Julien Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Learjet 25 N121EL, Serial No 10. Built in 1968. For the first 23 years she used as a business jet for companies such as Gates and Waste Management Inc, then in the early 90's she was converted to carry freight. Owned by AirNet Inc based out of Columbus Ohio she was one of 41 Learjet 25's that carried light freight, and packages around the US. In 2004 she was bought by Kingston University to be used as an instructional airframe for aircraft maintenance degree courses. She is also used to give aero design students an insight into aircraft systems and flight controls and maintenance courses run by Kingston College. The scheme she carries is a 9/11 commemorative scheme added to a number of AirNets aircraft, although we covered the Stars and Stiripes on the fin with the Union Flag and added the Uni name on the nose. She is kept in airworthy condition although her CofA is now expired, but all electrical and hydraulic systems are regualarly run, including operation of the flaps, spoilers, thrust reversers, when on jacks they also cycle the undercarriage, usually after weight and balance checks have been carried out.
