The story
The Learjet 60 is a stretched Learjet 55 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines and the biggest cabin of any Learjet. It was also the last of the classic line: its wing traces back to the original Model 23, with winglets where the tip tanks used to be.
At maximum weight, a Learjet 60 can climb to 41,000 feet in about 18.5 minutes.
