A friend of mine said he saw an episode of Storage Wars where one of the guys bought a locker with two turbine jets inside. He said they took one out and flew it until it fluttered and crashed. He said they sold the other one for 9 grand. Anybody seen this or have any details? The guy must have some rc experence or they did some TV tricks to make it look like he was flying when someone else was really doing it!

That show is BS. I seen that episode and I seen the jet posted in the classifieds the next day. I dont know the whole story but I havnt watched the show since because I realized everything is set up on it.

Well that doesn't surprise me, I think all these "Reality Shows" are set up. Was the jet attractively priced for a ghost?

I saw one episode it was a Nice blue and white ViperJet, looked like skymasters... I think the guy that flew it for the guys on storage wars was Billy ???? He is well known here by alot of the guys in this forum I think... Also a habu was flown too.. The episode was funny, the guys were going nuts when the jet was flying lol

chris1971

Yes I guess that was it because he said one crashed and the other sold for 9 grand. By the link above I see it was discussed on another thread last year. Guys thanks for the help finding more info. I guess it was faked after all! And on a different channel and show title.

Same show. The foamy habu crashed and the viper sold....or as the story goes.

chris1971

What I was saying is that he told me the wrong show name, it was actually auction hunters on spike tv instead of storage wars on a different channel. that sure was a nice Viper though!

How did we get from the above post to "Sorry the Viper does not exist anymore" in two posts.

Billy, who crashed the viper? It's now a case of "who Dunnit?"......

BaldEagel

I think the Viper was sold not crashed, "Chinese Whispers" certainly there is no empirical evidence on here that says it crashed except for one post, then everyone joined in.
