Buying a Private Jet in Cash and Flying It 1,800 Miles Home!

We bought a Cessna Citation 501 private jet sight unseen then flew it home nearly 2,000 miles across the country. Buying a private at 27 and 23 years old is wild! Been dreaming about this for years. Can't wait to share videos about jet ownership, maintenance costs, fun $100 hamburgers flights, etc. Should we upgrade the interior, panel, or paint?

I'm 75 years old. I flew 15 years in the Coast Guard and 22 years with the airlines. From helicopters, seaplanes, C130's to 717's, DC-8s and DC-10's. What you guys have achieved is nothing less than astounding! Would that I had the ambition, drive and resourcefulness you guys have when I was your age. Congratulations!

[@leevandyke8524]

Roger I am 72 I was a TD in the Naval air, Glenview airbase, Glenview, Illinois. I had a large trainer building with a C130 set up to train you guys , obviously way back before computers, and everything ran on servos. I was thevguy that pre-flighted the trainer before you got there as well as the guy who sat behind the curtain and gave you all types of problems to work through. I E. Aft, compartment, fires, failed, landing gear, missed approach due to the equipment on the runway, whatever Switch I could throw to give you problems. Most likely didn’t like me at the end of your flight but loved me three years later when something wrong happened on your plane and you knew what to do. Thank you for your service.

[@jacobdziki]

Retired ATC, 30 years. Great video! I loved the professionalism even though its your jet and you are all so young! No one treated anything like a toy. Be safe, have fun!

[@patrickhalton7371]

When I was 23 I was flying B-52's in SEA. I never dreamed of being a pilot until the month after I graduated from college, when the draft board said they needed my body in Viet Nam. I wasn't hot to join the army infantry, so I enlisted in the Air Force and they decided to put me in the cockpit for the next 5 years. Your video reminded me of how much I miss flying, even now when I am 81. I hope you appreciate not having to deal with the draft and being able to live your young lives in the manner you choose. I admit that I loved the years I spent flying, but it prevented me from going to medical school as I had planned and at 28 I was considered too old for that after I was discharged. Keep following your dreams and be safe in the air and on the ground.

[@coma13794]

The blend of a chill vibe (fist bumps and general enthusiasm) combined with real CRM and true professionalism in terms of the execution of the flight has got to be one of the best things we can be showing the next generation of pilots. I can't help but notice the number of older/senior pilots in the comments pointing out what a kick they're getting from seeing these guys realize their dreams and doing it the right way. It's great to see that great content does NOT have to involve people acting like idiots. Hats off to all involved and congratulations on your purchase!

[@rebot]

I'm very happy for you all, you're so right, nothing is given but only earned! Those expecting things handed to them in life, tell me how that works? You don't go to the gym, you don't get chiseled.

I was impressed by the professionalism as well. I watch Mentour Pilot and 74 Gear videos and the amount of stupid mistakes some pilots make because they're not as focused as the people who were piloting this plane are is incredible.

[@EfficientRVer]

As someone who attended games 1, 2, and 6 of the 1977 World Series, I can't see an early 501 without remembering who was the first fatality in one, when N15NY crashed. Fly it by the book, don't skip any checklists, and be really sure of your flaps and airspeed on takeoffs and landings. I also flew into DTW over the wreckage of a DC-9 that forgot to check the flap setting. Having said that, I've always loved the idea of having a single-pilot jet in general, and a 501 in particular, but never seriously enough to make it a priority. Congrats to all involved. Fly safe, and milk every remaining hour out of those engines while going easy on the temperatures.

I worked on Cessna Citation V 560 Ultras (also some Encores, which had different engines, landing gear and a reconfigured 'hell hole) for about five-six years as an FAA, A & P Mechanic. These were U.S. Army, commercial off the shelf, aircraft known as The UC-35A. The 501 looks very, very similar, but with a shorter fuselage. The 560 Ultras had the clamshell type doors and closed circuit refueling capability as well as the over the wing open port refueling. They also had the Pratt and Whitney JT 15D-5D engines.

[@marvtomson574]

15:32 For those wondering- 374 gal's x $4.75 Jet A fuel price = $1776.5 top op cost. If the plane was completely empty when they bought it would have been nearly $2700 to fill up. Which in the grand scheme of things isn't too terribly bad.

[@robertvasquez240]

Would you pay $1700 to take a commercial flight that flies the same 1,800 mi. route (only it doesn't have to stop for refueling)? Don't get me wrong: I'm all for general aviation flying, but the costs to own a private jet (or even a relatively "inexpensive" propellar-equipped Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee) add up very quickly. Hangar spaces alone can cost anywhere from $500-$1,000 a month (depending on the airport/location--possibly more at a major airport), and then add insurance, fuel costs, and the dreaded TBO costs and other maintenance/inspection costs and other things that routinely need replacing (like tires, landing gear parts, windows, broken gauges/avionics, etc.), and you're looking at a sizable amount of money each year (approx. 10-20% of the plane's cost). That requires deep pockets. I wish you all the best!😂

Congratulation guys, why I subscribed is the fact that you guys are sincere self made, with a vision to get the finer things in life and do what it take to get to that vision, you guys are living the American Dream. Your parents must be so proud of you guys. What else would a parent want. Definitely a monumental accomplishment.......one of many more to come.

Q. How much did the plane cost? Q. Who amongst you were trained pilots? Q. How long was your training before you qualified? Q what will be your running costs to keep the plane serviced and parked at aerodromes? Q. What are your plans for its use now?

Damn bro any more questions? What a hell are you writing a book or some?

500 k they were hired from his dads company 3 months training 15 k a month expenses plus rent leasing it out for profit recoup as an investment is why it was bought like duh i figured this out and i'm not even a pilot

@@thrivalmode4523 Hes just not a fool like you who believes youtubers buy jets. KZbinrs rent jets or sets. Guy has 117k suscribers for fk sakes and you think he owns anything like this? No, daddy does who likely owns a business, looks down on his son for barely making real money by making youtube videos, face it, this kid isn't Dr. Disrespect or Ninja and they themselves would be stupid investors in they bought something like this.
