USO Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car

400 MPH Race With an Airplane

Love hearing the roar of an engine and the feeling of the ground rumbling below you?  Then keep your eyes peeled and your ears open as the USO Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car races down the taxiway at the Chico Air Show!  Come see for yourself the burst of flames and clouds of smoke as the first jet powered car act in the industry takes to the runway at the Chico Municipal Airport!

The USO Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car show was the first jet-ground act in the air show industry and has been performing since 1985.  The jet car that performs is a 26 foot long rocket that never leaves the ground, with a Westinghouse jet engine churns 10,000 horsepower and pumps about 6,000 pounds of thrust! This act is perfect for those that love power and speed!
