Ya know, that is one sweet thing about the hs125, we were able to get into some tinya$$ strips cause of that.


Hawker or a 65?? tough choice.

I'm not sure what you mean. I operated a 65 for a year and our speedbrake was screwed to the fuselage. All we had was spoilers on the throttle quadrant.

The 65 that we operated had to be modified to use the speedbrake. It's installed, but not activated. There is (was) a kit from Sabreleiner to do this.

I can see how that might be fun. If I remember it was about 3' x 3'
Must have dropped like a rock!

It's also nice to have in icing conditions. Provides the extra drag you need to compensate for for keeping the power up.

And yes with the speed brake open, flaps 10 and gear down we could do some pretty impressive decents into the airport we operated out of just west of Jackson, Wy.
