Lear 55 guys

Bored in Texas, just woundering what everyones 55 weighs in at, my B.O.W. 13,800.

Wow that's a fat 55. They heaviest we ever had was 13724. Lightest one we have now is 13447 and the heaviest is 13678. Why's yours so heavy? It really limits you with pax/bags with the MZFW.

yeah I knew it was a little heavy, plus we have an aft fus. tank as well, what's everyone else at?

 

[bravo]

Our 55 is 13,500. We also have the aux. fuel tank. Pretty much useless for our type of flying. Would rather have the baggage space.

I flew 55-025 years ago and it weighed 13400 if I remember correctly. Back then, she was pretty well equiped. Dual Collins FMS-90's (dinosaur) and pretty much dual everything else.

Unfortunately, I'm now stuck in fifi ,[sarcasm] the worlds smartest airplane.[/end sarcasm] I do miss the old steam gauge Lear. However, the Lear can't match fifi's environmental system.
