The title of the Big-Boys.com piece is "I Gotta Get Me One of These!" If you're into airplanes at all, one look at the video for this 6' long jet-powered F-14 Tomcat in full test-flight mode will have you uttering similar sentiments.

I feel the need ... the need for speed!

I can't watch TopGun anymore. I keep thinking Maverick is going to want me to read "Dianetics", hook me up to an E-Meter, and sell me a $10,000 package so I can attain "Level Clear."

I remember this a couple of weeks ago.

Build your own! I'm series! I'll bet you can find lots of stuff online about this.

OTOH, if you're into firepower.....

What is this thing putting out, spitballs? The real thing would take one round to destroy the TV. These are nice models.

SPITBALLS?

The real thing would take one round to destroy the TV.

Yeah, but the real one also requires lots of $$$ paid to the same government that'll prod you rudely with a microscope for half a year -without a kiss. BBs are cheaper as well.

Gad, what a nice model! This reminds me of when I was in the USAF, and there was an RC club just offbase where I'd go and observe whenever I could. One guy had a model of a B-17 that was huge, and when he had it airborne, he would fly it over the runway and drop a bunch of those little round impact firecrackers. That was awesome as well.

But this jet is a beauty!
