walmart canada is disposing of of its both learjet 35 and replacing with 1 lear45 2 crew are shortly out of work

http://walmartstores.com/Video/?id=792 Wal-Mart Aviation video from the good times!!!

http://www.boston.com/business/articles ... kansas_hq/

I had heard they were laying off pilots in the US, they have a King Air 200, 8 Lear 31A's, 8 Lear 45's and a Global Express.

Wonder if they will just transfer one of their US Lear 45's up here. I think they have some aircraft in South America as well.

[GARTHRYAN]

adding another 45 to the fleet here at LAS 45-408 C-FVSL coming at the end of March. All of our 45's are XRs

[robbreid]

Can a Lear 45 be upgraded to a Lear 45XR??

I ask because all Lear 45's built starting somewhere in early 2004?, are all XR's,

and I note LAS Lear 45-088 is a 2000 model 45 C-FLLH - so is this Lear getting

traded in for your new Lear 45XR?

[wallypilot]

Yes they can, and I believe that the entire LR45 fleet worldwide has been upgraded. GARTHRYAN would know better, though.

Apparently Google is my friend;

Private Jets Guide: Lear 45XR Retrofit

In the early months of 2004, Bombardier began offering Learjet 45 owners the option of upgrading their aircraft to the Learjet 45 XR model. The retrofit is offered as a series of service bulletins that upgrade an in-service Learjet 45 to the Learjet 45 XR variant. Dozens of private jets have been upgraded since the retrofit option became available - but what does the XR retrofit really add to the aircraft?

The most readily apparent change between the Learjet 45 and Learjet 45 XR is the enhancement to the engines. Newer TFE731-20BR engines replace the older TFE731-20 engines used on the Learjet 45 private jets. The change in engine doesn’t impact maximum thrust or engine inspection intervals. The benefits of the upgrade are actually driven by a change in the engine flat-rating which allows the engine to produce more thrust under demanding conditions where thrust was limited on the older engines. Therefore, although the upgrade increases climb and speed capability on a standard day, the benefits are most apparent when considering operations under challenging conditions.

For example, the XR retrofit dramatically improves hot and high runway performance. At sea level and on a standard day the Learjet 45 and Learjet 45 XR require approximately the same runway length (when taking off at the same weight). When the runway is elevated to 5,000 feet and the outside air temperature increases to 25 deg C. (77 deg F.), at a takeoff weight of 20,500 lb the Learjet 45 uses 7,275 ft of runway. The Learjet 45 XR needs only 5,565 ft to take off under the same conditions. Operating out of a very short runway, where operators of private jets are often forced to off-load fuel in order to lower aircraft weight and shorten take-off distances, the improved field performance of the XR can translate into a considerable range advantage. For example, out of Aspen on a 68 deg F day, the Learjet 45 XR can fly 1,000 nm further than the Learjet 45 with 6 passengers.

In addition to runway performance, the XR upgrade impacts speed and climb characteristics. In fact, under standard ISA conditions at a typical mid cruise weight of 18,000 lb, the Learjet 45 XR can cruise up to 8% faster than the Learjet 45 at FL470, and 4% faster at FL450. But again, the benefit of the upgrade is most noticeable under the elevated temperatures seen in the U.S. and Europe during summer months, and year-round in many areas such as Africa and the Middle East. For example, the Learjet 45 XR can cruise up to 19% faster than the Learjet 45 under ISA+15 deg conditions, and can climb to cruise altitude much faster than the Learjet 45.
Finally, the XR retrofit kit is sold with an increase to MTOW. The 1,000 lb weight increase significantly increases useful load under all operating conditions and is so popular it is often bought as a stand-alone service bulletin. For example, with full fuel, the Learjet 45 XR can carry 1,575 lb of payload and the L45 can carry 575 lb of payload. In layman’s terms, the Learjet 45 XR can carry an additional 1,000 lb of either people or baggage when the tanks are full.

The Learjet 45 XR retrofit offers the enhanced performance of the Learet 45XR to current owners of Lear 45 private jets. The speed and climb improvements under typical conditions are substantial, but the retrofit will offer the most value to owners that frequently operate in hot and or high environments, or out of short airfields. For those who plan on keeping their Lear 45 private jets for a while longer, the $575,000 XR retrofit may be well justified.

Well in that case, this is LAS's 6th Lear 45XR in service - so with 5 Lear 85's on order - are they going to order a 6th!!!!!!

LAS is the epitome of what I would want from a Corporate Jet Service - any chance of expanding???, I mean LAS has done an amazing job of building the ultimate in Corporate Jet Charter in Canada - first class in everything - if they were to expand to Toronto for example;

The sky would be the limit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know money is hard to come by in Canada, we have all these charter companies in Toronto - chartering customer airplanes, or if they are the same type - they are old aircraft!!!, LAS is as good as it gets - why doesn't someone in Toronto copy them - they would rule the skies out of Toronto. Period.

[Cap'n P8]

Anybody at LAS able to PM me about the company? I was just laid off from Bombardier flying the 45.

Cheers,

Andrew

Wish this were true, but I know of at least two AR models still flying in Canada.

Nimbo. (I've flown them both)
