High speed jets...and a unique jet car...all part of an airshow this weekend in St. Joseph.
Spectators will be treated to the world`s fastest Chevy pick up. It clocks in at record speed of 350-miles-per-hour.
The pick-up has a jet engine and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in one-in-a half seconds. The jet truck will even take on a plane or two this weekend.
"Airshows are great, there`s a lot of variety there`s family events..a lot of different things you can see at the Air Show but when the jet trucks fire up the crowds will run to the fire line to see whats going on," Owner, Neal Darnell.
The pick up took about two years to build at a price of around $150,000. The car tours the world. Its next stop will be Anchorage, Alaska.
