This demonstration squadron was in Kelowna for a show of their skills. This type of jet airplane has been used by our airforce for over fifty years. We do have newer types. :-))

"Generating 650 horsepower, the Honeywell LT-101 makes as much horsepower as it does noise. It's hooked to a four-speed Corvette transaxle with special gearing designed to make use of the engine's unique power band. A set of specially designed and built wheels from Alcoa get the power to the ground. Shaped like the fins of a turbine engine, they were used to remind onlookers what they couldn't see buried under the rear hatch.
The entire body is made from carbon fiber and Kevlar and uses environmentally friendly paint from BASF. Although work on the interior hasn't begun, Steve Hofmann, one of the many GM employees who helped with the build, assured that it was designed to fit Leno like a glove. "We did all the math and built the car around Jay. There's no doubt this will be a drivable car once it's all finished," he told us.
Leno admits that the car will be far from fuel-efficient, but the fact that it runs on renewable biodiesel from a company in Seattle gives him some satisfaction. "Too many people in L.A. equate high-performance cars with pollution. I can drive this car around with a clear conscience," Leno told the crowd at its debut. In fact, Leno plans to drive the Ecojet on public roads just like his hundreds of other collectible cars. "That's the fun part," Jay concluded. We agree."
