Never flew a 24 but did fly a pair of model 60's for over three years. All Lears are high performance and require lots of planning to keep ahead of the aircraft. I was type rated in five different corporate jets and the 60 was the most demanding and fun to fly. I sure miss them (I'm retired) and the view from Fl450.

What means ahead the aircraft’s?

​@@crare227Don't forget to pull up the landing gear before you are going so fast that it gets ripped off the plane.

My dad flew 23s and 24s for 3 years with the old EJA. He loved that aircraft!

I remember leaving Purdhoe Bay Alaska in the mid 70’s in a Lear Jet off the gravel runway. The pilot looked back and said, “I don’t like being on this runway very long so I am going to takeoff fast then make a hard right turn”. I was sitting in the couch seat. He took off and the g force laid me out on the seat. I remember trying to sit up and look into cockpit at the altimeter to see we had climbed to 10,000 feet and we were still in the turn and I was looking out the window opposite me down at the runway we had just left.

Not even a static take off ! Best toy I ever experienced - proud lr driver .

Sad that only a very few are left; you could hear those CJ610s 5 miles away, and lightly loaded capable of 8500’ pm climb to 25k. Only problem was fuel consumption and capacity; no matter what you were always short on fuel

OMG, it's like having a personal fighter jet !

"Why son, we light the other engine!"....my favorite part of F. Lee Bailey's book "Cleared For The Approach" where Lee has a testy exchange with a smart-ass tower controller.

This Learjet is actually 24B-197 N89ES operated by EBJ Aviation LLC, Veradale, WA.

Yeah, you weren't kidding, 'Caddy! That Lear shot up like a guided missile! That's some serious climb!

Man those Lears made a hell of a racket

...the good old days...smoke...noise...power...and speed...like getting in an elevator and going 80 mph straight up...

The 20 series were insane!!!

That’s insane!

Long Live the King! RIP, LearJet...

Excellent video and sound of the Learjet 24. Saludos

Not a bad job.. well inside the ascent performance window.. fresh engines sound good 👍

that was nuts!

This is awesome

freaking rocketships

PS: Regardless of whether it's a crazy climb, normal climb, slightly aggressive climb, who cares, it's a beautiful climb! And btw, Thanks whosyourcaddy for posting this~ :)

yeah, wow.......crazy ascention. probably like 5,000 - 7,000 fpm. those lears are insane. passengers ( if any...) probably flat on the floor! lol!

That's a happy Lear!

Awesome takeoff

Very nice. i bet the overspeed indiactors went nuts Eh? thank you for the upload

It's like an Alpha Jet... on one engine. The Lear 24 "bullet tail" is a classic, but you're never going to get respect from the Gulfstream snobs until you figure out a way to fit a GAU-4 20mm cannon into that diminutive airframe! :D

She was, and probably is, one of the best climbers in the world.

Noise restriction, is required by some airports as well as hours to operate. They have what it takes to do it and meet requirements, so they climb.

Even the end is normal for freight dogs on the way home. I have had initial climb clearances of 410 :) The controllers enjoyed them as well.

They're pinned to their seats no doubt.

Normal 23 climb is about 4,000 fpm but ive done 6,000 fpm no problem, fly a learjet 60 and that will hold 6,000 fpm all the way up to 43,000 feet

Can't believe a 24 exists that hasn't surpassed the airframe time limitation.

@JStryker7 that is a life limit at 10k cycles. You can continue to operate if you're willing to a ton of work and rework to the airframe. Airplane isn't worth the price of the continuous Airworthiness requirements.

Hey, we still have the Lear 60...

That is not a Lear 24F, it is an earlier model 24A or B perhaps, the "F" model had smaller square windows and 3 of them on the right side, and the absence of the ADF bullet on top of the vertical fin for later models like the D, E, and F..

Stephen Ruby...you're correct. The 24A & B had the big windows, no 24C, 24D was the first with the smaller 3 windows on each side. However, the 24B was the hot rod of all. Lighter and faster.

Ya I’m afraid I missed the crazy climb part.

Anyone know the climb rate? 2500fpm? My wife and my favorite thing to do in our Mustang is getting to cruise altitude of 40k feet in 16 minutes. Quite the rush every time! Like the Lear's but don't have any friends that own one. Hinted to wifey we'd have fun cruising N. America in a new Corvalis TTx, Birthday present maybe? She's partial to the Cirrus though.

Did I miss it ?.

thats a blue angles hornet style takeoff!!!!!lolz

Im sure they spilled their tea and dropped their crumpets....

Watch an MD 90 !

I don’t mind the noise, never minded the noise…. Even looked forward to hearing it.I actually enjoyed it very much. I would beg my parents to take me to the airport to watch and hear the early jets take off. What a stupid pursuit of some Luddite goal. You killed the American SST, boxed Concorde in a corner. And I surely never asked you to do this. So thanks, for ruining our legacy. I am so thankful
