What the?...

A Czech Me-262?!


A quickie from Wiki.

The Czechoslovak aircraft industry continued to produce single-seater
(designated Avia S-92) and two-seater (designated Avia CS-92) variants
of the Me 262 after World War II. From August 1946, a total of nine
single-seater S-92 and three two-seater CS-92 planes were completed
and test flown. They were introduced in 1947 and in 1950 they were
supplied to the 5th Fighter Squadron. These were kept flying as late
as 1957. They were the first jet fighters to serve in the Czechoslovak
Air Force. Both versions are on display at the Prague Aero museum in
Kbely.
