Oh gawd, imaging having to listen to it. That'd give me the heebie jeebies.

As a pilot rated on Bombardier product I have my own opinions, the Lear 60 and its brother the Lear 45 have been in use for a long time in Australia, in fact Singapore Airlines used them to train their pilots at their Australian academy and of course that poor autistic man was flown home in a 60 recently from Japan with Careflight. Time will tell but flying into a known CB that was developing rapidly was in my opinon significant factor, not the aircraft type. We have 10 on the register here.

Oh absolutely agree that taking on that kind of weather is most inadvisable, but I also prefer aircraft that have a little more margin built into the design
