Paul Stender not only breaks the speed limit with his school bus, he incinerates it.
When Stender decided to add a little horsepower to a school bus, he went beyond using fuel additives or engine enhancements. After equipping it with a 42,000 horsepower General Electric J-79 Jet Engine taken from a F4 Phantom Fighter Jet, the owner of Indy Boys, Inc., painted flames on the side of the yellow bus and named it the School Time Jet-Powered School Bus. It has been deemed the world’s fastest school bus with good reason, with a top speed of more than 300 mph.
Stender takes the bus along to air shows around the country, promoting the message, “Jets are hot, drugs are not!” When Stender hits the gas, the only thing chasing after his bus are the 75-foot flames. Could you imagine how much time you could slice off of your morning runs with this red-hot yellow bus?
