There is no better way to assess the performance of a business jet than flying it on a long trip, in this case a delivery flight from Embraer’s manufacturing plant in São José dos Campos, Brazil, to the U.S. AIN senior editor Matt Thurber joined Executive AirShare (EAS) chief pilot Alex Franz during the delivery of the company’s last Phenom 300 from Brazil in mid-December.
