(4K) Advanced Air Bombardier Learjet 75 Flight (SJC-HHR) 

Thanks so much! I'm right there with you, I can't stand when music drowns out a video. The point of this video is to put you in my seat.

I truly am sorry for ruining the video, I've always had a tendency to zoom in and out. I take full responsibility, and I'm probably almost done uploading altogether, so I won't keep making that mistake.

I like the “zooming in” to the cockpit to see the instruments. Great video! Keep up the good work. Tell the pilot to retract the spoilers after getting off the runway. Taxiing with “dirty wings” is a no-no. 🛩️

I was a huge fan of that show growing up! There seemed to be a lot of Learjet action in that series.

@@RyanBomar there was a lot of Learjet action on the series. Not only do I continue to be a fan of the show but I saw it as an introduction to business aviation and my admiration for the Learjet.

Thanks so much for watching, Yoda! I do love this flight deck.

No doubt!

@Raul Tiangson , it's about $14M.

She sure is!

I counted six different power levels as the spool up was happening.

they pop out and fold out in front of you, it was stowed so only the top half was visible.

The Learjet line is iconic, no doubt.

@Raul Tiangson list price is $13.8 million... but they have not been selling well in the last 3 or 4 years (Phenom 300 mostly to blame even though the Lear beats it on speed, payload, service ceiling but it's varible costs per hr/mile are also about 25% higher ) so there is talk of serious discounts and rebates to be had on a new one ☺

I remember seeing a 1966 Lear 24 pull up on a ramp...all the other pilots of cutting edge, modern planes, hopped out of the cockpit to see it up close and chat with the pilots. Suddenly the new Citation that they just flew in, or the new Gulfstream, and so on, were just not quite as cool when you share the ramp with a turbojet Lear.

@@RyanBomar I meant the 24, thats the original with the big cabin window.

Thanks so much, Sérgio!

Thanks so much for stopping by my little ol' channel, Julie! It was a great experience, flying on an aircraft this size is a nice change from the routine jets, like 737-700's.

@@RyanBomar No thank you Ryan! I love your channel and have been a follower for years. The aviation industry in America is amazing and much greater than what we have here. It's my bucket list to get out one day 😊👍

@@julzb7165, I've seen your name in the comments as long as I can remember, and that means everything to me. You'd love the spotting at LAX, if you do make it out this way. They have an area called Imperial Hill, and it overlooks nearly the entire airport. The heavy jets depart in front of you. They have benches up there, and encourage spotters to come by and hang out, even in this more stringent post-9/11 world.

@@RyanBomar That's fantastic Ryan. Your classic footage, of the heavies BUR/MIA etc has me in tears and really feeds my love for aviation. Spotters here aren't really encouraged but this is slowly changing. In Glasgow we had a terrorist attack at the airport and procedures were changed to the extent that the spotters are viewed with suspicion by the authorities www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/glasgow-airport-terror-attack now we have a strong spotters community and we are more recognized and welcomed. If I make it over I'll give you a shout for the best places for footage, 😎👍

Thanks for checking it out, Marcus! Good to see you popping up in another video. You've been so supportive. Thank you!

You are welcome. aircraft are still in my heart. Although I have done my ten years flying on the commercial side of the industry, it was corporate jets that I had the up close time see them here in Chicago when we had a corporate city airport. I love aircraft in general. You have a safe summer flying....@@RyanBomar

The plane was hopping back empty to Hawthorne after a charter into San Jose. It just so happened that two PC-12 pilots (who fly for the same parent company) got stranded at San Jose, due to a mechanical, so this became their ride home.

Thanks for stopping by, Moises.

Thanks for checking it out, man!

Agreed, she's a beauty!

You're the best! It's always great seeing you in the comments. The physical switch thing crossed my mind as well, it is a screen dominated flight deck, that's for sure. Oh, Learjets have always been known for an abundance of power, and the ability to pin you in your seat, all except for the 55.

Oh yeah, she's a kick in the pants.

Thank you, Patricia! From San Jose, California to Hawthorne, California, which is located near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Exactly! I like the size of the cabin, and if that plane can take you up to FL510, even better!

They would compete with JetSuite, not JetSuiteX (the airline). Yeah, this aircraft is charter only. It was a relocation flight, so the airfare question doesn't apply here.

Thank you! Flight time was 49 minutes, according to the flight tracker info in the description. As far as the cost, I think it was listed for $3,000 or $4,000...and then add my last minute Southwest ticket from Burbank to get to San Jose.

So damn true!

Thank you, my friend! If I had the money for a First/Business Class trip, I'd be there as soon as possible.

@@RyanBomar Ah that's no problem with Uncle Sam.te USD. good job there in the crew it's good good

Manila? If you're in the US, that's a long flight. You'll want a Challenger or a Gulfstream for that. Or if you're a real high roller, a Dassault Falcon or something. Not a Lear.

Kayloni Malcolm dont worry, I’m sure when I win the lotto I’ll have my Lear setup with tip tanks for the extra range.

@@flyingrv6 still wouldn't get you there

@@OOpSjm refuel refuel refuel.

I'm a Learjet guy...but my main preference is the 35/36 model, and earlier. That being said, I think the Phenom is a fantastic choice as a owner/operator, because the operating costs are much less, and if you're willing to deal with the extra time en-route, there's really no bad choice. I think it's safe to say that most pilots would prefer the Lear, because it flies faster & farther. So, if my answer is not confusing enough...enjoy :)

@@RyanBomar Thank you sir, for taking the time to answer my question. I enjoy your video's

The other way around, HHR-SJC would have your left wing toward the ocean as you're flying up the coast. We departed San Jose, as you can see, especially during the taxi shots.

Probably didn't knock them down after the landing... After landing check would have done that

From what I could tell, he was scrolling the autopilot altitude selector.

@@RyanBomar Appreciate the reply, I like the the light jets, as I'm not wanting that many people with me. The one with the Parachute really trips me out!

Hello there!

Beech and Hawker jets offer much more for the money.

I see what you did there :)
