Corporate Jets

[Midnight Mike]

I went on my first BBJ flight & like any other aviation geek, I sat in the jumpseat for all legs of the trip, instead of sitting in the cabin, here are some photos of the interior

Like any other aviation geek, I want to see some photos from the jumpseat!

What is the tail on that bird?

I was allowed to share the photos, as long as I did not release the tail number.

Well in that event a great looking plane but I echo Brian's request for the jumpseat pictures. The 727 is the "father" of my aviation passion and susequent career.

I have a related question.


DO smaller corporate jets, such as Lear Jets, CItations Gulfstreams, etc, do they have jumpseats as well?

Just was wondering.

Yes Mario, some corporate jets DO have a jumpseat, although its not the most comfortable in the world.

Lovely shots! I would like to sit in the back of that plane!

As lijk604 pointed out, some bizjets do have a jumpseat (usually the larger models such as Gulfstreams, Challengers, various Citation Xs), but many do not.

No kidding! Just about all jumpseats are not very comfortable..... :wink:

[cancidas]

anything smaller than an Gulfstream or Global Express will not be worth spending more than 10 minutes in. i have yet to see one on a Challenger.

I sat in a T7 FA jumpseat for a few minutes when we had some extremely severe turbulence and I could not get back to my seat. Are jumpseats in the cockpit more uncomfortable than those because they are in a lesser amount of space?

[hiss srq]

Lears do not haven a jump seat. You nearly need to be a midget to flt them or at least the 20/30 series.

[mirrodie]

Then I should be fine in the Lear ;)

Mario, looks like you passed on your spelling issues to Ryan.

[hiss srq]

I know and my name is SPELLMAN. I blame it on constant multi task and ADD lol.

Nice pictures! How great would it be to own one of those yourself?

[G-BOAD]

i would like to have a flight in that cabin, make me fell like a president or something.

[stuart schechter]

EDIT: Political statement omitted. Sorry if it offended anyone.

[nwafan20]

Maybe you should be a president. Your more qualified than our current one.

I know I'm not a moderator, but lets keep politics in the off topic section please.

I sat in the jumpseat of a G-IV last year and was actually surprised at how comfortable it was. To be honest though, I was so enthralled with the view on final into LAS that I could have sat on a fiery chair of spikes and not noticed.
