TIA! http://www.pilotspace.eu/lockheed-jetstar_555 The Lockheed L-1329 JetStar (C-140 in USAF service) is a business jet produced from the early 1960s through the 1970s. Although the Morane-Saulnier MS-760 flew earlier, the JetStar was the first dedicated business jet to enter service. It was also one of the largest aircraft in the class for many years, seating ten plus two crew. It is distinguishable from other small jets by its four engines, mounted on the rear of the fuselage in a similar layout to the larger Vickers VC-10 airliner, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings. *

In article , not my real pseudonym

Bob ^,,^ In the pic with the jet in camo paint, what's the purpose of those hand rails on the vertical stabilizer?...to keep from falling off when standing there? go Warriors
