Peter--

Interesting idea, but I think they've only one aircraft with which this could be done. Most of the jets are on loan and not, in any case, fully serviceable; but the ex-Swiss Hunter F.58, J-4006, probably could be readied for runups. If you're thinking of Bruntingthorpe-style taxi runs, though, sadly that doesn't work at Mt.Hope anymore; most of the field is in fact invisible from the CWH ramp, with the terminal (soon to be much larger, too) to the northwest and the UPS facility due north...The price of progress!
