This is the forum to share your older or theme-based aviation photos, under the same conditions as the parent forum. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). |

Sorry, I have no idea...tomh wrote: The black line on the fuselage opposite the props, is that to make it easier to detect prop leaks, or to make them less visible?
For sure my favourite among biz jets, old and new! But did you know that an even better looking biz jet could have preceded it? Not from Lockheed, but from Martin. They once proposed a passenger version of the B-57 Canberra to the Air Force. Unfortunately the Air Force wasn´t interested and the civil biz jet market was still non existent... What a shame...tomh wrote:Lockheed's 4-engine entry into the executive jet field, the L.1329 Jetstar, was a common site at airports around the country, if not the globe, in the 1960s and 1970s. It is pretty scarce today. I photographed this one at Reading, PA on 5 June 1974
