Lear jets have been one of the world's most iconic private and corporate jets for decades. The U.S. Air Force picked up on this early on and adopted the Lear 35 for VIP movements. At the time (1984/1985), there were nowhere near as many VIP jets on the market as commercial off-the-shelf acquisitions, and the LJ35 was a state-of-the-art machine. While it is an aging airframe, the C-21A still proves a worthy airframe for the mission and is used globally for VIP movements to this day.
The biggest challenge faced by all operators of aging aircraft is breakage. You cannot avoid it. Aircraft that are three decades old will break down from age and use. Also, the availability of common parts is beginning to dry up because these jets are largely unused by the civilian market since later models have replaced them. The OEM focuses on creating parts for the later models, which are in higher demand, so it takes a skilled emissary to source high-demand parts for the C-21 fleet.
The best hedge of defense against unplanned delays from the aircraft comes in a readily available supply of parts so that you can get them when you need them. Instead of wasting your time sourcing the parts and jumping through hoops to get it, let Greenwood Aerospace take care of it.
