Popular Post munzieb Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Lockheed Jet Star II Thought it was time to visit the “Way Back Machine” and look at the Jet Star II. Back in the mid 70’s and 80’s I worked as an aircraft mechanic at White Plains, NY (HPN) It was a major hub for business aviation aircraft 45 minutes north of NYC. One of the most familiar aircraft on the airport was the Jet Star I and Jet Star II. Companies like Xerox operated a fleet of these aircraft along with Reader Digest, Avco Lycoming and Texas Gulf Sulfur. It had 4 Honeywell 731 Turbo fan engines and fuel capacity of 18,000 lbs. with a range of about 2,500 miles. It could carry 10 passengers and 2 crew. It had inflatable leading edge boots on the wings for deicing. The original Jet Star I (P&W JT-12 Engines) was first produced in 1961 as part of a Gov program and the Jet Star II’s were produced from 1976 to 1979. A total of over 400 of both models were manufactured. The Jet Star I model has been retired but there are still some Jet Star II’s still flying.
