In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Learjet, Popular Culture
[edit]Thought I would add that little piece of info about how the learjet is mentioned in the song "Money". Main point is that it's pop culture. Bending Unit (talk) 05:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC) Bending Unit
- In Tinicum Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, there is a road named Twin Lear Rd., after the twin-engine Learjet. Bill S. (talk) 16:56, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Am I allowed to say "WTF" on Wikipedia? Can we remove this and the rest of the masturbatory statement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.149.178.41 (talk) 11:12, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Style of content
[edit]Particularly the first paragraph sounds as if it were straight from a corporate PR brochure. Can this be cleaned up and reduced (or maybe expanded?!) to just the facts, please? Stizzleswick (talk) 02:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Based on the Marvel?
[edit]According to the page linked in 'Marvel', it was a 60's era STOL -prop- aircraft, with roots in the 50s. How can the early lear designs be based on it if lear was started in the 1940s? Furthermore, this page says that jets were subbed in for turboshafts, but the Marvel only had one turbo-prop-engine (nitpicky, I know, but still). Of course, it makes mention of the ducting for the prop, but the timing is still screwy, especially since the article says Lear got the new design out in the early 60's, right around when the Marvel test bed was built, let alone the actual thing. Exactly what does the listed source say for this? Is it supposed to mean that Lear was originally going to go with a ducted-prop-driven-from-a-turbo design that was perhaps floating around in the 40s and (definitely) 50s? 76.251.164.216 (talk) 02:26, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- What aircraft do you refer to? Ruslik_Zero 20:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
I think the phrase "in the 40s..." is somewhat editorial in nature and probably doesn't belong here, for reasons beyond the timeline confusion it has obviously created. So, I'm going to delete it. JohnDWashington (talk) 21:11, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

timeline before Gates
[edit]if this aircraft is "based on" something else, could that something else be expanded somewhat? to what extent is it copied/elaborated on it? many years ago i met someone with paper engineer drawings og something very similar, and he confided that the jet nearly was called studerjet after some swiss designer/engineer. No idea if that is true, but seeing it has swiss roots brought up this memory. 193.143.240.100 (talk) 20:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Wichita Location Paragraph
[edit]The paragraph about the Wichita Plant stops, historically, with a 2013 article. It does not address what happened to the facility after the 2021 shut down. 65.175.40.146 (talk) 15:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
