    Corporate Jets

    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







    Here are some shots of a 727 Corporate Jet

    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.

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

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

    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.....

    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.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    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?

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