One of the most spectacular entertainers on the airshow circuit is the Shockwave Jet Truck, created by Les Shockley in 1984. When the three PW J34-48 jet engines are fired up by driver/pilots Neal or Chris Darnell of Darnell Racing Enterprises, the crowds are in for an ear-popping, flame throwing experience that rivals even jet fighter takeoffs. Often, as in this sequence with Matt Younkin, the Shockwave Jet Truck races one of the aerial performers. Usually the Shockwave Jet Truck wins, but Younkin hit the intercept point early and just kept hauling past the truck as it accelerated!
