My new ride !!!

[Bill Huber]

Well its not really mine, but I want one, really don't know what I would do with it but I am sure I could find something.

The is one of the Fedex Corp. jets that stopped in at the hub yesterday with a Sr. VP and VP., they had a big meeting here.
The first one is cropped a lot on the top and bottom, it just look better this way.

Oh no, this is an old plane, its around 14 or 15 years old. We keep them for a long time, so we can keep the rates low.

Not that old... That is a Bombardier LearJet model 45. The 45 first flew in October of 1995. That particular aircraft (N14FE) is serial number 038, and was built in 1999.

Thanks for that info, that does tell me that the guy fueling the plane didn't know at all what he was talking about.

Well I just did the thing that I always tell people to do, a google search.
So I put in the tail number and bang there it it..... that is neat.

[Steelsun]

Well since I am a Private Investigator, and finding out info is what I do for a living, I just found it out.

But seriously, there's a Database/Site called Landings that is great for Aviation stuff at: http://www.landings.com/evird.acgi$pass*70317265!mtd*7!map*_landings/images/landings-topbuttons.map?100,10

Hi BIll, was the Lear at Alliance Airport, DFW or Love Field?
Also, do you like aviation photography? You should post that pic on Airliners.net....I think it should be a good addition.

Nifty shots.

Before I became a PI, I was a security officer and safety trainer while putting myself through college. My main job was at the Hilton at Hobby Airport, which at that time was the tallest structure around Hobby, and also at the end of one of the main runways.
I wish I was into photography at that time, since I had the key to the roof and fairlt unfettered access to shoot from up there if I wanted to.
(this was about 10 years ago)

Relayze, I work for Fedex and this was at our Alliance Hub in Fort Worth.
I love Airliners.net, the only problem is when I get started looking at all the different planes, the next thing you know 2 hours have gone by.

I may send it to them, I have to clear it with Corp. first.

This is one of my favorite plane shots that I have taken, from our tower as the storm was coming in. Taken with the old E-10
