John lights the fire in the jet for Sophia's birthday.

John Gross likes to explore the boundaries. Many enthusiasts have built their own aeroplane but not many, if any, have looked at jet powered and that is what inspired John to design, build, test fly and operate the aircraft for 10 years. He did all of the build at home in his shed and we think that this project is a world first. He says that he considers it a successful mission as he is still breathing. Check this out and be amazed.

Was waiting for the Super six fence to take off. What an amazing home built.

That background in the flight footage looks Ozzie and the rego supports that. Never heard about this plane before. What an impressive project!

It was incredible to watch. Sophia loved it. Well done John 👍😊

What an amazing homebuilt aircraft! It looks totally viable, he is a very talented man, he creates this thing of great beauty and leaves it in his yard, which I can't fathom, judging by the grim reaper on the tail he might have got scared of it. "My God, I have created a monster" lol!

That would look good with a Blue Angels paint scheme.

The poor plants behind the jet exhaust were shredded! 😂

Paint scheme looks a little like the original Spirit Of America land speed car.

It looks like a Grumman Panther or Cougar

Does that have a front brake, and since its yard art now, how about a afterburner. Jet dragster style.

Details please.
Engine? Thrust? Weight? Speed?

So why is the jet now only a yard ornament?
