Looking for info on world record jet aircraft
"Richard" wrote in message
m... Long long ago, far far away, It WAS true - at one time. The BD5 was the smallest jet by quite bit. Before the CriCri showed up... Richard, The claim was never that the BD-5J was the smallest Jet. It was that one particular BD-5J was smaller than all the rest of the BD-5Js. He also claimed it was smaller than the CriCri jet. Nonsense, of course, but that was the claim. I don't suppose even Juan would claim that it's smaller than the nutcase that strapped a couple of jets to his ankles and jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. Rich

Nonsense, of course, but that was the claim. Juan said that the BD5J is smaller than the CriCri because it has a shorter fuselage.

..

Must have been about nine or ten years ago, someone's BD-5J performed at an Armed Forces Day air show at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. I think the show moderator called it the World's smallest Jet, but memory is a fragile thing. I think I have pictures somewhere, but darned computer won't cough 'em up. Old Chief Lynn
