They’re no Airbus A380 or Boeing 747. Still, private jets like the Bombardier Global 5000, as in 9H-IBD, have their appeal. It’s what they do to your sense of curiosity and imagination that does it. What sort of celebrity or dignitary might be on board? What exotic locale is the plane arriving from? What would it be like to fly on an aircraft like this?
