Brokaw Bullet

An experienced Navy Fighter Pilot of WWII and Korea, Dr. Brokaw wanted to build a high performance airplane capable of 250 mph cruise over the weather and also be aerobatic.  Six years were required to complete this tandem truly experimental aircraft.  The buddy seat is primarily for his wife "Buddy" Brokaw.

The design team was rewarded with great speed and altitude capability along with 1500 ft/min rate of climb and a 180'/sec roll rate.
