Jet car cool
June 28, 2008 | Anchorage Weekend Roady
I rode out and filmed our jet car today. It raced an acrobatic plane. The jet car does that fairly often. The jet car is power by L-O-U-D J-34 engine. When he fires the afterburner, it’s like dragon’s breath.
On this run, he waited for the prop plane to streak by and pass him. Then he revved up the engine, a colonel waved the ‘go’ flag as if motioning James Dean in ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and …
Let me say this. There is just something carnal, reptilian and macho about roaring flames and 400 mph. The Air Force Reserve Jet Car is all that. And in about 8 seconds, it was over.
The jet car is cool. Video to prove it coming when I return.
