I had the opportunity to fly,part time, one based in IND. I really enjoyed that airplane and would love the chance to fly it again. Much better airplane than the Boeing I am currently flying.

Hill AFB museum has a Presidential Jetstar - the one used by "Lady Bird" Johnson! The exterior looks really good - I have not seen the interior but thier website says it is supposed to be redone as the persidential transport and open for diplay at some point.

I saw one up in Kalispell, MT a couple of weeks ago, it had a Mexican registry on it. Wait, would that be a "Hispanic-American" registry? You never know with the PC crowd these days... :roll:
