III,
I flew early models of the Lear. (except for the 23) The 25 was a bit of a tub. We had two 24's. One had the Mk 2 wing with the small engines that was fairly sedate. The other 24 had the larger (-6 ?) engines with the original straight wing. OMG! What a screamer. We never gave passengers the choice. It was always an airplane ride :-)
If memory serves, lightly loaded we could do sea level to 410 in about 12 minutes.
