Hello,

Does anyone know what happened to John's lear jet?

Wyatt,

John's Lear is still owned by Windstar Aviation Corp. The company used
to be based in CT, but the jet was re-registered on Nov. 5, 1998 and
now shows a Denver address. Perhaps John's brother Ron has some
interest in it, but that is only a guess on my part. The Gates Lear
Jet Model 35 is a 10-seater 2-engine turbo that was built in 1975.

I too have wondered what happened to John's Lear Jet, I assume it has
either been sold or is for sale, since the estate has to be split 3
ways, and why would they keep an expensive plane like that, if no one is
going to be flying it???????
considering the up-keep, hanger rental fees, not to mention the
insurance on a plane like that. JMHO

When my husband and I were in Aspen last October, we spoke to John's
brother Ron, and he told us that the Learjet would have to be sold. Ron
is not a pilot and as far as I know, has no interest in flying. Things
could have changed by now though.

When I took my flying lesson at Aspen Aviation last August, my instructor knew
John's pilots. He said the entire business (the Lear Jet was set up as a
charter business) was sold and John's pilots all got to keep their jobs.

You can get more info about JD's LearJet N31WS "WindStar One" on my John Denver
Aviation page at:

http://members.aol.com/nevadasky/jdfly.html

When you get there, just click on the photo of the Lear. There are many photos
of the Lear in both the old & new paint scheme.

I hope you like it.

Wyatt,

I'm very certain that it became a part of the estate and was sold.

While working at Centennial Airport (Denver) this past Spring, I noticed a
familiar tail # on a parked Lear. It also had "Windstar" inscribed on the
side. I know there are a lot of 24s and 35s (Lear models) out there, but at the
time I believed it might have been John's. Don't know who owns it now, but
while I had my head inside looking around, a group of rather well-to-do
businessmen/party guys said, "excuse me", then hopped aboard. That's the only
time I ever saw it out on the field.

John's lear was sold to a company Pueblo Co. And later crashed in a snow storm while trying to take off. So John's lead is now sitting in a junk yard in Pueblo co.
