Yikes, that's even more screws than the Sabreliner. :) I've seen that
pit online before, you were involved in the acquisition? I assume the
windshield was removed to be sold? I was crushed when I saw that the
motionsimulator folks (presumably) had gutted the pit. Granted, filling
out the rest of the cocpkit would probably have been prohibitively
expensive, but things like the side consoles and glareshield could have
been fabricated.

Before I got the Sabreliner, I was looking for a Lear. Now I'm glad to
have the Sabreliner for its extra space and added control
panels/systems etc, but someday I wouldn't mind doing a Lear pit. Maybe
everyone in the US will scrap out their 20-series birds after these
Stage 3 noise requirements go into effect.... ;)
