MSFS Screenshots [2025]

I got it awhile back and agree, it’s a great little jet.

Complicated enough to be interesting, fast enough to cover some miles.

And fun to hand fly to boot.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything shy of maybe some of the RJs that fills its particular niche.

Thanks for the replies @PaulRix and @Deacon211

The LearJet is already sitting in my hangar and yesterday late evening I just sat in the cockpit which is cozy and busy and in VR actually pretty small!

I also realized that the checklist is a bit longer than what I am used to work with so will need to invest some time to RTFM and perhaps watch a video or two.

Exciting times ahead :slight_smile:

It’s not a big airplane. We had one in one of the hangars at my home airport (KEDC) just recently and I was surprised at just how compact it is…

Definitely! I rode in the back of an Air Force one and it was, erm, “cozy”…much tighter than out Marine Citation.

I’ve heard jokes about big pilots developing a permanent lean after flying it! :rofl:

Great skydiving jump ship, BTW. Can lift whatever fits through the door.

I am slowly getting comfy in the cockpit of the LearJet. Though during the first flight it flew faster than I was able to think :laughing:

It is a speedy jet for sure.

Ha! That was my experience too. I had flashbacks to being a student in the T-2 and being at 10,000ft before I got my kneeboard on! :rofl:

OK, today’s flight from Kahului to Lihue was not exactly a disaster :slight_smile:

Climbing out and leaving the Maui island behind

This thing is actually faster than my bandwidth :grimacing:

Over Honolulu

And that was the last screen I took because I wanted to nail down the 3 degrees descent towards the Napua fix (did not manage) and workload got a little too high in the cockpit.

I don’t want to hear your excuses for not managing to keep up with the airplane while doing the work of two pilots, equipped only with with a ‘Semi’ autopilot on day two of owning it… :rofl:

In the meantime…
…I am on my Caribbean island hopping.

This is something I wanted to do perhaps already in my FSX times but never really got to do it.

I am flying from the South towards the North and currently am in Barbados.

This screen is an interesting one - Pearls Airport in Grenada

It comes from a custom scenery and the two wrecked aircraft caught my attention. Googled a bit and discovered that this airport played a role in the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada. Interesting to learn something new.
