|  Re: time requirements for new Very Light Jets? I love original Lear 23/24s. Especially with the straight-turbojet CJ-610 engines that were thunderously loud.... especially when departing SDL at 0500........  |

Could hardly go anywhere without it being a fuel emergency. And when I was on a Jet Commander (same engines) I spent too much time reminding the captain what our fuel reserves and alternate airport options were (ususally zero and none). Lots of fun.  |

   | Re: time requirements for new Very Light Jets? You could get a type rating with just a private licence if you wanted to, and yes I've heard of it happening. But heck, what good is a jet if you can only fly VFR. Insurance would be astronomical too I imagaine. |
