Hmmmm, somewhat aspirational

A few flies in the ointment though with a 'wet behind the ears' PPL.

1. If it's your aircraft, well done, hate to see the insurance cover though!!!! (if you can get it)

2. If it's your friends aircraft, even more well done, however ensure that she/he checks the insurance cover as I think you will find a minimum experience level in there.

3. If you are renting it then, to be honest, forget it! No FBO is going to lease one of those to a low houred PPL pilot with no/little previous jet experience.

4. If you get totally stuck I'll fly it for suitable renumeration

If you do manage it please let us all have a copy of the flight plan for your trip. Just as I can then avoid that airspace at that time thanks!

Have fun
