No way you fit 3 people + enough fuel to go anywhere in a Mirage.

We took off a few weeks ago CVG to MIA 8 passengers full fuel straight to 450 no problems they were little dudes and not alot of baggage we were right at max takeoff. Funny thing is I've always thought of Lear pilots as over confident and full of themselves all because of a stupid Lear jet now I understand why the aircraft is a blast to fly.
Is the Lear 31 Stage 3?
