Event To Benefit First-delivered Lear Jet Restoration
The event will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first Lear Jet Flight
Lear 23-003, the first Lear Jet ever delivered, will be a centerpiece in Wichita this weekend as the non-profit Classic Lear Jet Foundation holds an open house/dinner fundraiser to help pay for its complete restoration. Two other milestone Lears will be on display in the former Lear Jet delivery center on the Bombardier campus along with a collection of company memorabilia. The ticketed cocktail party/dinner will feature speakers who were closely related to the airframer, its history, and its aircraft. (Photo: Classic Lear Jet Foundation)
