I joined my flight instructor Tex, who recently got hired at Aero; a luxury all First Class “semi-private” jet company. We flew together to Aspen, Colorado, known as one of the most challenging and tough airports in the U.S.

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is 7,820 ft in elevation. For most aircraft operations, aircraft must land to the south but take off to the north.

The Aero Embraer 135 has been fitted with just 16 First Class seats in a 1-1 configuration. It has its own FBO at Van Nuys and you can arrive at the airport as little as 20 minutes before the flight. Find out more about my flight on Aero and the unique approach into Aspen Airport in the video.

  1. From the beginning to the end of the program, I saw everyone's enthusiasm and the beauty of the scenery. At the same time, this is a beautiful plane. Thank you, Sam.

  2. I remember in the mid 80’s a 707 ( or that size passenger jet) had an emergency landing at aspen. In those days only private jets or “dash sevens” could take off in the thin atmosphere. So it had to be trucked down hwy 82. I loved flying to Denver in those old prop planes. Just magic

  4. I am not sure how anybody keeps a black airplane that clean. Nice job to the support crews who do lots of work like that for very little credit.
