Iv'e decided to retire from the airlines for a while do do some Corporate Jet flying. ;D ;D ;D Considered to be the first Corporate Jet available was the Lockheed Jetstar 1. I believe it was first used by the USAF and then also introduced into the civil market. This model is from Dee Waldron and flies and handles beautifully. Great job Dee!!!! The USAF Jetstar 1 The Generals have just arrived at Wright Patterson AFB Just passing Mt. Rainer, WA. That was a close call ;D ;D ;D A visual approach to RW 36L at Greenville, Miss. US. Depating New Orleans Naval Air Station Enroute to Cape Canaveral, Florida. Herman

Thank you Klaus.
Don't know if TWA was the only airline to operate the Jetstar. A corporate aircraft with 4 rear mounted jet engines was quite unusual. I think that the Jetstar was really meant to be for the US Air Force. I wonder if the Vickers Company had their eye on that when they designed the VC 10???

for those interested in the JETSTAR ....
Our very own Dee WALDRON modelled the JETSTAR for the original HJG.
Tony, Nick, and myself opted not to carry the JESTAR forward when we rescued HJG back in March/April 2006, but, we did authorize Jim HALINDA to upload it, to FLIGHSIM.COM (I think it was), complete with all of the original HJG textures, the panel, and a soundpack which Benoit and myself devised for it.
Jim might like to provide a precise filename for this package .... since I don't have time to do so .... OR .... folk interested might like to just search FS.COM targeting as follows ....
JETSTAR
or
JESTSTAR HJG
or
HJG
So far as I'm aware this project is FS2002/2004 compatible "ONLY".

In case anyone is interested, I did some research when working on that repaint, and N711Z was a Lockheed demonstrator that was doing a promotional world tour in April 1964. During this tour they stopped in Northholt, England for a day or two to participate in the filming of Goldfinger. A couple of 'Auric Enterprises' decals were slapped on for filming.
So the paint scheme, minus the 'Auric Enterprises' decals, is what that JetStar wore on its promotional tour. I also found several magazine advertisements for Lockheed back from that period that featured this very same aircraft.
I like to think of it as Lockheed's house colours of the time, although in reality they had quite a few variations in scheme and colour on their Jetstar demonstrators.
The one thing I didn't get right is that the registration numbers should be in the same red as the pinstriping.
Regards,
Jim

The Jetstar was originally going to have a pair of RR engines. The first airframe built had this setup, and the Air Force was going to buy it as long as the engines were built in the USA. Lockheed had major problems with the FAA and their plan to build the engines under license in the US. When the AF started wavering and looking at other aircraft (like the North American Saberliner), Lockheed did the switch-er-oo to the 4 baby P&Ws. The JT12 was pretty much a hair-dryer on vitamins and that's why it took 4! Dee
