Should think so too - examination of the FAA registry shows the 
powerplant to be "turbo-jet"!

I guess this is just finger trouble somewhere - but it's not the only 
one; Bruce & Suzy Armstrong's N121XS is registered with a 
"turbo-prop" powerplant. Maybe that is easier to explain as theirs 
has a 914 (ie turbocharged) Rotax; but as far as I know, Jim's N15JN 
has a (normally aspirated) 912S, so less likelihood of such confusion 
there ...

While on the subject of the FAA register, I wonder why Jim Brown's 
N398JB is registered with only 1 seat, whereas Dennis Vories' N7552Z 
apparently has 3!

Happy flying!

Rowland
