Madrid to Basel in a Private Jet (Falcon 900EX)
 
Hey folks

Back in spring I was incredibly fortunate to be able to fly in a private jet. It was an empty positioning flight, so I could join along.

Please enjoy!

First, I had to position to MAD, so I booked Iberia from Zurich to Madrid:

By now I was very exited! Ready for boarding:

Pity it's a short flight! It must have been fun. :)

Actually I have been on a much shorter flight before, from BRN to BSL. I was lucky that winds were calm and we requested a takeoff to the south and as runway 15 was active in BSL this added about 5 minutes to the 15 minutes flight.

MAD to BSL was short, but it was a decent length still, as we were free to move around shortly after takeoff and until a few moments before landing.
