It was evIdent to me as I wandered
around the four-day event — at thIs
level, jet modelIng Is not for the faInt
of heart or shallow of pocket.
To say there were a lot of
BAe Hawks at the Florida
Jets event would be an
understatement. Here a
Tomahawk variant comes in
for a landing decked out in a
sport jet scheme.
A pair of turbo-prop Tucanos
go through
an impressive
formation flight
demonstration.
Smoke trails
added a lot to
the excitement!
Everywhere you looked, on the flightline and in the
pits, amazing turbine-powered jets abound. You name
a jet, and it was probably there. Maybe two!
The turbo-prop engine from Andy Kane’s Tucano shows what’s involved in making
a jet engine turn a 3-blade propeller. The sound is amazing!
