I saw a show on TV about the Viper Jet. Looks pretty cool, although I wonder what it cost. You can pick up a L-39 for under half a mil these days.

WHAT? No 20mm Vulcan option? Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

About $350k when you've added all the bits you need (interior, avionics and the thing at the back which makes you go forwards).

It looks really fun to fly Cheesy

I'd be more worried about the fact that it doesn't appear to have an ejection seat. personally, if I was going to buy a jet like that, I'd spend the extra money for martin baker to have my back.

I agree. Bad things can happen very fast in a small jet like that. If I could afford the aircraft I'd certainly want an ejection seat installed.
