1960–1970: The Developing Market for Business Jet Aircraft
1994
JetStar Lockheed "gambled on the future and in November 1958 committed the [CL-329 JetStar] to quantity manufacture."1 Sales to corporate customers had been an objective from the outset and Lockheed did not reverse its decision when the Air Force opted to buy the smaller T-39 Sabreliner for its trainer and light transport purposes. While the prototypes were developed in Burbank, California, it was decided that production models of the JetStars were to be produced at Lockheed's Marietta, Georgia, plant. Efforts to sell the craft to corporate customers began as the plane was being developed.
