Neat, real mini-turbines instead of ducted fan engines.

I saw a model B-52 with actual mini turbine engines (8 of em). Wow.

the thought occurred to me that if they lost signal for even a few milliseconds, the jet could travel far enoguh to be out of range.

That’s some cool stuff.

rw and warlaw, that’s what I was thinkin’ too.

G.I. doll … um … ACTION FIGURE held “hostage”.

Next, model F-14′s being “shot down” a year after the Tomcats were officially retired.

God I love this country! We *retire* fighter planes that other countries can’t even START to build!

So that’s where they’ve been hiding G.I. Joe’s secret spy plane! D’OH!

So do we get to see video of AQ shooting this thing down in a couple of weeks?

I dunno….we can keep an eye on CNN though.

Too bad this is on U Tube. We’ll see this video again soon with some rag head yelling allah akbar pretending to shoot it down. A dead GI Joe will roll our of the burning toy cockpit and CNN will say, “see, we told ya so. War’s a complete loss”.

I know a guy who built a ducted F4 Phantom from scratch. No big deal for him….he worked in palmdale on the B2. He had a crusader that was pretty cool.

An example of the kind of crashes I'm talking about: Here And he crashed in the grass. Imagine hitting pavement.

I should have added that a majority of the accidents flyers have is on landing. You can imagine what would happen to this model if the guy at the controls screwed up as it came in for a landing, especially at that speed.

I used to own a hobby store in town, and these planes are expensive. You’d just about have to insure them. lol

Back in the early 90s, when I owned the place, they ran about $5000 for just a basic ducted fan airplane, so yeah, this very well may have cost them $20 grand.

I’m guessing they have a LOT more than that invested, though, because these planes aren’t easy to learn how to fly (they are FAST), so I imagine they had more than one crash to recover from. Spare parts and replacements alone could run them several thousands of dollars.

If you’re going for old flying videos, how about some flying lawnmower?

$20k? You’d think actually flying a plane would be a better rush for far less $$. Maybe they have physical factors that won’t let them fly…

Pretty good jet pornism. Checking around, it looks like that's about a $20,000 rush. But for an even, literally, bigger dose, check out this page. Scroll down to the jet turbine, radio-controlled B-52 with a 20-foot wingspan. There are 2 pics: 1 porn, 1...uh...pwn3d. That's a lotta ~~$$$$$$~~.

In the air, yes. On the ground it looks surprisingly clunky, like it’s weighted down in the belly and tail and would take more work than it’s worth to get off the ground.

I always wanted to see an F-14 in flight, and now its retired. What a beautiful bird.

the 10 seconds you actually see it in flight are awesome. What’s up with that? A long run up for nothing?
