Here's a "teaser" if you will, while I try to upload more of these.

Imagine 36000 hp... 1/4 mile in less than 5 seconds at 290 mph. Top speed at somewhere around 350. I don't remember exactly.

It has 3 jet engines on the back. They call is Shock Wave because when it's over 300 yards away, with engines facing the other direction and it pumps the gas, you can feel the bursts of heat leaving the engines.

The truck would race the planes. They would fly by, and as soon as the plane passed the truck, he gunned it. He had until the end of the run way to pass the plane. He didn't manage to pass it either day, but he was very close.

A pyro. That was part of an exhibition called the "Masters of Disaster." They had 3 way-overpowered biplanes. One had a jet engine strapped to the bottom and was putting out 10x the original horsepower, one, the plane was build around the engine, and the other the engine was just tweaked alot. Anyway, they took those three planes, the jet truck, and a pyro, and they just did pretty much whatever. It was 90% unplanned, where as most air show demonstrations are 100% planned out from start to finish. It was nuts. Those biplane pilots are crazy.

Good thing you explained. I thought Bin Laden's pilots dropped their bomb a few feet off from their intended F-16 targets...[fake]

Imagine all the air pollution.
