Narrative:
On our final day of a 6 day rotation on the road, we were informed of a position leg to eagle, co, from denver centennial airport. Then we were to go 'live' to traverse city, mi, to drop 2, and then position the aircraft to chicago O'hare airport to crew swap. While our passenger showed early, we were still trying to expedite things so we could make an earlier flight home. After start up, we taxied out to runway 28. By the time we got to the end, we were finished with our checklists. We didn't call ready until the aircraft on final had touched down. When we did call ready, we were given a 'position and hold' clearance. While we were positioning onto the runway, I added to my takeoff brief that I would hold the brakes until the power was almost all the way up. I then proceeded to ask for line-up items on the checklist and then I pwred up and rolled. Upon liftoff, we heard tower say 'aircraft X, disregard.' I then glanced down and verified to my dismay that the landing lights were still off. This immediately translated what had just happened into reality. A bit of get homeitis accompanied by a bit of fatigue was partly to blame, but attention to detail and staying sharp was definitely not part of this segment. I'll bet I don't send in the same report ever again though.

Title: LEAR 45 FLC TAKE OFF WITHOUT CLRNC AT EGE ARPT DUE TO HURRY UP GET HOMEITIS.
Narrative: ON OUR FINAL DAY OF A 6 DAY ROTATION ON THE ROAD, WE WERE INFORMED OF A POS LEG TO EAGLE, CO, FROM DENVER CENTENNIAL ARPT. THEN WE WERE TO GO 'LIVE' TO TRAVERSE CITY, MI, TO DROP 2, AND THEN POS THE ACFT TO CHICAGO O'HARE ARPT TO CREW SWAP. WHILE OUR PAX SHOWED EARLY, WE WERE STILL TRYING TO EXPEDITE THINGS SO WE COULD MAKE AN EARLIER FLT HOME. AFTER START UP, WE TAXIED OUT TO RWY 28. BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE END, WE WERE FINISHED WITH OUR CHKLISTS. WE DIDN'T CALL READY UNTIL THE ACFT ON FINAL HAD TOUCHED DOWN. WHEN WE DID CALL READY, WE WERE GIVEN A 'POS AND HOLD' CLRNC. WHILE WE WERE POSITIONING ONTO THE RWY, I ADDED TO MY TKOF BRIEF THAT I WOULD HOLD THE BRAKES UNTIL THE PWR WAS ALMOST ALL THE WAY UP. I THEN PROCEEDED TO ASK FOR LINE-UP ITEMS ON THE CHKLIST AND THEN I PWRED UP AND ROLLED. UPON LIFTOFF, WE HEARD TWR SAY 'ACFT X, DISREGARD.' I THEN GLANCED DOWN AND VERIFIED TO MY DISMAY THAT THE LNDG LIGHTS WERE STILL OFF. THIS IMMEDIATELY TRANSLATED WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED INTO REALITY. A BIT OF GET HOMEITIS ACCOMPANIED BY A BIT OF FATIGUE WAS PARTLY TO BLAME, BUT ATTN TO DETAIL AND STAYING SHARP WAS DEFINITELY NOT PART OF THIS SEGMENT. I'LL BET I DON'T SEND IN THE SAME RPT EVER AGAIN THOUGH.
