MY FIRST EXPOSURE TO FLYING WAS... when my dad brought me along to Stockholm on a business trip when I was 12 years old, and I got the opportunity to fly up front on the jump seat in the cockpit. I remember thinking that it was an incredible number of switches and knobs in there and it had to be the coolest job in the world. THE BEST PART OF FLYING IS… when you fly into mountainous airports like Innsbruck or Samedan in the winter on a day with a perfect blue sky. The scenery is always breathtaking and I’ll never get tired of it. PILOTS IN PROFILE Magnus Lilja The Assistant Chief Pilot in the Citation Fleet on Air Force aerobatics, showjumping daughters and breathtaking mountain scenery BEFORE JOINING THE NETJETS TEAM, I WAS… leading the Swedish Air Force aerobatic team, Team 60. I spent 18 years in the Air Force flying the JA 37 Viggen first and later the Saab 105 (twin-jet trainer) as an instructor and display pilot. I flew slots #3 and #5 before becoming #1 and leader of the team. ON MY DAYS OFF I… try to spend most of my time with my family and friends. My wife Lena and I have 16-year-old twin daughters who compete in showjumping, so a lot of time is spent in the stables or going to competitions. Personally, I enjoy sports, mainly squash and golf. WITHIN THE NEXT TEN YEARS, I WOULD LIKE TO… continue my career with NetJets, hopefully flying a newer jet from the left [captain’s] seat – and to add a dog to the family. JULIAN RENTZSCH MY PROUDEST MOMENT AS A PILOT WAS… when the aerobatic team was invited to celebrate Frecce Tricolori’s anniversary and there were 275,000 spectators over two days. I felt like a rock star taxiing past all those enthusiastic people. Looking down on the crowd from the top of the loops was amazing – there were people everywhere! 31 NetJets
