The Lockheed L-1329 JetStar (C-140 in USAF service) is a business jet produced
from the early 1960s through the 1970s. Although the Morane-Saulnier MS-760 flew
earlier, the JetStar was the first dedicated business jet to enter service. It
was also one of the largest aircraft in the class for many years, seating ten
plus two crew. It is distinguishable from other small jets by its four engines,
mounted on the rear of the fuselage in a similar layout to the larger Vickers
VC-10 airliner, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings.
