Behind the Wings

The Learjet Legacy

Season 3, Episode 4 of 4

For nearly sixty years the Learjet came to define a new class of luxury airplane - the business jet. Now, the last Learjet ever is being assembled at the Wichita-based production facility in "The Aviation Capital of the World". Speaking with aviation icons past and present, we get an intimate look at a company that shaped aviation as we know it today. From its record-setting performance achievements to its outsized role in popular culture, the Learjet's place in history is here to stay, long after the production lines shut down.
