Went to the Air field on saturday to watch Rex (enginebuilder) fly his plane with some of his friends. In case people wonder why his name is jetmann here is why. A friend of his has an A-10 warhog which was BADASS!! I have some vid of rex flying but it's like 30 minutes long and don't wanna upload that.
Here's a some pics of some of the planes in attendance...I can't believe how life-like and realistic most of these are.

Billy's A-10






One of Rex's many jet's. Not sure if I'm allowed to say how fast it goes but it's retarded fast and isn't exactly what is called "legal". His other one has a monster engine compared to this one so god knows how fast that one goes too.







Nice mug Rex...how bout a smile huh?


Here's some other pics of some jet's from this weekend.

 

Here's a few vids of Billy's A-10 in action...

This Phantom is BaaaaaaadAsssssss When I was a kid I told my dad that I was going to fly one of these...yes I am that old Now they use them for missle testing

One of my customers had a SR-71 hanging in the shop. Badass toys $$

 

I love this stuff, I don't fly jets like these but, its fun none the less...

 

Just awesome. Without the right perspective I would think it real. I want one!

 

pretty sweet stuff . . . . . . "my other engine is a Jet"

 

I couldn't believe how big the A-10 was compared to all the rest. I think the wingspan was over 6 ft.

 

WTF... as i was reading that first post i glanced down at the first pic and thought it was a real jet didnt really realize it til i saw those people standing in the background....LoL
That jet looks sweet and friggin huge for not being "real"...

is that wat Rex does with those spare engines???

Nothing like getting pulled over for speeding ABOVE the San Fernando Valley!

I love it when he fires up the jet in my parking lot. If you didn't know it was a model jet, you'd think a real jet was taxiing down the street.

I heard a F-104 crashed on sunday's jet rally and set the field on fire!
Donno if the pilot bailed..............
