[@CalebT_RC]

I fly with this guy a lot up in Moriarity, New Mexico

[@docholliday3273]

Jet-powered glider.....kind of seems like an oxymoron....or a U2, And, I would be looking real hard at the wing root areas after every flight.

[@hookeaires6637]

That oxymoron looked like he was having a helluva good time 😊

[@Eyes_On_Sky]

This is incredible, aerobatics with a Glider.

[@kiereluurs1243]

Yeah, 'gilder'.

[@michaelveis8937]

So, so cool.

[@StellarJay]

What g forces are acting on those wings?

Nice Piloting...

[@jamesshepard1606]

Awesomeness 😎

[@ketothekat8811]

I don't know much about avionics but if a glider is jet powered , doesn't that makes it a plane ?

[@trfmusic902]

That's what I'm saying

[@randomguyinanglider]

nope, its a self launshing glider

[@huseyinokyar6251]

👍🛩

[@jackirichard414]

Hello.

[@LSZB_Airport_Spotter]

Amazing video mate

[@olspanner]

Unreal!😁

[@kiereluurs1243]

Wow, who would think of that and actually convert a plane.
I guess this is about the maximum airtime it has.

[@mrhoffame]

About how much do one of these weigh?

[@unclebuzz6913]

ISN'T A JET POWERED GLIDER JUST A SLOW JET?
A GLIDER HAS NO PROPULSION .HENCE THE WORD GLIDER..
MAKES NO SENSE .BUT IT'S COOL ..

[@randomguyinanglider]

its still a glider, but selflaunshing

[@benhudman7911]

Put some tandem gear on this thing.

[@trfmusic902]

Not a glider if there's an engine

[@randomguyinanglider]

Its a selflaunshing glider
