I suspect those wheels won't last very long at full power.

So if a fella designed and built an A-10 around a couple of those and took it to TopGun and then got a bunch of trophys thrown his way I guess a certain troll would have no complaints? [)]

As I recall, it was a beautiful day, we had about a 8 hour layover so we went to the wharf and had a great lunch and then headed back home later that evening. Saw this on the way home

It's actually the wheel from a Teledyne Continental Motors 373-8C turbojet. It makes 940 lbs thrust.
