I Flew On A PRIVATE JET! (for 9 minutes)

AirSprint Private Aviation is Canada’s largest provider of fractional ownership aircraft, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.

In addition to their base at Calgary International Airport, they also use Springbank Airport just west of the city. That occasionally leads to some short repositioning flights between the two airports.

So, when a friend of mine who flies for AirSprint asked if I'd like to come along on one of those empty repositioning flights... Well, the answer is obvious!

I will go to Canada in 5 months, already looking forward to it! Seeing friendly people like your friend make it even better. Great flight :)

Excellent video Alex! I'm glad we made it work despite the short flight time! Hopefully you recovered from that landing by now 😜😬.

Awesome. I love repo flights. Never done one on a Bizjet, mostly RJs

What a lovely little video. Thanks Alex. In the 1970s, I flew out of Springbank as rear-seat 'ballast' in a Cessna, for a friend's private-pilot examination. Very bumpy air.

Airsprint is one of my favorite clients at YHU. Crews are always friendly and their planes look great!

OMG the crunching of your feat on the snow chilled me to my bones.

Nice plane. Nice flight. One of the first aviation YouTubers I followed was Guido Warnecke who flew Citation N365EA all over the place.

In the 1970s my plane was based at Springbank. I hope to fly her back there some day.

Amazing video Alex, have just discovered the channel, obviously watched this one also the Singapore A380 flight, excellent streams, . NOW SUBSCRIBED.

Ok, my question is...if you drove to the airport, how did you get back to your car??? Also, I've been able to sit next to the pilot on a Cape Air flight into Boston Logan...it was the Aviation Geek dream come true.

Nine minutes of Cessna Citation sensation. 😃 Enjoying the view from a comfy C-FASY flight seat.

Great work Alex and what an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work.

You lucky big Man.
Greetings from a not cold YVR,

What a thrill that must have been for you and what a beautiful flight it for sharing!

[F_Continued]

Springbank is a very interesting airport. I'm glad you got to fly out of it! Great video, alex

[joeschenk]

Great catch...I really enjoyed this one, you were very lucky!

[garykee]

i was wondering..does that first airport have a de-icing facility? or because the short layovers don't take away the heat from the wings..very curious to know..thank you sir for this video.

[bobninemire]

Did you have to UBER back to Springbank to get your car ? I've had friends drive and hour and half to get a plane ride. BTW have a friend here in Edmonton that has a Vans RV6. I'm 100% I could get you an aerobatic ride if your ever up this way. I lasted 15 min...LOL He flys out of Villeneuve CZVL

[kenbarthSimAVtor]

Very cool! I have never been to Springbank eh! Or been on a private jet :)

[Asqry]

Nice video alex! keep up the great content

[JonathanWinton]

Part of me is ever so worried that you might get used to this 'high life' flying mate haha.
That is definitely some Alex legroom right there, maybe you need to get on the citation more often. Such a great treat and experience. So kind of the crew to have you along for that short hop.
Thanks for sharing it with all of us mate. Liked 😁😁✈✈
