Though it’s not as overtly revolutionary as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) or Safe Return enabled by Garmin Autoland on Cirrus’ SF50 Vision Jet, the reimagined flight deck in the new SR G7 and other improvements make a more immediate impact—because pilots benefit from them on every flight, from the moment you press the start button.

But growing up amid the roar of propellers and jets had planted in me the seed of a lifelong love of all things aeronautical. It could carry a crew of two and four passengers at a cruise speed of 175 knots, or about 200 mph, at a service ceiling of more than 19,000 feet. The very same craft is now enshrined in the Steven F.

Baby boomers will remember a time when the sight of any small business jet would be described as a Learjet. However, nothing lasts forever, and sadly, the last Learjet was delivered to longtime Lear operator Northern Jet in late March 2022. and catered to Hollywood’s rich and famous jet-setters. 1 hit song, “ You’re So Vain.”

VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. Then the CFI slowly brings the weather down.

When it comes to private jets, the industry feels the need for speed. In just the past few years, weve watched two of the fastest private jets in history take to the skies – the Bombardier Global 8000 and the Gulfstream G700. But the G700s reign as one of the fastest private jets will be short-lived.

For example, a pilot of a light twin aircraft, flying at a medium altitude with a tailwind could easily have a groundspeed in excess of 200 knots. Thus, traveling at over 3 nautical miles (NM) per minute, a pilot may not have enough time to receive and decipher a pop-up TFR based on the 100 NM look-ahead and a 10-minute transmission interval.

We routinely taxi at 1200 rpm due to the low spray…[we] can cruise at 10 knots” in displacement mode, something a Goose can’t do. Early on a speed restriction of 130 knots was applied as a flutter issue. This was resolved on the kit version and led to cruising at 50% power and 120 knots, which proved to be the Gweduck’s sweet spot.

I glanced over my shoulder to see our loadmaster scramble up the cargo bay’s side panels, then cling to the ceiling, barely clear of slashing horns. Landing on a short field required full flaps and the slowest possible safe airspeed, a couple of knots above stall. That was about 89 knots, as I recall. Load to pilot!

Despite those ground clearances, we found that the ceiling above our home airport was high enough to accommodate VFR departures with airborne clearances. We flew at 7,000 feet with as much as a 30 knot tailwind. Two jets and one piston aircraft were queued up to depart from the same runway when we arrived.

On paper, the fastest fighter jet of 2025 is the Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-25, which sets a pace of Mach 2.83. In terms of widely-used, theater-ready fighter jets, the F-15 Eagle takes the crown. However, in their day-to-day operations, the jets tend to fly significantly slower. It is followed by its sistership, the MiG-31.
