Bombardier Learjet 55

Twin-engine business jet nicknamed the Longhorn, with a larger cabin than earlier Learjets and NASA-developed winglets. It first flew in April 1979 and production deliveries began in 1981. Later 55B and 55C versions added a glass cockpit, ventral Delta Fins and range improvements, and 147 Learjet 55s were delivered in total.
