SUBSONEX JET Aerobatics Branson Wings of Pride Airshow

Описание: www.minijetairshows.com

MINI JET AIRSHOWS is a lifelong dream of the pilot Tom "Lark" Larkin. Having watched the BD-5J perform as a child at a local airshow, and then later becoming a fighter pilot, airline pilot, and aerobatic pilot; it was always his dream to do airshows in a "mini" jet.

What started off as a half partnership in an RV-6 with his brother Larry, eventually turned into a Christen Eagle, Panzl, Staudacher, and several other aerobatic aircraft...culminating in the once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase and perform in a SubSonex Jet. At only 500 lbs with speeds up to 300 mph, it puts on one of most unique and exciting airshows in the country!

Now it's' all about "high energy" airshows and interacting with kids. Stay tuned for an airshow in your area and come see what this amazing little jet can do!

The "star" of MINI JET AIRSHOWS is a highly modified SubSonex Jet, otherwise known as JSX003. The SubSonex is an Experimental Jet that comes as a kit. It weighs 500 lbs, goes up to 300 mph, and it is fully aerobatic. This particular aircraft was the first kit ever sold and flown, and it has been flying for approximately 8 years. The jet is powered by the PBS TJ-100 jet engine from the Czech Republic, and at full throttle it is capable of producing 258 lbs of thrust while burning 45 gallons/hr of jet fuel. As beautiful as the jet is, there is no paint on it. It is completely wrapped in a vinyl covering, similar to a show car. The smoke system is totally custom and it puts out a tremendous smoke trail from start to finish, burning about 7 gallons of smoke oil per show.

If you've never seen a jet doing a full aerobatic routine in a small confined space, you're in for a real treat! Make sure to catch a show in your area, or feel free to email us for a current schedule of shows.
