Actually a jet conversion might be interesting. I like to fly low, so I
don't really care about the FL290 restriction - I'd light the
afterburners at 500 feet and scream along the treetops. My passengers
would just scream.

That is, take off the wings as the engine rips its way through the
fuselage and tumbles down the runway.

chuckle The guy that has the jet powered Waco doesn't have an
afterburner, but doesn't need it. He came to speak at our Aviation
Explorer's base a couple years ago, and one of the kids asked how fast it
would go if he kept it at full throttle, level.

He replied something like, "I duno, probably about 300, before the wings
ripped off." g
