First Time in a Private Jet.

My friend is a member of net jet and timeshares this jet.
The wife and I went skiing with him and his family in Big Sky, Montana over the holidays. This was our transportation....................Un real!
Private Ski Club, no lift lines, his Chalet is right on the mountain. Ski out the back door and down to the lift.
I dont think I can ever ski in crowds again.
Going back next week!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ask them if you can sit on the jumpseat for the landing next time. The view is much better...

This is what Michael (fingpilot) and I do for a living but in something a bit (a lot) larger. Nice world to live in and glad you enjoyed it.

had 2 when i was a kid, they're great fun, friendly , very witty , protective... great with kids... and when they see snow, they are in their element...

i've been hearing reports that they do suffer from inbreeding... and some of em now get bad characters and cancers too ... still, great dogs...

The first takeoff sent chills down my spine. During flight I crouched down in the cockpit and asked a million questions.
The highlight of the trip

The funny thing is I always thought really wealthy people were stuffy........wrong, I met some of the nicest, happiest people ever. I guess when you have that much $$$$$ its pretty easy to be happy.

So I guess the place has a sauna as well. Sweet. We have a sauna at our cabin in Wisconsin, my stepdad jumps through a hole in the ice into the lake after a sauna sometimes. Furthest I've gone is a roll in the snow in shorts.

I was with friends who have a place in Mammoth last night, I hope to ski this winter. Cool pics!

I had a client fly me to a meeting in San Diego in his Citation. It's the fastest private jet, cruising at just below the sound barrier. 55 minutes from SFO to SD Intl. We drove up to the private terminal, got right on and took off. I was back in the office by noon. Not a bad way to go.
