THE AIRCRAFTStarting life as a classic 1929 taper-wing Waco, this was once the aircraft of choice for the aviation “barnstormers” of the 1930’s and 1940’s. The Jack Link‘s Screamin’ Sasquatch Jet Waco has been completely redesigned and structurally reinforced and includes state-of-the art technology.

Our team added a jet engine and highly modified the Screamin’ Sasquatch to allow it to handle the unique aerodynamic forces encountered during aerobatic flight. Portions of the aircraft’s struc-ture have been converted from wood and fabric to carbon fiber and the cockpit has been moved 3 feet toward the rear of the aircraft, in order to accommodate separate fuel tanks for both the jet and prop engines.

The Screamin’ Sasquatch, Jack Link’s Jet Waco is powered by dual power plants: a Pratt & Whitney 985 radial engine and a General Electric CJ610 (J85) jet engine with 3,000 lbs. of thrust. Total thrust of the combined engines is rated at 4,500 lbs. A three bladed Hartzell propeller is used to harness the power of the 985 radial. With a thrust ratio of greater than 1 to 1, the jet waco is able to accelerate going straight up.
