Michael Jackson Dies of Reported Cardiac Arrest

Paramedics Reportedly Performed CPR Before Rushing Jackson to Hospital

Pop star Michael Jackson has died at age 50 after suffering a cardiac arrest, according to media reports.

Los Angeles TV station KTLA reports that Los Angeles fire officials said they responded to a 911 call at Jackson’s home and that Jackson wasn’t breathing when they arrived; paramedics performed CPR and rushed him to UCLA Medical Center, although the hospital, due to privacy rules, could not confirm that.

[Editor's Update: Although not denying that Jackson died of cardiac arrest, Los Angeles County Coroner spokesman Craig Harvey, after the initial autopsy on Friday, says the cause of death will be deferred until further toxicology tests can be conducted. He anticipates final results in four to six weeks.]

In a cardiac arrest, the heart stops working properly. A cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack, but it can happen because of a heart attack, notes Douglas Zipes, MD, MACC, distinguished professor at Indiana University School of Medicine and past president of the American College of Cardiology.

Zipes explains that “cardiac arrest is a heart rhythm disturbance when the bottom chamber of the heart, the ventricles, beat an at extremely rapid rate — 4 to 600 times a minute.”

Zipes says that heart rhythm “prevents that bottom chamber from effective contraction and pumping blood to the brain and to the rest of the body, and death results if it’s not reversed within four or five minutes, generally.”

According to Zipes, when that heart rhythm disturbance, which is called ventricular fibrillation, happens, the bottom chambers of the heart are “like a bag of squiggly worms without an effective squeeze, and no blood gets pumped to the rest of the body, and without the necessary oxygen in the blood vessels going to the brain, and so on, the brain then begins to die.”

CPR can help keep blood flowing, but it would take an electrical shock to the heart — either from electrical paddles called defibrillators or from an internal heart device — to shock the heart back to a normal rhythm.

“Some sort of blood flow has to be initiated, whether it’s with CPR or with the shock that terminates the fibrillation and restores an effective contraction,” says Zipes.

Zipes notes that in 30% to 50% of cardiac arrests, “that event is the first manifestation of underlying heart disease. So you may not have chest pain, you may not have shortness of breath, you may not have anything” as a warning sign.

Just over a year ago, NBC journalist Tim Russert died after a cardiac arrest. Russert was being treated for his heart disease risk factors; Jackson’s previous heart health hasn’t been made public.

The Ten Best Bare Beaches in the World

Below are 10 of the best beaches for baring all. All details are taken from Bare Beaches, which lists over 200 other popular spots for nude bathing around the world.

1. Leucate Plage, France

Mediterranean coast, north of Perpignan

This superb bare beach has 1 km of fine golden sand, the classic Mediterranean beach. The water is normally calm and the shore shelves gently into the sea making it popular with families. Three naturist resorts share the coastline but the beach is open to all and there’s plenty of space for first-time skinny-dippers and lifelong nudists alike. Go north from Perpignan on the main N9 and turn right on to the D83, signposted Port Bacares. After 9 kms turn left on to the D627, drive through Port Leucate and the bare beach is on the right. Park on the road – easy public access between Aphrodite Village and Club Oasis, the naturist resorts.

2. Playa Es Pregons Gran, Balearic islands

Majorca south coast

This wonderful little bare bay has a perfect crescent of fine yellow sand, washed by a sea so transparent it looks more like the Caribbean. There are no beach bars so bring your picnic and drinks. It’s the jewel in the crown of the popular Es Trenc beach area.

The route to the beach is a pleasant 15 minute walk along the shore, heading north from the resort town of Colonia Sant Jordi. Start at the Hotel Marques Del Palmer, and it’s the third bay along. The fourth bay, if you walk further, also happens to be a bare beach, part of the much larger Es Trenc beach.

3. Haulover Beach, Florida USA

Sunny Isles, north Miami

Situated in the south of the ‘Sunshine State’, this bare sandy beach has a huge following of visitors from across the globe. With glorious weather for most of the year and the vibrant city of Miami on the doorstep, it’s not difficult to see why. The bare area is more than 800 yards long and has its own lifeguards and unobtrusive police patrols. Refreshments, sunbeds and umbrellas are available.

The beach is at Haulover Beach Miami-Dade county regional park, on Collins Avenue (A1A), just north of fashionable Bal Harbour. There is a large car park ($5) right by the beach.

5. Banana Beach, Greece

Skiathos, near Koukounaries, on the south-west coast

Banana beach is the collective name for three lovely sandy bays well loved by nude bathers. Before you ask, the name refers to the fact the beaches are yellow and curved. View photos of sunbathers at this beach here.

During peak season bare bathers mainly use Little Banana, one of the smaller coves, as clothed holidaymakers descend on the main beach. Little Banana is often called the best bare beach in Greece, although there is plenty of competition for the accolade. There is a bus terminus and car park at the end of the Koukounaries road, coming from Skiathos town. The footpath to Banana takes 15 mins through olive groves.

6. Valalta, Croatia

Istria, near Rovinj

If you feel the need for a truly naked de-stress, Valalta is everything you could wish for. It’s so good the nudist campsite here was voted the best in Croatia last year – among all sites, not just bare ones. With two miles of sand and rock beaches, including secluded coves, lined by olive trees and vineyards, this nude beach and village are well loved by bare beach connoisseurs.

The beach is on the Istrian peninsula, 60 miles south of Trieste and five miles from Rovinj. You can visit for the day (€2 entry) or book holidays through UK nude beach specialist Peng Travel (0845 345 8345) or www.valalta.hr

7. Playa de Maspalomas, Canary Islands

Near Playa del Ingles, southern Gran Canaria

Hundreds of acres of sand dunes, looking just like the Sahara, frame the beautiful beach between Maspalomas and the popular resort of Playa del Ingles. It’s 3 kms from one end to the other and over 1 km deep. The bare areas, like the swimsuited ones, have sunbeds and umbrellas for hire. For a quieter spot, walk into the vast expanse of dunes, but be careful not to get lost!

You can walk to the bare beach areas from either end, although the walk from Maspalomas town is slightly shorter.

8. Euronat, France

Atlantic coast, north-west of Bordeaux

The south-west coast of France is almost one vast nude beach, stretching over 100 miles from Biarritz to the Gironde. Among stiff competition, the nude resort beach of Euronat stands out for its clean golden sand, supervised swimming and friendly atmosphere. Thousands of happy families gather here, and the beach is open to both nudist campers and day visitors alike. Other highly regarded resort beaches heading south are Montalivet CHM, La Jenny and Arnaoutchot.

From the seaside town of Montalivet-les-Bains, drive north on the D102 coast road. After 3 kms the road turns sharply right inland. Park and walk on to the beach – the main bare area is to the right.

9. Plakias Beach, Greece

Plakias town, south-west Crete

A fabulous setting of cliffs, mountains and a huge sweep of golden sand make this beach a wonderful place for all-over tanning and fine snorkelling. The sea shelves gently, making it suitable for families, and there are showers available. Refreshments are brought to the beach in season, and umbrellas are available.

The nude area is the last section of the beach, to the left as you face the sea, and unsurprisingly it is often the most popular part of the whole bay.

10. Les Grottes Plage, France

Ile du Levant, Mediterranean

This gem of a beach on the magical island of Levant is reached by an easy coastal footpath 10 mins walk from the quayside. A small natural cove of white sand slides gently into the turquoise sea, providing excellent swimming and snorkelling. The easiest way to get here is by ferry from Le Lavandou, between St Tropez and Toulon.

Seventy years ago Ile du Levant was the birthplace of nude leisure in France. Today, there is a tiny resident community and lots of holiday accommodation. Minimal clothing is normally worn in the village of Heliopolis, but the rest can be enjoyed as nature intended.

20 best deserted beaches

It is travel’s Holy Grail – powder-white sand, a turquoise blue sea and not another soul in sight. But unspoilt, secret beaches do still exist, and, as Gemma Bowes reveals, you don’t always have to go to the ends of the earth to find one…

Europe

1 Luskentyre
West coast of Harris, Scotland

Resembling a South Pacific tropical island, the west coast of Harris is edged with wide beaches of silvery and golden sand that are possibly the finest in the UK. But the island’s far-flung location means few mainlanders haul their buckets and spades up there. Drive between Luskentyre and Traigh Scarasta and you’ll spot dozens of gorgeous empty beaches, including the long, narrow Luskentyre.

McKinlay Kidd’s (08707 606 027; www.seescotlanddifferently.co.uk Hebridean Hopscotch tour takes in the isles of Harris, Syke, Barra and Uist, and includes six nights’ B&B, plus ferry crossing for a car from Oban, returning to Ullapool, from £480 per person.

2 Vallee De L’ortolo
Corsica

Deep in the sparsely populated Vallee de l’Ortolo in the southern region of Sartène, lie hidden beaches and secret walking trails, few of them known to those not staying at the U Cavaddu Senza Nome (00 33 495 771 847) campsite and riding centre. Once a major wine-growing region until phylloxera lice put paid to all but a couple of the vineyards, the valley feels wild and abandoned and the beaches make fine solitary retreats and a quiet alternative to the famous Roccapina beach to the east. The valley is three miles south of Sartène, off the N196. Return flights to Figari from Gatwick and Manchester are available from www.thomsonfly.com from £89.

3 Castrocucco
Basilicata, Italy

The Basilicata region is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Among the country’s poorest regions, it is rugged and unspoilt. Dozens of gorgeous secret beaches await walkers who conquer the twisty coastal paths, one of the prettiest being Castrocucco, a 15-minute drive south of Maratea, a bustling fishing port. As well as sweeping coastal views south towards Calabria, it has a ruined castle and dramatic blowholes in the rocks along the shore. Headwater (01606 720 199; www.headwater.com) runs walking holidays to the region, including hotel accommodation and flights to Naples from £879pp.

4 Ransvik
Sweden

This hidden beach in the Kullaberg nature reserve in the Skane area of southern Sweden has great cliffs from which to fling yourself into the North Sea. It also has a somewhat sordid history: it is said to be where Swedish sin was born when it became a unisex beach at the beginning of the 20th century and, unusually, allowed men and women to swim together. Richard Gere, seduced by the atmosphere of seclusion and privacy was caught out by the paparazzi swimming naked with a mystery Swedish woman there.

A selection of cottages in Skane are available from www.bookcottages.com, including two-bedroom places from £170 a week. Flights to Malmo from Stansted cost from around £35 return with Ryanair (www.ryanair.com).

5 Fakistra
Pelion, Greece

Fakistra is a sandy beach with rocky outcrops at each side creating a turquoise lagoon, with a waterfall and cool pool behind it. It’s a gorgeous hidden spot in a quiet part of the Pelion Peninsula, north of Athens, and a 90-minute walk down a cobbled path from the tiny, car-free hamlet of Damouchari, which passes an ancient school where Greek language and culture were taught in secret during the oppressive Ottoman regime, and winds through overgrown olive groves. Stay in the peaceful and bohemian Damouchari Hotel, which also looks out on to its own white pebble beach, with Sunvil (020 8568 4499; www.sunvil.co.uk), from £487pp per week with flights and B&B.

The Americas & The Caribbean

6 Casperson Beach
Sarasota, Florida

Windswept, untouched and covered in shells – and a few pre-historic sharks’ teeth – Casperson Beach on the Gulf Island of Sarasota, off Florida’s west coast feels like it’s a million miles away from the region’s theme-parks and shopping malls. A nature trail leads from the beach to freshwater and saltwater marshes, mangrove swamps and tidal flats. Sarasota has plenty of theatres, museums and nature parks too. Details from Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Island tourism (020 7681 6275; www.sarasotaandfloridasgulfislands.co.uk). Flights to Tampa with United Airlines from Heathrow cost from £440 at Flight Centre (0870 499 0040). Seven nights at the Inn at the Beach (00 1 800 255 8471; www.innatthebeach.com) cost from £484 for a double.

7 Cooper Jack Beaches
Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands

Providenciales is just one of the 49 islands that make up Turks and Caicos. Although it’s not uninhabited, there are some secluded spots as most visitors don’t stray from the stunning, busier beaches – such as 12-mile long Grace Bay – which have baby-powder sand and turquoise water.

Stay at the Harbour Club Villas (00 1649 941 5748; www.harbourclubvillas.com) on the peaceful south side of the island, hire a kayak, and your hosts Barry and Marta will tell you where to find the deserted coves of the Cooper Jack beaches. There are six one-bedroom villas in the complex, and the beaches seldom attract those who aren’t staying there. A villa for two costs from £98 a night. Flights to Providenciales from around £700 return with British Airways (0870 850 9850; www.ba.com).

8 Kaupoa Beach
Molokai Island, Hawaii

About 2,400 miles from the nearest continent, the Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated on the globe, the sensation of which can be heightened by visiting their hidden beaches. Once a closely guarded local secret, Kaupoa Beach on Molokai, one of Hawaii’s least visited islands – has had a small increase in visitors since Molokai Ranch (00 1 808 552 2824; www.molokairanch.com) opened its ‘tentalows’, or luxury tent cabins, there, but it is still deathly quiet. Kaupoa beach has toothpaste-white coves and the surrounding landscape resembles an African savannah with its red soil. Nearby Kahalepohaku and Kapukuwahine beaches on the southwest shore are also deserted, though the sea can be too dangerous for swimming when it’s rough and there are strong currents, especially in winter. Tentalows for two cost from £200 a night. Flights to Hawaii and on to Molokai cost around £750 with Continental Airlines (00 1 800 231 0856; www.continentalairlines.com).

9 Playon de Mismaloya
Mexico

The only way to the private Playón de Mismaloya beach, 60 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, is on the rowing boat used to cross the estuary from Hotelito Desconocido. The pristine beach extends for 40 miles in front of the hotel’s stilt houses, and it is one of the country’s, and indeed the world’s, most important sanctuaries for turtles, which hatch between June and January. Visitors can spot birds nesting in the wetland lagoon’s wild vegetation all year round. There is no electricity, so at sundown candles are lit throughout the hotel.

Doubles from £166 a night from travel intelligence.net. Flights to Puerto Vallarta cost around £700 with First Choice (0870 850 3999; www.firstchoice.co.uk).

10 Chacocente Wildlife Refuge
Nicaragua

Apart from the occasional gap-year student tagging turtles for a conservation project, you are unlikely to see anyone else on this protected spot of beach on the Pacific coast to the east of Managua, which is only accessible by horse or in a four-wheel drive. The beach is a small part of the wildlife reserve, which is dominated by the largest tract of unspoilt dry tropical forest ecosystem in Nicaragua and runs along the Río Escalante. Rare Paslama turtles lay their eggs here between July and January. There is a campsite there, but little else, see www.jinotepenicaragua.com and www.intur.gob.ni.

Flights to Managua cost around £650 with Iberia Airlines (0870 609 0500; www.iberia.com).

11 Rio Frutilla
Bahia Arenal, Chile

The remote beaches and fjords of the Pacific coast of southern Chile are in one of the world’s great wildernesses. Dolphins, penguins and sea lions are year-round residents in Bahía Arenal, and may be your sole companions. Travel there is tricky, and involves a flight to Santiago, one to Puerto Montt, a light aircraft to Chaitén, a drive to the mouth of the Río Palena, and a boat to Bahía Arenal. Once there you will find hospitality and good grub at the Bahía Arenal lodge, and can spend time sea kayaking, fishing and lazing on the beach.

Cazenove and Loyd (020 7384 2332; www.cazloyd.com) offers a week all- inclusive at the lodge, including all transport from £3,898pp.

Africa

12 Rocktail Bay
South Africa

The journey to Rocktail Bay may be complex – flight to Johannesburg, internal flight to tiny Richards Bay airport, single-engine aircraft to KwaZulu-Natal – but this guarantees you’ll feel like you’re alone in the world once you arrive. There is a 10-chalet treehouse eco-lodge in the Maputaland Coastal Forest and Marine Reserve, and though the diving is some of the best in the world, only one diving boat is allowed on the 37-mile coastline, which is sheltered by virgin forest and frequented by nesting turtles. Rainbow Tours (020 7226 1004; www.rainbowtours.co.uk) offers six nights at the lodge, with flights, from £1,595pp.

13 Bosluisbaii Beach
Namibia

Barren, rugged and breathtaking, the Skeleton Coast is an incredible place, where the desert meets the sea. The beaches are spectacularly eerie, swathed in fog and covered in whale bones. Swimming is dangerous as the sea is cold with strong currents. Particularly remote is Bosluisbaii beach, in the north of the Skeleton Coast near the Kunene River mouth, which you need special permission to access. This can be arranged by the Schoeman family who run safaris and have lived in the area for decades, so are secret beach experts. A four-day Schoemans’ Safari uses light aircraft to fly between deserted beaches. Available from Cazenove and Loyd (020 7384 2332; www.cazloyd.com) from £3,157pp including return flights to Windhoek, and all food and drink.

14 Guludo Beach
Mozambique

Elephants pick mangoes from trees and dugongs wallow in the shallows eating seagrass on this virgin white beach in the Quirimbas National Park in the north of Mozambique. The park was created in 2002 and comprises the 11 southernmost islands of the Quirimbas archipelago, plus a vast expanse of mainland. Guests staying at the Guludo Beach Lodge can explore the historic Ibo Island, once a major slave and ivory trading point, dive the unexplored coral reefs and join fishermen in their dug-out canoes. A week costs from £1,875pp including flights to Pemba, via Johannesburg, and an overnight at Pemba Beach Hotel with Rainbow Tours (020 7226 1004; www.rainbowtours.co.uk).

Asia

15 Whale Island
Vietnam

Hammocks hang outside the rustic bungalows in the only resort here and hiking trails littered with flowers snake up from the beach while whales circle in the surrounding seas. Situated just north of Nha Trang, it’s almost deserted and has some of the most secluded beaches in Vietnam. Between February and October the scuba diving and snorkelling are unbelievable – environmental efforts in the area have seen the number of marine species increase from 40 to more than 170 in recent years.

A two-night stay is included in Gecko Travel’s (023 9225 8859; www.geckotravel.com) 21-day Hanoi to Saigon tour, from £1,545pp.

16 Koh Lone
Thailand

Phuket may now be as well known as Disneyland, but just off its coast, the tiny, timeless island of Koh Lone offers seclusion away from the crowds. Stretching just two miles east to west, and 2,600ft north to south, it’s only accessible by a 20-minute longtail boat journey. Nothing has changed there for decades: there are no roads, no vehicles and it is home only to a few fishermen who spend most of their time on boats, leaving the beaches free for the few tourists who visit. Those looking for total isolation can take a boat trip to the empty beaches of, among others, Coral Island and Buddha Island.

Rooms at the Baan Mai Cottages cost from £25pp per night, B&B through Travelbag (0800 082 5000; www.travelbag.co.uk). Flights to Bangkok cost around £700 with British Airways (0870 850 9850; www.ba.com)

17 Nellikunnu Beach
Kerala

Swaying coconut palms, the roar of the sea and the fragrance of Thulasi in the air bring India to life on the virgin Nellikunnu Beach in Kerala. It is accessible to those staying at the Thapovan holistic hotel, which specialises in Ayurvedic treatments and yoga. Some rooms are in lush gardens and others are built on a cliff overlooking the beach. Guests can take tours to neighbouring villages, markets and festivals and try traditional Keralan food. Rooms at Thapovan (00 91 471 248 0453; www.thapovan.com) cost from £34 a night. Flights to Trivandrum, 11 miles north, cost from £428 with Emirates (0870 243 2222; www.emirates.com).

18 Vigan Island
Philippines

Although it’s popular with nature lovers and not far off the beaten path, you won’t find any beach parties on the 45 islands that make up the El Nido region of the Philippines and it isn’t difficult to locate your own private stretch of dreamy sand. Aside from some amazing dive sites, beaches are what El Nido does best, and every nook and cranny has a fine white sandy cove between the rainforest, mangroves, coral reefs, and limestone cliffs.

If you stay in the El Nido Resort (00 632 894 5644; www.elnidoresorts.com) on Miniloc Island you can kayak or take a boat trip and picnic to pockets of white sand on Paglugaban, Entalula and Pangulasian islands, though the best is Vigan, also known as ‘snake island’ on account of a wiggly sand spit that’s only visible at low tide, with shallow swimming on both sides.

Rooms cost from £106 a night, plane transfer from Manila £120 return. Flights to Manila from around £500 with Cathay Pacific (020 8834 8888; www.cathaypacific.com).

Australasia

19 New Chums Beach
New Zealand

It may be tricky to reach New Chums Beach, nine miles east of Coromandel town centre, but that means its wide swath of pale sand backed by wooded hills is usually deserted. To reach it, you need to wade through an estuary at low tide, then hike along the shoreline and over a headland, which takes around 20 minutes (for directions see www.coromandeltown.co.nz). Alternatively the amazing Otama Bay, also in the Coromandel area and off the Black Jack Road out of Whitianga, offers empty white sands.

Stop off at both on a 14-day fly-drive trip starting in Auckland and ending in Christchurch, from £1,479pp with Virgin Holidays (0870 990 4215; www.virgin.com) including car hire, accommodation and flights.

20 Macushla Beach
Queensland, Australia

Hinchinbrook is the world’s largest island national park and the largest continental island in the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, but visitors are unlikely to see many people as only 50 guests are allowed to stay at the only resort, The Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge, at one time.

The steep cliffs, valleys and waterfalls, and secluded North Shepherd, Macushla and South Shepherd beaches offer plenty of space for the few guests to spread out and admire their natural surrounds, the wonderful sunsets and the resident turtles and cockatoos. The island is separated from the mainland by the deep, mangrove-fringed Hinchinbrook Channel and can only be reached on a 40-minute boat trip from Cardwell, the oldest town in tropical north Queensland.

Treehouse rooms cost from £125 a night for two people, beach cabins from £69 (for up to seven) at Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge (00 61 7 4066 8270; www.hinchinbrookresort.com.au). Flights to Cairns from around £660 with Trailfinders (0845 058 5858; www.trailfinders.com).

10 weird/fun facts about the human body

1. The human brain is the world’s most powerful computer. When it comes to sheer computational strength, today’s state-of-the-art processors are still no match for the human mind. According to experts, the average brain has a storage capacity of about 100 terabytes, while the typical PC offers only a fraction of that, about 100 gigabytes.

2. The human body has roughly 60,000 miles of blood vessels. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the body’s blood vessels, which include the arteries, veins, and capillaries, would be 60,000 miles long if they were laid out end to end. That’s approximately the distance you’d need to travel if you wanted to circle the globe two and a half times.

3. The human nose can remember 50,000 different scents. Although you’d probably never want to recall that many aromas, it’s nice to know that your nose is doing its job. That said, you shouldn’t be too impressed–humans have about 5 million odor receptors, while dogs, depending on the breed, may have more than 220 million.

4. A human sneeze can exceed 100 miles per hour. People generally inhale air slowly, but when they sneeze, air rushes out of their nostrils at 100 miles per hour or more. It should come as no surprise that it’s so easy to catch colds and flu; a sneeze’s velocity enables it to propel germs up to 12 feet.

5. The human body contains about 32 million bacteria per square inch. There’s no denying it: Every one of us is basically a petri dish for armies of microscopic critters. In fact, the human body contains 10 times more bacteria per square inch than the average toilet bowl does.

6. The largest internal organ in the human body is the small intestine. Contrary to what its name might suggest, the small intestine–the portion of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine–is anything but petite. In fact, if you unfolded it, you’d find it was roughly 23 feet long.

7. Three hundred million cells die every minute in the human body. It might sound like an awful lot, but it’s insignificant compared with the overall number of cells in your body. Scientists estimate that the average human body contains between 10 and 50 trillion cells, so it can afford to lose a few here and there.

8. Human stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve razorblades. According to scientists, human stomach acid is seriously powerful stuff–so strong, in fact, that it’s capable of dissolving razorblades. But whatever you do, don’t attempt to swallow one.

9. Humans produce enough saliva to fill one or two swimming pools. Saliva helps to keep the mouth lubricated and plays a key role in the digestive process. Most experts believe that humans produce between 0.75 and l.5 liters of the fluid a day, which means that during your lifetime, you’ll produce enough to fill one or two swimming pools.

10. Humans have as many hairs per square inch as chimpanzees. They might look a lot furrier than we do, but according to biologists, we have the same amount of hairs per square inch as our primate friends. In fact, when scientists at the University of Washington, Seattle, sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee, they found that humans were 96 percent similar to the great ape species.

Mustang X-1 and Challenger Vapor: US Air Force Supercars

Challenger Vapor US Air ForceThe US Air Force is going large with a new tech-themed recruitment drive to get your attention. They’ve teamed up with the folks from Galpin Auto Sports (MTV stars from Pimp My Ride) and the result is a couple of supercars that have blown us away, almost literally.

First is a fighter jet inspired Ford Mustang X-1 that features a full jet cockpit with a single ejector seat placed centrally. Power comes from a nitr0-fed 4.6L V8 engine that features a cold air intake, hot rod cams and long tube headers that help it throttle its inner 500 ponies. The other one is a radar-absorbing stealth-black painted Challenger Vapor that also keeps  its military appearance. It features one-off carbon fiber wheels, a shaker hood, proximity sensors and a 360- degree camera with a quarter mile range, and impresses with its stealth exhaust that helps it run in near silence.
