Jet-setting
I'm back at my home base now. I had to fly down to an Air Force base to brief at a conference this week. I got lucky and was able to snag a ride on a C-21, better know by it's civilian name: Lear Jet 35A. It was my first time ever in that type of aircraft.
It was by far the most comfortable plane ride that I have ever taken. By chance, I got to sit in the forward-most seat and was able to stretch my legs out (see photo in the post below) and enjoy the ride.
On the way back I had to take a C-17 cargo plane, but it was still very cool to have rode the C-21. I don't plan on making general anytime soon, so it will be awhile before I see one of those executive jets again.
