You landed 59 minutes ago...didn't take you long to post pictures.

I think the company that owns that aircraft is a NetJets affiliate IIRC. The name looks familiar. I thought they got rid of their BeechJets, though.

Pilot must be a Rook (37,000 ft)

It's always cool to get to the cockpit, congrats!

Hey, at least your friend looked really cool right before he got sucked into the engine.

     Looks like a Hawker to me, the yoke is a dead giveaway  :D

Be-400a Beechjet:


Hawker 800:


     It's been three years since I got out of general aviation, so I'm not sure who the Netjet "Borg" may have acquired recently  :lol

My bad, Hawker and Beech are the same entity to me. Being a Beech fan, I just use it as a general term.

"NetJet Borg"  :lol

edit:

Where are my manners...

Very cool J0, a great experience for you.
