I might just write in a mention of refueling to CMA. I don't actually mention the 35 by name, but I feel an affection for the jet since both my husband and father in law and bro in law worked on them in Wichita years ago. (From Engineering to IT to production, if you can believe it. We had it covered.) Awesome. I might just write in a mention of refueling to CMA.

The runway length there of 1,550 metres (5,095') is just about sufficient for a Learjet 35 to land, though taking off again may be an issue at an elevation of over 8,000 ft.. The bigger problem is the Learjet's range of 2,200 nm. The shortest (great circle) path from Cambridge to Granby is over 4,000 nm so I would expect the plane to run out of fuel somewhere off the north coast of Quebec. Your pilots might want to consider landing on Baffin Island to refuel. By Grand County Airport, I’m assuming you mean Granby.

They're on a Lear Jet Model 35 or equivalent, so I'm sure they could land and take off there fine. Now I'm just "stretching the runway" a bit on the landing side--Grand County Airport in Colorado--but oh well... Excellent info, thanks!
