    This same company used to sell B52 ejection office chairs too. This isn't really anything new for them. They've been doing it for years.

    Motoart? Man, I liked watching that show. Interesting to see the company is still around. Looked like they were flaming out on the show.

    Were it a seat from a Marine Corps aircraft, the cushions would be all beat up and ripped and duct taped back together.

    I really wish they went with something along the lines of olive drab for the cushioning. I'd be going for the fighter jet look, not a Mercedes-Benz spaceship.

    What strikes me is how industrial/i.e. unrefined this chair looks - like they put zero thought into the design and just bolted together metal pieces until it resembled a chair. I guess that's what happens when you give out contracts to the lowest bidder.

    I never realized the Air Force equipped all of their f-4's w/red stitched Corinthian Leather seats. You learn something new everyday.

    @AllToAll,ByMyMustard!_GitEmSteveDave: @geiko: That's actually from the Refit. Originally it was upholstered in "Ultra-Vellour". It costs 4 grand a yard, but apparently it was worth it. Hard to get out the brown-ring left after a fire-fight, though.

    I admit, given a long stretch of road, I'd sure as hell want to give it a shot. Only thing I'd really be afraid of is the engine bursting into flames, and fricasseeing my ass into a charcoal briquette.

    The video wont play for some reason. Maybe I am not seeing something in the design, but it looks as if you will burn the HELL out of your leg if you actually sit on it while its activated.

    The goal is to break the land speed record last year, shooing for 800MPH.


    If I've learned anything from comic books and sci fi, he's gonna have to go a lot faster than 800mph.

    Either that, or only 88. Guess we'll see.

    So I suppose the 'car' isn't powered by an engine but a jet turbine?


    That's cheating!

    Hey, well at least there's the British Airways Concorde sitting by the Intrepid, though the engine cowlings are empty, and one of the powerplants is sitting in a glass box next to the jet.
