MIke Opitz's father Rudy Optiz flew those.

Technical correction: It's a rocket, not a jet. Big difference.

Sure it's not a turbo jet but does that mean it's not a jet? *You get
a jet of water out of a garden hose. *You get a jet of exhaust from a
rocket, or a thruster, whu not from a rocket.

To quote one source - "This broad definition of jet engines includes
turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, and pulse jets."

I was taught that a rocket carried its own O2 source while a jet
depends on oxygen from the atmosphere. Bob probably was referring to
this distinction which is correct.
