How long have you been a pilot? Have you flown a Lear? Are those over-rated? I used to watch them take off in Bermuda Dunes, CA....they're very LOUD! : )

Heh!, I'm not a pilot my friend, I'm an aircraft spark chaser.

However I have been very close to those who keep "warbirds" flying and have decades worth of stories of working on, flying in, and supporting warbirds and I am yet to achieve 50 years old!

I do, however work for a major business jet manufacturer for financial sustenance.

I have flown in a Lear and they are a rocket, however in the business jet arena are not the "biggest rocket". The biggest asset that "Lear" has is the most formidable "sleek" looks that they tote.

IMO, yes they are overrated.

I'm most impressed. Lears are beautiful planes, but I've not ever flown in any. That's the perfect word, rocket, as that is what they look like.

I've not heard this phrase before....what does that mean, exactly?
