Snaggletooth Posted September 3, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2009 They have one on permanent display at the Aerospace Museum here in Omaha. It's elevated above you as you walk through the front door you are looking at the nose of the thing. It's a pretty impressive sight. Not as good as watching one take off at night. Seen that a couple of times. And to think these have been around since what......the 60's? Oh Doh! Now I watch the vid! R/C.....very cool. That should keep the neighbors cat entertained.

KiteSquid Posted September 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2009 It looks like the model in the video has only one turbine in it..... I wonder if someone has one with two turbines in it. IIRC those turbines cost $10,000 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have one on permanent display at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton Ohio. It is on the ground - almost close enough to touch. Awesome plane. It flew for about 15 years without most of the world knowing it exsisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
