Flying to the Caribbean on a PRIVATE JET (Gulfstream G450)

Watch this video to see inside a Private Jet! We were invited by our friends to join them on a Gulfstream G450 flight from our home in Greensboro, NC to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten (SXM)!
You’ll see everything from the luxurious accommodations onboard to the catering, even the Gulfstream cockpit! We'll give you a Gulfstream private jet tour, highlighting the Gulfstream G450 interior!
This 1,600 mile trip lasted four hours thanks to a surprise change in our flight path, but we weren’t about to complain about more time onboard this “Better-Than-First-Class” Private Jet experience!
This private jet is one of the most luxurious in the sky. The Gulfstream G450 is capable of traveling up to 5,000 miles. In fact, our crew had recently flown from Washington Dulles Airport to Milan in Italy! Our four hours onboard this private jet were incredible!

It was my pleasure marshaling out your flight Jeb! I recognized you just didn't wanna be unprofessional! Enjoy!

[@GreenerGrass]

Amazing! Thanks for all the work you do to keep us moving. Hope to meet you another time!

[@bigbluemsp]

​@Jeb Brooks you should do an interview with him about his job.

[@debramage739]

Well done Chris😊

[@philnaegely]

Geek out next time 😍

[@DougAlesUSA]

I agree with ​@@bigbluemsp Jeb - I’d love to see you interview some of those behind the scenes like Chris.

[@marclittlewood20]

One of the things that i love about this channel is that Jeb is always so humbled, not only does he show so much enthusiasm about travel but he comes across so genuine. Thank you Jeb for allowing us into your travel and life. It’s been such a pleasure to have watched you over the past few years! Thank you!

[@Rach09_]

Indeed 😊

[@mcain2911]

That’s why I like you, Jeb. Your gratitude towards your viewers says a lot.

[@Aaron-hl1rl]

It was my pleasure being your pilot for this flight Jeb! See you soon.

[@GreenerGrass]

Thank you so much for the ride! Definitely didn’t mind the TFR pop up😎 Appreciate all you do to keep us moving!

[@lyndastarwriter8507]

I'm amazed by airline pilots of all calibers keeping the aircraft safely in the air and knowing how to navigate all of the tekkie gear. Kudos to you, Aaron and to any co-pilots you may have.

[@davidt8087]

@@GreenerGrassnot all TFRs mean you can't fly over it. It's just that a rocket launch means the altitude you can fly over goes up really high. I guess this flight was the first time you heard of a TFR hehe

[@davidt8087]

@@lyndastarwriter8507a pilot is a pilot. Your differentiating airlines pilots as if it's different. Also Aaron isn't an airline pilot but probably a contract pilot.

[@joyceanthony-huff2914]

Jeb has a smile in his voice. He's my favorite Saturday habit next to visiting my toddler granddaughter

[@ClassicalRips]

I am one of the engineers that designs the newer Gulfstreams, I am glad that you had a great experience! I hope that you will get to see one of our newer aircraft someday, the symmetry flight deck is really something special to see!

[@GreenerGrass]

What a cool job! Hopefully someday we’ll try the new ones…

[@thomastomoff3134]

​@@GreenerGrass you and your beautiful wife are one of my favorites, because Greensboro holds a special place in my heart, and GSO is one of my favorite airports! Not only that, but I also love Amtrak. You are only about 70 miles away from my Alma Mater, Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, and I have tons of friends and classmates in the Greensboro Triad Area. You also have a very nice Amtrak Station as well. Since 1969, I've been through the Greensboro area many times. Some of my best friends live in the Greensboro area. I am from the Detroit, Michigan area, but my heart is in the South, especially in Chatham and at Hargrave. Up until 2008, when I got laid off for 2 years and 3 months during that recession, I used to return to Hargrave every 3 months to get my Hargrave Haircut from the School Barber, Curtis English. After he retired from the School in 1999, I would go directly to his where he still has a barbershop in his basement for The Faithful for only$5. At 89, he has not lost his touch! So, if you're paying more than $5 for your Haircut, I invite you to check him out! Your Hargrave style Haircut will last you well over 3 months, so you will get your money's worth!💈👮‍♂️He's only 5 minutes away from the School, so if you check out my Alma Mater first, and visit the Hargrave Historical Museum there, I'm sure that Frank Thomas, the Alumni Director will be happy to escort y'all to the Infamous Curtis English Basement Barbershop! In fact, 5 minutes later, you just might end up feeling like 17 year old Hargrave Cadet! Nobody cuts hair like Curtis English, and many are the Blessings of An Inspirational Curtis English Hargrave Haircut!💈👮‍♂️Just tell Frank Thomas and Curtis English that Tommy Tomoff'69 sent you! It'll be an experience that you'll never forget! As for me, I get back there whenever I can nowadays, but in the meantime, I stay in touch with Curtis by phone. I originally went to Hargrave because I wanted to be a 5 Star General like Douglas MacArthur, but God ended up having other plans for me. Instead, I ended up discovering what Ponce couldn't find, the Fountain of Youth! At 71, I still feel like a 17 year old Hargrave Cadet, thanks to Hargrave and Curtis English! So take care y'all, and May God Bless! And safe travels!

[@thomastomoff3134]

Oops, left out a word,.......directly to his home......

[@subhranshuganguly2246]

WOW thanks Rips and Jeb. May be in my next life would be able to fly one of these.

[@lordhydromage6614]

Why would you put the control of the plane into the left hand of the captain when most people are right handed and co pilots train to fly using their right hand. The control of the left hand is just not as good as the right hand for 90 percent of humans . And you did this so it would look cool and symmetrical. Ya no thanks...love the windows but I want all skill and reflexes in an emergency to be in the strong hand of the pilot. Actually I want two hands on the controls not one ...whoever came up with this stick idea was a fool. It may work in fighters with two hands on center but in passenger plane its stupid idea. And yes I know the stupid idea is in a lot of Boeing planes now but its still a stupid idea.

[@premjitc]

The best thing I like about Suzanne and Jeb is their absolute humility. It's easy to get high nosed here, but they are truly thankful to each and everyone of their subscribers and viewers. It's a pleasure to watch them travel the world and take us along as well.

Happy for you and the wife, living vicariously through your adventures. Unbelievable, this guy eyes are filled with water he was so happy, I saw on the ride to the airport and also airborne.

[@amdrtech]

I just retired at the end of 2022. For the last 8 years I have taken hundreds of flights on various Citation jets and even some helicopters for work. It is truly a perk and I felt privileged to have the opportunity to do something so special.

[@dianeschroeder3980]

[@nickjackagliata8323]

Such an appropriate video on your first private flight! Way more tasteful than other videos on private travel. I remember my first time flying on a private jet and I shared all of those emotions of just being elated even during taxi and loving the very mediocre food… GREAT video

[@GreenerGrass]

Appreciate the comment, it means a lot to us! We never forget how lucky we are. Thanks for watching!

[@deanmartin8784]

Many years ago I was fortunate to fly round trip from Washington State to Minnesota on a client's Cessna Citation. It was single pilot and I was able to sit in the right seat for a good portion of the trip home. What an awesome experience!

[@jesselewis1035]

For all of us who may never ride on a plane thank you for sharing the experience with us from the inside to the beautiful blue sky that it shows along with the beautiful sceneries that was really magnificent 👍✌️💯

[@johnclauder615]

Look forward to your next two landings in some "unusual airports" as you will see in case you have not been there. St Barth is known as the Switzerland of the Caribbean . I trust your french is up to scratch ! It's a pity you did not show your take-off at normal speed .

[@egpx]

Your friends have a G450? I think I need to find myself some new friends! Seriously, that looked very cool. Back in the 90s I had a couple of flights in an HS125 which was also cool but not nearly THAT cool! Well done Jeb and Suzanne and I'm looking forward to seeing your Caribbean adventures.

[@ironmanballer4868]

No working at an Fbo I was able to do some quick research the jet is owned by flexjet fractional shares of ownership that means you share time with others.

[@egpx]

@@ironmanballer4868 yeah, I guessed it was fractional ownership, you’d have to be insanely rich to own one outright. Even so, I’d love to have some friends who ‘owned’ even a fifth of a private jet and could fly me to a Caribbean island!

Jeb was this flight around Feb 9th. My wife and I were flying on Southwest from Islip, NY, heading to Tampa. As we were around Jacksonville, our pilot announced that a SpaceX rocket had been launched and luckily on our side of the plane . We got to see the trail , and flames from the rocket entering space. We are all so fortunate to have you sharing these incredible videos with us. So glad that you and Suzanne able to enjoy what was the most over the top flight . Keep ‘em coming.

[@Hartfordland]

Great video, I've been fortunate enough to fly private. They reserve the higher altitudes for private planes, I'm glad you shared you were at 45,000 feet. One time I was flying private out of Anaheim heading to DFW. We took off into the Santa Anna winds, the first 9000 feet of climb out were the bumpiest I've ever felt on an airplane and I fly 150,000 miles a year. I was very lucky and flew the concord back in about 2004 (BA Heathrow to JFK) and we were over 50,000 feet that time.

[@davidisaacson9543]

They don’t reserve the higher altitudes for private plane. Commercial jets are not able to fly that high due to performance and certification. Private jets can go as high as 51,000 but usually go no higher than 45,000. At the higher altitudes you can top thunderstorms and avoid headwinds

[@jimpad5608]

I used to fly between San Jose California and Corvallis Oregon about once a month for a few years because I was a consultant for two teams (one at each end). At first it seemed extravagant, but my client pointed out that I had a full productive day every time. If I had flown commercial, I had to fly the night before, rent a car and a hotel, all of which they had to pay for. It was actually cheaper to fly on the private jet they already leased. No extra consultant hour, no hotel or car, which can add up quickly. The thing I liked the most was no security checks. I could arrive 10 minutes before the flight. Get on the aircraft and go.
