Re: Me 262 flies again!

Well...it's not really in my backyard...but pretty darn close!! This is at the DVHAA musuem on the Willow Grove Naval Air Station. They have a nice little collection here, including the 2 seat 262. They used to have a lot of planes sitting outside the fences, and then finally decided to restore some and put some in a better facility, basically under instruction from the Navy or the Navy was going to take them away. There's a pretty big story behind it all, but anyways....now the 262 is complete....and sitting inside the nice little museum. It's very hard to get a good shot because the museum is really small, but here's two anyways....and oh yeah, did you guys know the 262 had off road capability?

Thank you for posting the nice pics Waltz. I appreciate it.

That's a nice shine on the nose of the plane too.

It would be in his back yard given the chance
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Me 262 flies again!

I believe Flugwerke were the guys making the 190 replicas. If memory serves they even had permission to use the correct serial numbers. I know that there are at least 2 but there amy be more.
They have a good website which is worth a visit.
