        The Learjet looks so amazing, I’ve never been in a plane or a jet of any sort, but if I were to ever fly in one, I would want it to be a Learjet!!

        I think it is so cool how aircrafts have advanced and how strong they truly are. The Learjet sure was fun to learn about.

        Wow, I had no idea how strong the wings of a Learjet are. No wonder they are used in the military.
