This is a great show of 3 Big turbine remote controlled A-10's blowing away cardboard tanks. Yes, look carefully, there are tank displays out there at the end of the field. This is basically just awesome.

It’s model airplanes. Maybe that could have been mentioned in the title?
What part of “Remote Controlled Jets” don’t you understand???
The “remote” part because the answer is far from him.
Those ‘hawgs need some super-mini chainguns and Maverick missiles!
Me wants one to play against the drones! Add a 12 gauge to it and play tag!
True, but impressive nonetheless. You’ve got to be really talented to fly those RC planes without crashing your multi k toy into a million pieces. I dig it. Bravo!
Perhaps you are not aware and should check the real live remote controlled, 707s, 727s and DC-10 from years past?
What a great way to mess with your nasty neighbor!
Blow up his trash bins! lol! And scare the crap out that barking dog!
Ha!
True story. A friend of mine was really into RC planes. One of his friends was flying his RC plane and buzzing his neighbor’s house, who he did not like much. The neighbor came out of his house and told him to stop it. Well he didn’t so the next time the neighbor came out he had a shotgun and that was the end of that RC plane. Needless to say the neighbor was an avid duck hunter.
I’m pretty sure that it is completely illegal to have any “real” pyrotechnics or projectiles on an RC plane. I think they were “faking” the bomb runs by remote detonating ground mounted explosives. I could be wrong, but those were the rules the last time I flew RC.
You are correct. Those rules are still in force.

Average civilians are not gonna have those toys. Remote Control, in today’s world, is typically small scale enjoyed by enthusiasts (such as the video shows).
Life-sized RC A-10s...now that would of been something.
Oh, wait....
