LearJets have a long and varied history. From their humble beginnings as a fighter jet prototype, to their widely accepted role as the preferred method of transportation for the wealthy, this jet has seen it all. The leer jet began its run as a Swiss ground attack fighter prototype. After a very short duration it became apparent that the design of the plane was not well suited to the original purpose of providing air combat support.
Eventually the design was purchased by Bill Lear, the tooling plant equipment was relocated to Wichita, Kansas, and the Lear Jet was born. The original LearJet 23 held six to eight passengers, and the product line has continued to grow in complexity and features since that time.
Within the pages of this site we will explore the various models of the LearJet (Leer Jet) , its varied uses, options for ownership and use (such as fractional rental), and a whole host of other topics. Please feel free to add any additional information you may have, as our intent is to make this site as useful as possible.
Happy Flying!
