Flying to Europe is well within reach for many executive jet types. Transatlantic routes While safety is still the primary concern for pilots, today’s challenges are not so much the vastness and weather on this ocean, but traffic density and regulatory compliance. Some need technical stops in between, while others can make it non-stop.

It was interesting and a lot of fun for a lot of reasons, with most of them having to do with not flying a jet and not being restricted by ATC and all the regulatory stuff that makes an airline pilot feel like he’s roped and tied. I can’t do that in a jet. So there I am circling in clear weather with a frown on my face.

After we decided this, we heard a Challenger jet announce “Taxiing to 26 for takeoff”. It’s worth noting that Shmulik had a close call in the past: a jet pulled onto the runway in front of him with no radio call. This near miss was avoided only by the jet taking off immediately in front of him. He tried again, with no reply.
