[edit] History
The first flight of a Learjet 29 took place on 24 August 1977. The Learjet 29 is a variant of the Learjet 28, with the number of passengers reduced, in order to increase the range. Commercially unsuccessful due to the engines been too loud and fuel consumption been too high.
Only four Learjet 29 were built before the model was replaced by the Learjet 35. All four model 29s were still in use as of 1998.
