Welcome aboard the classic Sabreliner 65! This is an airplane I have admired for years and I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to fly it, and even better bring you guys along for the ride. We fly from cold and rainy Salt Lake City, Utah to Concord, California and discuss some of the history and features of this classic bird. Thank you to Eric for the opportunity and mentorship on this major bucket list experience! I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.

    Love the co-pilot, got that ain't-letting-this-thing-kill-me-today focus that you love to see in a cockpit.
  • In 1972 I had my private commercial and instrument. I flew a 172 to my grandad’s funeral. On the ramp in Akron was a saberliner. I had someone take a photo of me taken in front of it! I was an aspiring airline pilot, so this was so cool to me. Oddly enough, I never flew any corporate jets, as I got hired by a major airline at age 25. 40 year career, old now, retired now, and it’s still a memorable photo👍🏻 Jetstar and Westwinds were cool too!

    Back in the 70s, as a teen who loved airplanes I walked across a hangar door and saw a lovely airplane parked inside. I immediately recognized it from the pages of aviation magazines, and as I had never seen it up close, I stood there for a moment, admiring it. An engineer spotted me at the door, and a little in jest, challenged me: "hey kid, I'll bet you won't know what this is". To which I replied, "It's a Rockwell Sabreliner 60, and I have never come this close to one before". That broke the ice. He invited me into the hangar, showed me the airplane, and a few years later I even did maintenance manual translations to Portuguese for this airplane's mechanics. I even got to help them out by talking with Rockwell's customer support over the phone, as the the maintenance crew were not that proficient in English.

    Classic indeed, very cool, thanks!

    Incredible, what a joy. Thank you for taking us with you.
  • Owen Beautiful flight from start to finish and what a nice classic Sabreliner ! Sabreliner has always been one of my favorite jets as they are built like a tank and just continue to fly on. I also love the Westwind and enjoy watching video on either of these brands. A friend had a Sabreliner 40 years back and it was so reliable and made travel so easy. Thanks again to you and Eric for a great flight.

    Best REAL jet ever. Retired from the Sabreliner 65. 2000hrs in type. Nice hand flying machine at FL450. Fastest speed experienced was smooth air decent @ .82 with 150kt tailwind. GS was 651kts.
  • I loved that from beginning to end, thank you both. Oh and Owen, smooth landing!! 😊
