@russelljsweet We where in one that look just as nice as this one, and it went for 47 mill. I don't know where he gets this 60 to 65 from. Also, any training start at the bottom. Once you get checked out, you can fly right seat but before you can fly in the left seat, you will need thousands of hours or the insurance guys won't let you fly.

i have got to get me one of those! But I prefer the 747, perhaps the -8 will do.

@WillBravo63 I talked with Dad about this 777 Captain statement and he said it was bunch of crock. Captain and co pilot have to alternate landings and the reversal is true. You have to do a few "stage three landings" to check out the instruments, etc. He also said that you can only do this at certain airports that have the equipment for it. O, about my dad, he is an retired 747 captain. Was also a check pilot.

So you exit through the washroom!!!!!
I'm wondering where you would go for pilots training for a jet this size. Approx. $50M for the BBJ right?

@russelljsweet For $50MM you *might* find a bare-bones example, but one that's outfitted for (typical) use is gonna be a little more. I've been seeing more like 60 - 65. Training? Easy to get. Remember the 9/11 hijackers? They were able to get training (in which they tragi-comically 'opted out' of learning to land).

This unit (as mentioned earlier) is a Boeing corporate demo unit, so nothing to do with NetJets. I'm an aviation and technology buff and (private) pilot. No financial involvement with Boeing... just like to pull for the "home team." :)

Reminds me of the reply from an early 777 Captain a few years ago. I asked him how far above ground he was when he HAD to take the controls to land. He grinned. "Zero feet," he said. We now land just to maintain proficiency. The plane can land itself as good if not better than us.
And NOW, we're about to see both Boeing and the forthcoming G6 with a 3D situational awareness display (with HUD?), updated in real time by RADAR, satellite (GPS) and topo maps.
Yeah, I love this stuff.
