NOTE: All 12 factory demo BVM Jets that flew at Florida Jets '05 were powered with JetCat engines. We used P-60's, P-70's, P-120's and the new Titan.

BV's competition "Pretty Patty" F-86, soon to fly at Top Gun '05 with JetCat P-120 power.

 
   



The recently updated A.F.S. MiG-15, also with Metal-Kote II finish, is featured here in flight and about to "squeak" the tires. The MiG has a great "presence" in the air and touching down. It too will soon to fly at Top Gun '05 with JetCat P-70 power.
   

KingCats were the most popular sport jet at the show.
Powered with the new JetCat "super powerful" and "efficient" Titan engine.

   

Dustin Buescher came from Wisconsin to help BVM demo some of our 12 flyable models at Florida Jets '05. Here he is expertly guiding the F-4 Blue Angel and the F-80 Shooting Star in for perfect landings.

F-80 = JetCat P-60
   

Some of the best hands in the hobby were busy at BVM before the show. There is probably 300 years of modeling experience in this gathering of eagles.
