Flying the 7 twice7,at weights under 150K,on cold winter nights, it is a total blast to see the IVSI maxed out at 6000fpm. The flip side of the coin is a runway limited ,max weight take-off out of Vegas in high summer, when she sags upwards more than climbs out,and you use a good 12,000 feet of a 14,000+ foot runway generating enough lift to rotate.

Here's another vote for a Lear60. I actually prefer the control feel of the 55, but the added power of the 60 makes it my overall best pic.
BTW, for my choice, the 60 was competing with: LJ55, LJ35, B737, DC9-30-40-80, and various turboprops.
dream plane, you guessed it.................................

Oh thoughs were the days
Any transport (I've flown) at min weight has been a bast. The DA-20 was my first jet and seemed like a rocket ship till I checked out in the Lear 25
Now that was a kick in the ass
