The "School Time" bus, created by Paul Stender and his Indy Boys build team, was created from parts of a school bus and and a GE J-79 jet engine that shoots 80 feet of flames behind the vehicle when it rockets forward.

"A lot of it is hand-crafted and the types of metals used would be more at home on an aircraft." Stender said the bus is designed in part to help him bring an anti-drug message to kids. "It's important for them to have active hobbies and creative interests to keep busy and keep away from bad influences," he said. "That's why we wrote our motto on the side of the bus: Jets are hot -- drugs are not."
