Neat job you have, Chief. I used to go saltwater fishing with an old salt sr. chief who was the weapons guy on one of those gas turbine powered Navy hotrods. Those things must do 40 mph or better. Classified of course.
I remember watching one of those leave Seal Beach weapons station and corner San Clemente island while we'd only made mid-channel on a fishing cattleboat headed for Catalina.
