The first turbine I saw was Kent Noggy flying a Viper at top gun around 1994...It was unreal

And Woketman, I clearly remember the Phantoms at TOC since I was the one flying one of them (my dad's supersonic eagle) and Noggy was flying the one that flamed out (cut the power back while inverted on a reverse cuban eight... you couldn't do that with ducted fans). Back then, those twin ducted fan phantoms were real showstoppers.

Makes me happy to hear someone remembers that flight... I have it recorded in my mind
