Shockwave Jet Truck
2009 MCAS Miramar Airshow
MCAS Miramar
Miramar, California
Friday October 2, 2009
Kent Shockley fires up the newly rebuilt Shockwave Jet Truck and takes it down Runway 24R at Miramar for a dry run. This newly rebuilt Shockwave features many more and much-improved safety features than the original. It is those safety features that were on the original Shockwave that Kent is able to bring to you this "second-generation" Shockwave.
I apologize for any bad color and/or vertical lines or American flag intrusion that may or may not be in this video. Unfortunately there were American flags that got in the way of the video during some critical parts of the videos and I have had some camera trouble throughout the weekend.
For those wondering what a dry run is, understand that there are a few acts the Shockwave Jet Truck performs at airshows across North America, and this also applies for every jet powered vehicle that appears on the airshow circuit.
A dry run, like this video shows, is simply the driver of the jet vehicle showcasing the vehicle to the crowd without any other acts in the air or in the aerobatic box. The vehicle and only the vehicle has the stage and the runway to do whatever show it wants (usually showcasing a lot of fire and smoke), and the dry run part is an actual firing of the engines to achieve maximum speed (or close to it) down the runway without any aircraft in the air. This kind of act is as popular during the day as it is during a night show.
Jet vehicle owners will also challenge a pilot (or two) to a drag race down the runway either while the pilot is already in the air for his/her act or will take to the air just to race the jet vehicle. Spectators are led to believe this is done on a whim, but it should be emphasized that this is a choreographed race that is well planned out and briefed prior the start, usually at the morning performers' safety briefing. The driver of the jet vehicle will brief with the pilot(s) to ensure the pilot(s) fly a safe distance away from the vehicle and at a speed at such to make the illusion the jet vehicle will win the race. Remember, this is scripted and not done off-script for the sake of safety. This kind of act is as popular during the day as it is during a night show.
Finally, jet vehicle owners will sometimes take some sort of role in a larger and more choreographed and scripted act featuring one or more aircraft in an amazing smoke and fire display. Examples in the past include the X-Team and the Masters of Disaster, to name a few.

no fucking way lol i thought this was just for show hahaha and then it fliping goes 352
Fry is here...... YOU DA BEST, I watch plane spotting on this guys channel every day......... He's an amazing spotter
If that hit a deer, there would be parts of that deer on every planet of our solar system.
ya lol!
You won the internet for the week with that zinger.
And cooked to a nice golden brown. .
Saw the original shockwave (the red and yellow one) quite a few times, it is insane to see in real life. Even at an airshow with hundreds of planes, nothing is as loud as that thing on full burner.
Ah yes, I remember watching this video years ago. Glad it's still here.
на таком на работу точно не опоздаешь))) пробки и те не разглядишь)
:)
Because gas is no fucking issue.
Jet engines use jet fuel, which is chemically made. Totally artificial, just like Nitro. C:
Justin Pedroza jet fuel is kerosene!!!
echschmidt Shockwave uses JP4 with 104 Octane Boost!!!
Maybe you're thinking of rocket fuel. Jet engines do not use rocket fuel. This guy is not using rocket engines.
Never tire of seeing these marvels of engineering and technology.
A rolling explosion. This is possibly the coolest thing ever.
people challenging each others will destroy the planet or the world, i'm sure 100%
Yeah and make it a better place to live
Announcer and music ruin it.
i know right
my favourite thing is the PURE SWEET SOLO that this BEAST COMMANDS
I was so relieved when the commentators voice got wiped out by the noise of the jet engines haha.
merica

I was there for that. It was sad. Until now I didn't know he rebuilt it! Def a good thing.
I love this shockwave jet truck.❤️ This racing truck.From India.🇮🇳

I saw this thing screaming down the runway yesterday oct 2 2010 at miramar airbase this thing was a beast
I saw shockwave in bloomington ill in 1995 0r 1996 and it was the most awesome thing i ever saw.
I was there.. and let me tell you, there is NOTHING like watching a MIG race a jet powered semi truck.
Saw shockwave in bloomington ill in 1996.Awesome.
I saw this thing - - felt the instant blast of heat on my face when the flame shot out the back - - very funny and awesome at the same time - - glad I saved a place at the fence to see it

That'd be FUN on the road . . . Baltimore to Florida in an hour & a half, baby.
I like the hood scoop for the jet engine.
I don't care if it's 100 gallons to the mile, this is COOL!
thumbs up for Blue Angels just sitting there in the background
damn lol just the acceleration at 3:29 is just amazing!
WOW!!! great video,...
neighbours must love his cold morning starts
Because of the inclemate weather as to the Huge Marine Layer over the base on Sunday morning the 3rd we were lucky to be in the grandstands when this truck started his run , then seeing Kent Fire up those afterburners , Very Very Cool , then came to find out the truck burns ONLY 120 gallons of diesel every time he does his run ; Key Word , ONLY ! But It's exciting to watch on TH-cam , But a hell of alot better Live and In Person !
I am loving it☺
It is a fast delivery!!!
This is why I love America.
You are smart enough not to forget breathing.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANG THATS FAST!!!!!!!!
i wish i can sprint that fast ^.^
awesome
Generates more smoke than anybody, yeah that's something to be proud of...
43 decepticons saw this video.!!!
Just saw this truck run over the weekend at our local track. I was wondering the same damn thing. As far as I knew you can't accurately convert thrust to HP. But I could be wrong. Think I'm going to go ask this question on their FB page.
i was at the airshow @ Westover Air Force Reserve Base when "Generation 1" Shockwave had its bad accident...nice to see it back in action again
Wow, ist das cool!
Do you think the exhausts will fit on my ninja 250?
I'm sorry Mother Earth, for allowing this beast to exist.
Imagine waiting for the green light behind that thing in traffic.
this is what u get when u put a jet engine behind a truck XD
so does it have a trailer with wings or jets
anyone else think it's awesome that this truck's theme tune is Eddie Van Halen's Eruption?
Im planning to buy this truck, but can someone tell med how much fuel it uses with the flames and full speed?
how fast wast it going?mph
amazing what some people can build out of an old kitchen sink
what you think that top fuel alchohol nitrous's and ol' gasoline and piston engines are better than jets and gas turbines?
this is a huge smoke machine. who would want that?
Me so i can smoke screen ur ass
radical man
how fast was it?
I can't get it!
