of the young intercept controllers. The German GFD company is responsible to provide pilots (most of them are ex-military pilots) and assets. The Learjets are almost as manouvreable as the fighters and the pilots are well trained and experienced for the 3 hours missions! Intead of these the aircraft is well equipped. And I think it is cheaper too... :)
This is the best video I ever seen on Lear 35 =-) I know now I am going to buy one next year =-) Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only down side is I would need a couple pilots =-(

Sorry for the late reaction.
Thank you for your great comment! It was a really nice feeling up there... for me maybe just once in a lifetime. :)
If you will fly over Hungary just let me know! I'm an ATC there. :)
