I flew the 1900D for a bitSorta, 1900C that was based on the King Air 300. Beech stretched it to accommodate 19 pax for commuter airline service.

Dad with Lear 35, 1980
View attachment 7752297
Lear 35, sn 35-301, April 1980. Has about 20hrs. TT on airframe and engines.
I loved my TC with garrets. So much fun.35s aren't THAT loud with TFE731s. Any 20-series with pure turbojets, on the other hand....
(still quieter than a Turbo Commander)
Nope, those are Garrett TFE731 engines with fans. You would be thinking of General Electric CJ610’s found on LR24/25 and T38‘s (same engine but with burner).Ahhhh....back before hush kits. Converting cash to noise in a beautiful way!!
I flew a 840 (690C) as well as the 690B, and 690A-10T and taught those airplanes in the school house. Also flew the Shrike Commander.35s aren't THAT loud with TFE731s. Any 20-series with pure turbojets, on the other hand....

Well my experience around Lear's was minimal and in my adolescent years so I have no idea on engine/model combinations. But 24 sounds right. A bit smaller than the 35 pictured. I do remember it was substantially louder than the citation owned by the timber company 2 hangers down....and I loved it!!..lolNope, those are Garrett TFE731 engines with fans.

That's right off the front of St. Marks, if I'm not mistaken. Go far enough forward on deck and you'd see the Bridge of Sighs.Some military aviation:

Amazing sight, not one that you'd probably ever see today.
Ours didn't have an electrical system either.View attachment 7752365
Aeronca 7AC that I used to teach in. One of my students piloting. This airplane had no electrical system. 1979
