ABOUT THE AIRCRAFT:
The Swiss FFA P-16 jet fighter, cancelled by the federal government in the late 1950's caught the eye of Bill Lear who saw in it the basis for a twin jet executive aircraft. He initiated the design in November 1959 and formed the Swiss American Aviation Corporation. By 1962, Lear moved the project to Wichita, Kansas and renamed the organization the Lear Jet Corporation. The prototype made it's first flight on October 7, 1963. The Learjet 23 was delivered on October 13, 1964.
Weights: Empty-2790kg (6,150lb). Max TO-5670kg (12,500lb).
Type: Twin turbojet engine executive transport seating 5-7 passengers

CREATING THE AIRCRAFT:
I had already created the Learjet 35A without reflective textures. It is available on my website only. I took a step back to do the Lear 23. Building the modle from scratch, I incorporated reflective textures and the usual animated parts. It's nice to fly. So have a nice flight. Happy landings!

INSTALLATION:
Unzip the file lear23-1.zip to a temporary folder. Move the Lear's folder to your Aircraft folder in FS9. The panel is the default Lear panel so you should have all of the guages already. Finally, move the contents of the effects folder to the effects folder in FS9. If you already have the lighting effects installed, it's not necessary to overwrite the files that's there.
