eek! i trust you are all correct, given the N registration, but that series of aircraft did begin life as the HS 125 before becoming the BAE 125 (Dominie in RAF service) before being sold to the US manafacturer.  :D

hmm yeap that is an advantage.  :)  the closest i;ve ever been to one, is when i was flying an ATC Bulldog near BAE Warton. I was flying south back towards RAF Woodvale as the 125 flew in on my right hand side a few hundred feet above us.  :D

I think he was using 'Learjet' in the general sense, meaning all business jets; this term was used as such in the past.
