the road to my (your?) own LearJet

With a Lear, you can bang the cougar and her daughter. The daughter's into fighter jocks, but Lear captain's will do ..

So what? If that happens I use a little more fuel and I have still saved a fortune in getting my classic lear.

Ever priced a hot section on the old GE's? How about a windshield? Gear overhaul?

"Saving a fortune" buying an old run down run out Lear is an oxymoron.

Reminds me of a guy I knew many years ago, just had to have a King Air 200. He went out and bought an old model, got it cheap and was thrilled.

Then he took it in for several due inspections. His bill was north of $400,000 and not even out of the shop yet when he stopped the work. By the time he found a buyer it cost him close to $200,000 to sell the airplane.

But hey, life's an adventure.

Let us know how this works out for you. :rolleyes:

O.k., if that's how Galt wants to play, this thread needs some Lear Jet porn.:)

Let's spell it out.

If you own and fly your own Lear, you're going to be banging some hot ***** like this chick with the bodacious tata's below. You can be on autopilot and be rubbing your face all in her titties back and forth ... :drool::lol:

I haven't even bothered to read all of the posts in this thread, but the topic is quite humorous. This guy going from zero to hero (Lear typed) simply isn't going to happen.

There's just way too many obstacles. Gaining the experience and skill ecessary to pass a type ride in a 20 series Lear is challenge enough. (Based upon my experience - 3000 hours Lear PIC time - that's asking quite a bit for a low-time, non-professional pilot.) Back in the day, FlightSafety would issue a Learjet type on a Private certificate, limited to VFR, but, that was for foreign students who needed to be typed to act as SIC in some foreign contries. (US pilots need not apply.) I think that went away with the SIC types. Getting the type rating is just the first of all the checkrides, don't forget about the annual PIC checks (essentially, an ATP checkride) that are required for multi-engine turbojet aircraft in order to exercise the type rating privileges. But even if he's got the massive budget to do all of that, there is the matter of paying for the fuel and the inevitable day-to-day expenses just to keep the Jurassic jet flyable, let alone airworthy. Then there's the issue of finding qualified and current 20 series Lear instructors and examiners. They're not under every rock these days. An old jet is like an inkjet printer - you can get one for practically nothing, but they make there money on the ink cartridges. An old Lear is worth its weight in scrap aluminum and what ever time remains on the engines - which isn't much. The real costs come in the training required to achieve and maintain proficiency - those costs will be eye watering; Crew costs - who is going to fly with him? I don't know many Lear qualified copilots who are willing to pay for their own training then fly for nothing; Maintenance and parts - have you priced parts for turbine-powered aircraft lately? Fuel will be the least of his expenses. I can't see anyone pulling this off for less than $2000 per hour / $200,000 per year all in and that's not even considering insurance which I would assume to be unobtainable for him at any price. He may as well set a goal of buying one of the Space Shuttles, refurbing it and working a deal with one of the private launch companies to put it in orbit. He's got about the same chance of pulling it off.

As a fictional character, John Galt isn’t burdened with forming a plan of action to address the realities that define the non-fiction world we live in (as a creation of Rand’s imagination, he also wasn’t burdened with the realities of 1957). Speculating on his views is nothing more than a Rorschach of our own conflicted and ambivalent, economic views. Would John Galt be more disturbed by the plethora of governmental regulations, or the government’s bailout of too-big-to fail institutions? Would he have greater disdain for the “Occupy Wall Street movement, or the “moochers” who “earned” huge bonuses shortly after their banks were bailed out? I also suspect that, for both different and similar reasons, he would have very little respect for the realities and stark compromises within both US political parties.

It’s too bad that the set of solutions to today’s highly complex and intertwined economic challenges aren’t quite as binary as those of the fictional characters we create. So “Who is John Galt?” That’s a question for each of us to answer as we so choose.

Can you state this in plain language please it is like trying to read a notam, and where is my dictionary when I need it:yikes:

Congrats on getting a huge circle-jerk going. If you're so hot on this delusion, go take your writtens (PP/Comm, Instrument) and post your results. Show us an endorsed student license and a copy of your logbook entries up to that point. Until then, you're not a pilot, but a wet-dreaming troll.

If it's just chicks you want, try these:
1.) Get a convertible sports car...more practical than a boat, and maybe more fun.
2.) Get a boat
3.) Take Arthur Murray dance lessons; it's a kit delivered to your home. (This won't help if you have something like an arm growing from your forehead.)
4.) Get a puppy and take it into bars with you. Chicks go crazy over this. Everywhere, but you must have a good follow-through...the puppy just gets the fish following the boat.

Do not try this:
1.) Brandish a weapon and say, " Do what I say and no one gets hurt."
2.) Bring dates to airport to see your dismantled Learjet, covered in dust, and say, "Do you want to get in and have some slim-jims and cold macaroni?" Possible you might get pity sex, but probably not.

Keep-up the good work and Godspeed to you.

The puppy thing might actually work.

Women adore gay men. Make her think you're gay. Play that for a while then put the moves on her 'just to be sure...'
 
It's funny girls seem to like boats way better than airplanes, unless the girl is into airplanes, which many aren't. To impress a girl with your airplane it has to be part of the date, take her somewhere cool for dinner, but most girls aren't going to want to fly with some guy on the first date. If you are on date number 4-5, the airplane isn't what she likes about you anyway. ;)
My 20 year old son has taken a lot of girls out on the boat, it seems to work well for him, he's good looking and confident, which I think plays a bigger role. :D
My 19 year old son is in college on one of his fraternity brothers offers to "rent" his puppy to guys to play with in front of the house, chick magnet!! :D

The only way you're going to impress a girl with an airplane is if you have something with range and speed and can afford to take them to far off destinations.

But really, my $1,000 boat is better for having fun with girls than most airplanes.

Especially YOUR airplane. :rofl:

(Mental image of Jesse flying the Fly Baby and some poor girl hanging on for dear life to the tail...)
 
Boats and dogs are the winners by far. All my friends with expensive cars say those do nothing for them. When it comes to bars, dancing has always done it for me!:D

I am truly astonished at the animosity exhibited by so many here. Why is that? Are you threatened by someone with natural talent and forward thinking and determination? is it so unusual to find an individual of prodigious talent who has been known to conquer ANY type of plane in a sim which everyone knows and must concede is often more difficult than the physical device?
 
Keep the girl pictures coming. :D:D

One from you too Bobanna.

So you go from having absolutely no experience to being Gods gift to Flight Safety and SIMCOM?
 
You guys do realize that the newer "John Galt" with 6 posts and the OP ("JGalt") with 25 posts are two different usernames, don't you?

Possibly different people, both having fun, or possibly the same person mocking himself.

No, please, if you want an old Lear, buy one and rescue it, they are beautiful machines. You'll need a second pilot anyway, so may as well hire one and go through Flight Safety with them. You should be competent in the plane in about 300hrs if you don't fly anything else and put some work in with that talent (talent alone doesn't cut it). Just figure on a $2000hr/$200,000 a year budget for the program.

We need an aviation themed hot babes thread up in here. In the meantime ...

Don't confuse ridicule with animosity, and don't confuse reality with shameless self-aggrandizement. Your interest and ambition are welcomed and evoke interest in providing sound counsel; you have tapped into a forum filled with selfless (though opinionated), experienced, and accomplished pilots from many backgrounds. An august group with a distinct aversion to seeing others dig smoking holes. How much of that sim time is in your logbook? Nothing exactly wrong with flight simulator on the PC in your parents basement (it's a good way to learn and practice procedures), but it's not a substitute for real hands-on piloting. As others have pointed-out, if you want to learn piano you don't start with Mozart. A perfect analogy. What don't you see?

Finally, if it's about getting babes, I have one more: Put an ad on craigslist to see if you can rent a baby. Be careful how you do this (your prodigy-intellect will come in handy here) and get a really good story together. Done correctly, you'll put the puppy and boat guys in the weeds the first time you try it out. I'm sure others will contribute to this erudite discussion on the best way to play the baby "card." Oh, the suggestion of "pretending that you are a homosexual should be quite easy for you as well. I'd say it's cheap, easy, and doable...so give that a go, also. Good luck and keep us posted.

Word.

I got stuck with our two year old niece (a really cute little girl) and we ended up at a mall somehow with me carrying her around.

I had more hot women coming up to me talking and wanting to know everything more than you can shake a stick at. :yes:

If the OP wants to experience what it's like to hold altitude doing steep turns in an old Learjet all he needs to do is go out in his driveway, stick his arms straight out to his side palms up--those will be his "wings", then have somebody place an icecube tray filled with water on each palm--those will be his "tip tanks", then walk around his car without spilling a drop. Same thing.

Trolls are entertaining, if nothing else.

But it's great that he's aiming high. He probably works at McD's and could barely scrape 2 nickels together but is dreaming of owning a Lear. LOL

What's that saying... When you have to ask the price of anything... it's likely that you can't afford it.
 
I've been known to land a lear with multlple failed systems in a sixty knot cross wind. I'd like to see some of you try that. That's right go ahead and laugh but I am the one laughing at you. Some of you get it some don't. Thanks for the social pointers gucci pilot but no thanks. What kind of places do you dance at? :eek: Gucci seriously?

I would challenge any one of you to a competition in the sim on any plane. I am naturally gifted.

And Babboona no it's not about getting babes. I don't need any help there. This is about someone who truly loves aviation and respects one of the finest private jets ever made, the early lear jets. Don't you get that? What are your credentials anyway? i'd like to hear them.
