I saw a show on TV about the Viper Jet.  Looks pretty cool, although I wonder what it cost.  You can pick up a L-39 for under half a mil these days.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I agree. Bad things can happen very fast in a small jet like that. If I could afford the aircraft I'd certainly want an ejection seat installed.
