I was thinking the same thing.....

Don't worry, I didn't work for beans or know the owner or anything like that. I did some freelance right seat riding in our old king air and the boss liked me, I feel like i got my job by earning it, and not by cuting out any high time guys by working for substandard wages. I guess it doesn't matter what your time is if the owner likes you. Anyway, I think that it is great to get my teeth cut on the 24, what a great airplane and I feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity.

Cy45,
Don't worry about it. I'm sure you were the most qualified for the job at the time. Best of luck in your career.

But the 24D was more all around fun

You are correct about that!

Hi!

I saw something like this at the GFK AFB. It was a KC-135R. The R models have the high-bypass CFM-56 engines, like on the newer -737s and the small Airbuses.

On the KC-135R, if you were light weight, you could take off with a GTOW of only about 115K (MGTOW was about 340K). You had about 90K lbs. of thrust with the CFM-56s.

This guy was doing an airshow at GFK. He was very light, and flew a high-speed pass down low. At midfield, he pulled it up into about a 75 degree pitch angle. He held that angle until he leveled off at 15,000'! Psycho!

An F-14 did the vertical climb thru a low overcast followed by a vertical descent into the terrain some years back - I think it was in Tennessee.



No LrJet can climb anything like any of the F-teen series......I don't care how lightly you are loaded. ( must've just been Mil-pwr departures )




.

It was BNA, the kid was showing his parents a max performance takeoff. Seems like I remember 800 overcast. Anyway, his family watched the entire event unfold. Took his WSO with him, sad, very sad. There are reasons for rules. Don't be the guy who gets a rule written for himself.

 

[erj-145mech]

Of course, I've done 7500 fpm in a WSCoD with only 2 people in the back.

We were doing a repo flight in a 145ER from TYS to JAX about 0200 one morning, and on departure, ATL center gave us an unrestricted climb to FL330. The VSI's went all dashes, and the mode "C" couldn't keep up with the climb rate. Two pilots, three mechs, about 200 lbs of tools, and 8000 lbs of gas.

 

[kilroy]

I have made it to FL400 in less than 10 minutes in the 60. If you do the math, thats more than 4000 fpm average. We weren't MGTOW but we weren't all that light either. That airplane is really something else.

All this talk about the 60 is getting me excited we are getting a 60 next month going to school for it in Feb sounds like a hell of an airplane

 

[anchorman]

You'll love the 60. Three clicks and let her go!

10K/min through 30K? 3 mins to 30,000ft?

lots of 25 time here and that sounds like a bit O' hangar talk.

 

[chperplt]

That's slow... I just did an Atlantic crossing at M0.85 & FL450... And we were heavy, that was part of a nearly 11 hour flight...

My ass gets sore after 2 1/2 hours.....

 

[:-)]

I'll second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gulfstream 200]

I agree with Capt. hard to sell long range planes at .76-.78 anymore..

GV/Glex's need to right to FL410, cruise .85+ and go 11+ hours. Even LRC shouldnt fall below .80 to get 13 hrs...

Heck, even the new Falcons are .85/6000 mile airplanes.

fast is good.

now...a 13 hour ass? thats another issue.

 

[cyork25]

here is another question

I have never flown a 60, but I was wondering which climbs harder, the 24 or the 60?

 

[HawkerF/O]

24 will whip a 60. It has to climb like that in order to get high so it won't guzzle all that gas. Most light #2 at the hold short line.

 

[HawkerF/O]

Are we still talking about flying?

 

[Workin'Stiff]

You jet drivers ain't got nothin' on me... Saab 340 - A model, no pax, light on the gas, 160 kts, five hundred.... and FIFTY fpm through 10,000. :beer:

 

[cyork25]

yeah, we light it taxing out, so the 24 is the hardest climbing airplane i am likely to fly?

 

[xrated]

Most lears will out climb most, but get um in cruise and they are a speed bump to most!

 

[xrated]

I wish I flew that plane...
however, I dont fly anything close to it just yet...see the a/c I've flown.

Thank Nike for that paint job they call "orange orca."

As a Jetta owner myself, I'd say its faster than the airplanes you've flown. LOL.

P.S. I like your photography skills. Got one of your shots hanging in my "I love myself" room.

 

[cyork25]

And then pass the CE-750 that's on the ground at the local Citation Service Center.

So you own a Jetta and you're Ragging on someone about what airplanes they've flown, at least you're a cocky gay man

 

[FL350]

No lears aren't the fastest around but I must say I think all around they are the most fun. They really are just good flying aircraft.

Hey now, jettas arent gay. The babes flock to me like a swarm of bees....sometimes

 

[G4G5]

I had the opportunity to fly a new Falcon50ex. That is a sweet sircraft and fast down low. If I remember correctly 360+ kts at 10,000 feet.

 

[TXDA2000]

Hey CYork25. When you gonna come south a bit and see me.

I'm waiting for you to get that Extra dusted off and come and play.

24 is definitely the hardest climbing you'll likely fly.

G200, LR25D with 1200 lbs of fuel, two pilots, 3000 to FL310 in 2:58. I'm not bragging, cause I think Lears suck, but I witnessed it first hand from the yoke.

They are very nice, they are about the nicest hand flying aircraft around, I have about 2,500 hours in 50EX's... But by the end of the year won't be flying them anymore...

370 KIAS is Vmo at 10,000ft. 350 KIAS is Vmo at Sea Level... .86 is Mmo...

What did you do? Glide to a landing???

Departing in a 20 series Lear with 1,200 lbs of fuel????? I used to plan to LAND the Lear 35 with 1,500 lbs remaining, and that thing sipped fuel compared to the 20 series...
