Bay of Quinte....Bob Fieorenze was flying a JPX powered Yellow Aircraft F-16. Normal procedure was to land deadstick
No one knew what he had and we were all shocked when the thing fired up. I believe this one was one of the first model turbines so nobody even expected it.
I was there too and while I was very impressed I remember asking myself what idiot would pay $3000 for an engine. Well, it only took a couple of years for me to answer my own question by looking in the mirror.
