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.

The two prototypes only had two engines.

Great page on the history of the type here:

I see a jetstar everynight in CPS.

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:
