Default Remote control jets
This was at a Radio Control Jet Rally at Gardner Municipal Airport in Gardner, MA. Pretty incredible machines. The whole gallery is at http://www.pbase.com/sdowen/rcjets . They'll be there tomorrow (Sunday) too.

Woo and I bet they don't come cheap , especially when someone crashes one like the one on your site.

I'm told they can be upwards of 20 to 30 thousand USD.

Really nice images. I'll bet shooting such small objects moving that fast is quite a challenge.

Very nice use of panning, I really like the takeoff/landing in the last image. Next time out, try to lower your shutter speed a bit more to really empasize that speed, especially the takeoff pan... that could really kick up that image.

Cheers!
Ken
