This is the one general aviation company in Wichita I never worked for. Beech and Cessna are now both owned by Textron. Bombardier owns Learjet.

btw, Bill Lear developed the first car radio; also 8 track tapes.

I was truly surprised that they stopped making "Learjets". It was such an iconic and innovative brand.

Textron is a great company & I highly recommend there brand of private jets.

Textron made headlines recently for offering above market salaries and being a top employer for benefits.

They also recently signed a deal to sell 1500 Private Jets to NetJets,
Warren Buffets Private Jet Chartering company that offers shared ownership of Jets.

I'm surprised no one has Linked Pink Floyd.
