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.

Fry is here...... YOU DA BEST, I watch plane spotting on this guys channel every day......... He's an amazing spotter
на таком на работу точно не опоздаешь))) пробки и те не разглядишь)
:)
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.
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. .
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
merica
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.
Announcer and music ruin it.
i know right
wow, didn't see the Shockwave since 2003! Great memories...
I was there and I have to say, it was pretty freaking awesome watching this thing race a MIG
I was there for that. It was sad. Until now I didn't know he rebuilt it! Def a good thing.
glad to see he's back in the sadle.
shockwave ftw!
awesome seeing the blue angels in the background
omg that was friggen awesome!!!!! the combined ops demo
when i was kid i was watching this video everyday :D
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
I was there.. and let me tell you, there is NOTHING like watching a MIG race a jet powered semi truck.
I love this shockwave jet truck.❤️ This racing truck.From India.🇮🇳
I actually saw him once. It was amazing.
I don't care if it's 100 gallons to the mile, this is COOL!
I LOVED this guy when i was a kid. I still do!
Only In Murica :D!
lmmfao!! Perfect caption for that lol!
I saw this thing screaming down the runway yesterday oct 2 2010 at miramar airbase this thing was a beast
gave me goose bumps..... i love it!!!
I saw shockwave in bloomington ill in 1995 0r 1996 and it was the most awesome thing i ever saw.
damn lol just the acceleration at 3:29 is just amazing!
its been a good battle man
That'd be FUN on the road . . . Baltimore to Florida in an hour & a half, baby.
Respect to cameraman too :)
Very nice flames!
I like the hood scoop for the jet engine.
nice video, no shaking, cool truck, thumbs up.
Saw shockwave in bloomington ill in 1996.Awesome.
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 UA-cam , But a hell of alot better Live and In Person !
thumbs up for Blue Angels just sitting there in the background
WOW!!! great video,...
neighbours must love his cold morning starts
252 mph? what did the guy said?
insane...i have to watch it again and again
This is why I love America.
Amazing! :D
Thank You !!!
No waste of fuel. Last time I looked there was plenty jet fuel,around. I think it's really neat.
You are smart enough not to forget breathing.
He could toast a crowd with that thing.
The kitchen sink repair added 2mph :D
with this answer your on the same level as he is...congrats...
you are a real champ :)
omg......think this was AMZIN...the finnal burst...
To quote Back to the Future, "If my calculations are correct when this baby hits 352 mph, your going to see some serious shit."
It is a fast delivery!!!
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best..
Generates more smoke than anybody, yeah that's something to be proud of...
I am loving it☺
Now thats a sure fire way to keep tailgaters off you as you drive.
Sick. Great video, the flags didn't bother me a bit, neither did the Blue Angels.
OK I'm only 10 but things like this are scary and the people who do it r awesome.:-D
Ok that was sick.
when I eat beans, I have alot in common with this truck
My favorite childhood video if anything I'm 11😜
This is Great 👍👍 Job ... Funtastic 💐💐
I've heard of Al Gore wanting to buy this truck as family vehicle... ;o)
Lets just say that if we were parked at a red traffic light i sure as hell wouldn't be the one behind him!
anyone else think it's awesome that this truck's theme tune is Eddie Van Halen's Eruption?
Wow 😲 Congratulations
I was waiting for it to take off. I think I hear Al Gore crying too...
Guy 1: Dude my Prius does 50 miles to the gallon.
Guy 2: Yeh well my rocket truck does 50 gallons to the mile.
Just imagine how expensive your pizza would be
This is a euro 5 engine ^^
I'm sorry Mother Earth, for allowing this beast to exist.
I: mom ignite my cigarete
mom: ok son i'll go ignite cigarete but you push the pedal when i will ask.
Awesome!!
amazing!!!!!!
I LOVE MCAS
this is what u get when u put a jet engine behind a truck XD
OMG THE BLUE ANGELS!!!!!!
America: We build trucks with jet engines.
Piss us off, see what we will build.
dammmm man nice truck..
Imagine waiting for the green light behind that thing in traffic.
that thing behind the cabin must be his fuel tank lol
i miss living on this base
Yes I do. I was referring to acceleration at takeoff.
i wish i can sprint that fast ^.^
amazing what some people can build out of an old kitchen sink
That was in my city at our air port. So i seen it in real life. It gives off a shit load of heat.
wanna know why the weather is so crazy? well this is one of the reasons....
I don't think this guy will ever have any trouble with tail-gaters.
fantastic
chuck norris wanted to upgrade his truck into a fire breathing beast...
Ah ok I see haha. I didn't get the sarcasm. You never know when you're on the internet!
3:29 standing next to Ifrit HELLFIRE like a boss
Jet 1:Hey look its shockwave!
Jet 2: OMG OMG OMG!
Broken jet 1: Thats my jet engine :(
