This sentence in the introduction seems a bit odd: "Although the Morane-Saulnier MS-760 flew earlier, the JetStar was the first dedicated business jet to enter service." It appears that this French military trainer was never a "dedicated business jet," although someone tried (unsuccessfully it appears) to market it as one at some point during its career. I'm sure other aircraft also flew before the JetStar (the P-51, C-47, etc.), but they also weren't "dedicated business jets." Another curious sentence later on states that "the JetStar has a fairly typical business jet layout." If the JetStar was indeed the first "dedicated business jet," one might better state that "the JetStar introduced what would become the typical business jet layout" instead - at the time it was designed, there would have been nothing "fairly typical" about it...Jmdeur (talk) 20:14, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article states: "mounted on the rear of the fuselage in a similar layout to the larger Vickers VC10 airliner" As the JetStar predates the VC-10, it would be more accurate to state that the VC-10 has a similar layout to a JetStar. By the way, the VC-10 article makes no mention of the JetStar pioneering the layout. As the JetStar is far more well known than the VC-10, this statement is even odder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 15:50, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
