The number that jumps out first is the wind: 17 knots gusting to 30, and this jet still held a clean line through the entire session. A model this size getting shuffled around is normal in air like that, yet this one stayed locked in, and that is the part I keep coming back to.
The airframe is a Boomerang Atom dressed as a military trainer, wearing an American flag scheme with stars on the nose and red-and-white stripes. Power comes from an ENJET E130 turbine, and there is an onboard smoke system. The electronics list includes a Spektrum AR20410T receiver plus a Synapse unit, and the pilot flew from a handheld Spektrum transmitter worn on a neck strap. Functional tricycle landing gear took care of the ground handling.
The flying itself earns the attention. It lifted off a paved runway at an outdoor field, threw vertical climbs and barrel rolls, then came through on a fast low pass with white smoke streaming behind it before finishing with a stable glide and a gentle touchdown on the gear. The pattern ran mostly along the runway with a slight crosswind angle, which strikes me as a sensible way to fly in gusts like those.
Two things stand out. The E130 has logged more than 15 hours and reportedly runs strong. And while the maker reported the wind figures matched what was recorded at the time of the flight, how a station reading some distance away translates to what a particular patch of runway actually experiences remains worth pinning down before pushing conditions this far again.
