My father had four guests that needed to fly from Gothenburg to Stockholm (500 km) for a show and since there were a seat vacant I could come along! Well, I knew we were going to fly but I had expected some small propeller plane and I got a real surprise when I came into the hangar and this $12M Raytheon Hawker stands there. So beautiful! And real cool and luxorious inside too. So, we took off and flew for some 30 mins and landed at a small airstrip outside Stockholm. Then we spent 2 hours playing around with excavators, diggers, caterpillars and other construction equipment together with the guests and the pilots which we also invited. Actually very easy to drive and handle these big vehicles once you practiced a little (and I don't even have a drivers license!). Then after two hours and lunch we flew back again and the pilots put up an extra seat for me in the cockpit so I could sit there all the way back and see both the take-off and landing up close and listen to the radio traffic. Great fun!! I feel so lucky!
