Bombardier Learjet 60
The Learjet 60 succeeded the Learjet 55C as the brand's midsize model, gaining FAA certification in January 1993 with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics. About 316 were built before the Pro Line 21-equipped 60XR replaced it in 2007. Its 5 ft 9 in cabin height and roughly 2,400 nm range come with a long takeoff run.
In short: The Bombardier Learjet 60 is a Midsize Jet with a range of 2,405 nm, a cruise speed of 466 knots and room for 6 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $1.2M–$2.4M and costs roughly $2,400 an hour to operate (estimate).
