Jet Engine Backyard Ep1 Widescreen

Backyard Jets now in High Quality Widescreen, new content added to this timeless youtube classic.

In 1986 two school friends made a simple backyard jet, maybe this was the start of a life long world wide hobby.

Today jet builders around the world can easily see each others efforts in creating backyard jet chaos.
A sure fire way to really make friends with neighbours, even ones streets away.

Jet builders and collectors around the world will enjoy this video, and hopefully inspire others to take up the Backyard Jet hobby.
