RARE 1965 Lear Jet 23 N477K - World's Only Flying LJ23

Here we have a true rarity; the only flying Lear Jet 23 in the world. This jet is special in the fact it has the only Learjet 23 FAA approved Stage III hush kits in existence, making it legal to fly here. It also holds the honor of having flown Brigitte Bardot to her wedding to Gunter Sachs in Las Vegas on July 14, 1966. It is assigned serial number 23-036. In this video you will get a walk around, plus an inside look followed by its departure back to its home airport. I’d like to give a very special thank you to the owner / pilot for making this possible. It’s such a treat to have an iconic aircraft made available for video. I intend to preserve every bit of N477K that I can with this video as I try to do with all the classic aircraft I put on this channel. Enjoy a few solid minutes of first generation business jet footage!
