Default Lear Jr.

Long but interesting article. Quite a character. CAUTION !! Some adult language.

That's his brother. John is a nutball of the highest order. Check out this interview with Art Bell from 2003: John Lear - UFOs and Aliens

"I took a total of 181 FAA (or designated check airman) check rides and failed 2. "
