Yeah the show was fun. the pin-ups must have been freeeeezing though. I got the side cover to my Whizzer motor striped at the show. Looks really good.

The guy who was running it said the jet was from a military drone, I wonder if they are available as military surplus.

As far as I know, the military hasn't fielded any drones with such small and inefficient jet engines but may have some in the developmental phase. I know on RC jet engine has been tested on cruise missiles. If i am wrong, please correct me (thanks).

The jet engine he has on the bike is probably a model airplane radio control jet engine and there are dozens of vendors that sell them.
