What about 'Shockwave'???

The triple Pratt & Witney engines allow this antic (for example)

In a typical show, an aircraft approaches the jet truck from behind, flying at about 200 mph (321.8 km/h).
The Shockwave jet truck accelerates from zero to 300 mph in about 11 seconds in an attempt to catch up with the plane overhead.!!!!!!!!
