Unfinished BD-5J

Appearing solo for the 1983 Abbotsford International Airshow, N21AP was one of two Coors Silver Bullet BD-5Js that preformed as a team or solo at shows 1983 - 91. The tiny jet is current on the US Register at the time of uploading and works with Aerial Productions International / Nalls Aviation on US government military contacts. Upgraded in speed and stealth capabilities, it's now certified as a Type-1 Cruise Missile Simulator.

This incomplete aircraft was displayed at La Ferte Alais. The owner expected it to fly in another two years or so, initially with an F-W*** test registration. With a very high performance they must be fun, though the safety record is not good

Bede built aircraft and was the original Bud Light Jet. The aircraft was later leased to Freedom Jets, who flew it without Bud Light titles on a military contract. It developed an engine fire on one of these flights with the pilot bailing out.
