Netjets BBJ - Nice Winglets!

[C40_Pilot]

The Ford BBJ's went to the Air Guard in DC.

The AF actually purchased two BBJ's for full timers to fly in at both Hickam and Andrews.

The Navy Reserve also has its equivalent of the BBJ-but they do not have winglets(but they may be added later).
Squadrons at Jax Nas and Dallas NAS have them.
Just got back from getting qualified and had my first flight in it the other day-they are sweet.

Now if that BBJ FO bid would ever come out at NetJets-I would be on it like a Hobo on a Ham Sandwich-I would love to fly the same aircraft for my fulltime and reserve jobs.

Yeah, but you get some great variety... Imagine being able to fly a Citation X for two weeks every month for Netjets and then your BBJ every other weekend...


Cgmason1,

How often do you get to fly the BBJ and how far afield do you fly it (any exotic exmaples?)? Sounds great.


Cheers

Its not a BBJ-but as close as you can get without the lavish interior.
Just got out sim tng and have only flown it once(if you can call it that) for training at the squadron.
Sweet machine-being the lazy man I am I would rather fly both the BBJ and the 737-700 at my reserve job. But thats not going to happen any time soon-the BBJ F/O bid is on the back burner-probably for while at least.

But the Hawker is not a bad second choice.

I know you are kidding-but there is a little truth in there--the handle bar yoke of the Hawkers is very nice-(especially for the flare)-tough to get used to the regular one again--I am thinking of carring a spare Harley Handle Bar Type Yoke around with me-but I don't think my squadron IP's or Tac's would buy off on letting me use it.

Ps griz can't believe you got rid of the cool AF C-12 pic you had before here and on the NJA board--the C-12 is my alltime fav aircraft--too easy!
