After I got my wings in 88 and was waiting to go to Corry they brought in a wide selection of Biz Jets for us winged guys to go fly in and give our impressions. I'd have to go back and look at what they all were but I remember one of the Lear models, the Westwind and the T-39 at least. We went and flew them on typical VT events and wrote up most of our impressions and recommendations and from the students perspective staying with what we used then, the T-47, seemed best to us. Anyway they went back to the T-39. For those that don't remember them, the T-47 (fighting platypus) was a Cessna Citation IISP with bigger engines, three feet cut off each wing to get the roll rate up 90 degrees/sec and a first generation APG-66 in the nose. It really was a sweet ride that could make it up to 40K if required (and light). After the Navy got rid of them they were in a hangar in Kansas that got flattened by a tornado so I think they were all destroyed.

They smelled like new cars and came with new sets of leg restraints and a shiny P&W plaque. :icon_smil (assuming you could pry them off the engine)
