Speaking of Finnish aircraft and special duty fits, do their Learjets still have that modified tailcone as well as the capability to carry search radar or drop provisions?  I remember seeing these aircraft under test while I was still working there a quarter-century ago.

Yep, the Finnish Learjets have all the "lumps and bumps" I remember, including the bulged aft end of the fuselage.  The under-fuselage radar and the drop door fairing are alternate equipment fits for these Learjets, though I do seem to remember that there was some tunnel-testing of the two together for a worst-case look.
