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 
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! 
Or a crick in their necks!
The infamous LearNeck 
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 
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!
OK, today’s flight from Kahului to Lihue was not exactly a disaster
Climbing out and leaving the Maui island behind
This thing is actually faster than my bandwidth 
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…
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.
Continuing my Caribbean trip.
When tweaking the iniBuilds Spartan, something got wrong on the electric side (I suppose)
All good in the end.
A quiz question: Can you see the aircraft?
Lone sailors.
And in the meantime having fun with the LearJet over Hawaii.
Having some fun flying a HEMS mission in the HPG H-145 with the Random and Anywhere mission mod. It’s pretty neat to see your crew doing their thing at the accident sites.
Another successful SAR mission, this time in New Zealand…
I see red smoke…
There wasn’t a decent landing zone, so my guys go down on the winch…
In the hover watching the medics do their thing.
After winching everyone back up, we headed to Wanaka hospital where a medical team were waiting.
Getting this mod set up correctly is a process, but well worth the effort if you own the H-145 and action pack.
Pretty cool 
So it is not the default career mode?
No, not the default campaign. I have stayed away from that because of all the complaints about it being buggy. This is the Random and Anywhere mod, which is specifically for the HPG H-145. It’s a mission generator that injects scenarios on the fly.
A typical mission consists of flying to an accident site, landing, letting your medics do their thing, and then flying the patient to a medical facility. It’s more fleshed out than that though. I did a SAR mission last night that involved picking up a mountain rescue team, then heading over to the search area, locating the missing person, landing, taking the patient to the local hospital and then flying the SAR team back to where they were picked up.
It was fun, and the mission lasted over an hour.
Here is the link to the mod. You need the HPG H-145 and Activity Pack (which gives you the HEMS/SAR version of the helicopter.

Last one… the scenery around Wanaka is stunning. I have the Milford Sound, Wanaka and Mt Cook sceneries by NZA Simulations, which gives me great playground for HEMS/SAR flying, and an appropriate livery for the area as well.
Stunning part of the world. I spent a lot of time down that way as a kid.
I need to get back for Wings over Wanaka. Brendon Deere is a family friend and I want to hit him up for a joyride
It most certainly is. I miss my annual treks down to Queenstown and Auckland. Last time I was down there was just before COVID turned our lives upside down.
