From Wikipedia:

The Lockheed JetStar (company designations L-329 and L-1329; designated C-140 in USAF service) is a business jet produced from the early 1960s to the 1970s. 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 VC10 airliner that first flew several years later, and the "slipper"-style fuel tanks fixed to the wings.

(VTOL to adjust trim (important for take-off) and action group 1 to raise gear)

    @Authros Yeah, getting around the wheelie issue is a little tough. If I want to go full throttle, I usually put the VTOL slider up slightly before take-off, then pull it back down once I'm rolling at a good clip. I'll see if I can tweak it some more to get it more naturally stable on run-up.

    "Elvis has left the building!". Good build. A bit scary to begin with when I went full throttle at the start and did a wheelie. I was more subtle on my second attempt. Once in the air it flew really nice, and I kept level flight with a slight adjustment to the VTOL. I know how hard it is to get this particular airplane flying straight due to the positioning of the main engines as I've made one myself.
