Learjet 60
Learjet is an American business jet manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace. It is an improved version of the Learjet 55.
The Learjet 55’s modification to Model 60 resulted from an aerodynamics improvement program and a need to increase the capacity of the Learjet product line.

The Learjet 60’s maiden flight was on June 1991 and was introduced on January 1993. A new Learjet 60 costs $13 million, while used aircraft can be purchased for $7 million.
