Gates Learjet 35A

Bavaria Fluggesellschaft

 

Learjet 35A-354, seen here a few days after delivery, spent 17 years on the German register, however got less spectacular colours a few years before being sold in 1997. The plane, finally registered in Mexico as XA-IRE, was tragically lost in November 2023, when it overran the runway on landing at Cuernavaca and crashed down a steep embarkment.
