The smallest jet aircraft in the world - BD-5J

The smallest jet aircraft in the world - BD-5J
BD-5 - the smallest jet aircraft in the world created in the 1960s by Jim Bede - US aircraft designer. The BD-5 has a small fuselage, small engine installed in a compartment, and small propeller (or jet engine in the BD-5J variant) in the rear.
BD-5J Looks awesome, it very small and convenient, it can be carried with yourself to the outdoors and when you will feel bored, start flying =)

    Are there any flying examples of this jet?

    I know that the one listed by Guinness as the smallest jet has never actually flown.
