A trip in a chartered private jet airplane

My friend traveled to her home town a few days ago in a chartered private jet airplane, the Beechcraft Hawker 400XP pictured above. The distance of the flight one way was 300 miles, it took less than an hour since this jet is one of the fastest small, general aviation jet airplanes made, capable of 500+ miles per hour (over Mach .7) The airplane had two pilots, a PIC (pilot in command/captain) and a SIC (second in command/first officer) and my friend was the only passenger in the luxurious cabin that was configured to seat six people.
