They put a TC88 (or 95) into a plane. Looks kind of cool, not sure how well it really works though.
Yeah, Leno has one of those jet bikes, they were pretty interesting. Also come close to topping the price scale, I think they start well in excess of $100k! They had a gay scene in the movie "Torque" using the jet bikes. http://www.marineturbine.com/motorsports.asp

RE: When Hogs fly
They put two TC88's in the replica Wright Flyer when trying to recreate the historic Kitty Hawk flight. They roughly equaled the torque and horsepower of the home built engines Orville and Wilbur made.
Piston airplane engines usually give rated power somewhere around 2800 rpm. Lots of torque, not much rpm. Also pretty bulky. General aviation engines are large displacement and so are bulky.[8D]
