The Learjet 25 was the third generation of Bill Lear’s eponymous business jet.  First flown in 1966, the Model 25 was stretched for additional passengers and had a service ceiling of 51,000 ft.  A drag chute is fitted as optional equipment on some Learjet 25 aircraft.  Clay Lacy landed the first Learjet in Los Angeles in 1964 and later went on to establish Clay Lacy Aviation as the first private jet charter company in the western United States.  Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
