The Miller-Bohannon JM-2 Special, named Pushy Galore, is a one-of-a-kind American homebuilt Formula One racing and record-setting aircraft. It was based upon Jim W Miller's Miller JM-2 design, highly modified by Bruce Bohannon.[1] Design and developmentBohannon began construction of Pushy Galore in 1988 and first flew it in the early part of 1989, first entering it in a race in June 1989.[1] The aircraft features a cantilever mid-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed main tricycle landing gear with a retractable nose wheel, a t-tail, nose mounted canard and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1] The aircraft is made from welded steel tubing covered in molded carbon fiber. As required by the Formula One rules, its engine is a {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Continental O-200A.[1] Only one example was ever built.[1] Operational historyBohannan entered the aircraft in the Reno Air Races in 1994, qualifying in third place in the Formula One class, with a speed of {{convert|236.153|mph|km/h|3|abbr=on}}.[1] In 1995 Bohannan flew the aircraft to second place in the Formula One Gold championship race at Reno, Nevada.[1] Bohannan also used the aircraft to set world time-to-climb records in the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) C-1.A class. At AirVenture 1994 Bohannan set a new world time-to-climb record, climbing to {{convert|6000|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in 12 minutes and 50 seconds. In January 1996, Bohannan climbed the aircraft to {{convert|9000|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in 41 minutes and 35 seconds, setting class world time-to-climb, absolute altitude and altitude in horizontal flight records. In July 1996 at AirVenture in Oshkosh, Bohannan set a third FAI class time-to-climb record of {{convert|3000|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in three minutes and eight seconds.[1] After the climb records were set in 1996 Bohannan retired the aircraft and in 1998 donated it to the AirVenture Museum.[1] Bohannon later went on to set many more time-to-climb records in his successor to Pushy Galore, the Bohannon B-1.[2][3] Aircraft on display
