A pair of young American YouTubers, aged 23 and 27, have achieved a dream by buying a classic Cessna Citation 501 private jet and flying it home.

YouTubers JR Aviation bought the jet for cash and then had to fly the aircraft 1,800 miles in order to get home.

One of the pair hadn’t flown private before, making it a first-time experience for them.

Following the flight home, the duo then had to work out how much to spend on upgrading the aircraft and what they could add to it.

The YouTubers tested the jet before they flew it home

After arriving at the airfield where the airplane was located, a couple of little niggles were ironed out before it went on test.

The jet had brakes and new tire fitted before it went out for a speedy taxi run to ensure everything was okay.

One of the YouTubers, Ricky, had never been in a private jet.

But then his teammate, JR, revealed that he hadn’t flown in any jet at all, making this an actual first-time experience.

Despite having bought the jet sight unseen, the Cessna was in excellent condition.

Some parts inside, such as the seat leather, looked a little tired, but overall, it was impressive.

The pair and their team loaded onto the jet and began to take off, with the 501 presenting no issues.

The plane did stop to refuel during the journey, and that, too, passed by with no problems.

However, it cost over $400 a gallon to fill the jet up!

The Citation arrived at its new home in Phoenix, Arizona, at the end of the video.

JR and Ricky then revealed what they intend to do with their new, private jet.

They aim to share videos about owning the Cessna, how much it costs to maintain it, and any upgrades they add to it.

The duo certainly have a classic jet on their hands.

Cessna’s Citation family has been around since 1971, and the private jet remained in production until 1985.

The Citation 501 the YouTubers bought was first introduced in 1976 as an upgrade to the 500 Citation.

Can you imagine owning a private jet at such a young age?
