Turbine action
| A real Indian Summer here in Michigan. Mid November and mid 60's with little to no wind. A great turnout for what may be the last flyable day this season. A few spectators in attendance as well. I flew my Jet several time last weekend and this past weekend (November 8th 2009). There was probably a 20 mph wind blowing directly from our backs hence the landing accross the runway directly at the camera (And pilot) | |
This is my First Jet back in 2007 (Or at least the remains of it) when it plowed into the front wheel of a Chevy Pickup. At the time it was flying full throttle that had been clocked at 183mph. About all that was salvagable out of it was the Retracts and wheels/brakes. everything else (And I mean everything) was either destroyed or damaged in some way. (With the exception of the Chevy which had NO damage at all!!) A BIG thanks to Harry Peckham of the Valley View Flyers club in Colorado who put this short movie together! |

The latest attempt of Jeff trying to get his Home Built Turbine running at self sustaining levels. Personally, I think he is very very close to acheving this. GOOD LUCK JEFF |

| Hope you have a good Fire Extinguisher handy there Jeff!!! | |
| This is Jeff's home made Turbine running on E85 instead of Kero/Jet-A. Looks good Jeff. Hopefully E85 smells beter than Kero. :) |
