NICE!!!!! I never flown inside a business jet, how does it compare in ride to larger commercial planes?

I haven't been since I was a kid but now you say this I am looking forward to going back to the Smithsonian Museum sometime soon.

Which aircraft is this in?

I never knew they had a military aircraft museum there. I will have to check it out someday. Anybody been to the USAF military museum in Dayton Ohio? I was there a long time ago and spent all day snapping pictures of airplanes.
