Late for School? Hop on the jet powered schoolbus [Video]




The yellow American-style school bus has been fitted with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane, allowing it to reach up to 367mph.
Paul Stender and his team from Indy Boys Inc, based in Indianapolis, USA adapted the bus which uses a full tank of 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile run.


Quote from the article:

Mr Stender's creation, which he has dubbed 'The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus', also fires out 80 foot flames from the back creating massive clouds of smoke.
Mr Stender, 43, said: "I built the bus for two reasons. The first is to entertain people because, come on, it's a jet bus.
"The second, is to keep kids off drugs. Jets are hot, drugs are not.
"The entire vehicle was custom built by myself. There's no way the original bus could have withstood the speeds that I take it to.
