Default New ME-262s over Berlin

Jay

Go to Google and enter "Me 262" and fall down to the Stormbirds site.

Two aircraft have been built (they use the US J34 engine's). The two
seat is here in US and single seat was sent to Germany in payment for
letting the US Company build orignal copies of birds I understand?

The two seat version is here in US (Payne Field north of Seattle) and
the single seat (Me 262 Tango Tango) was sent to Germany some months
ago via transport where it was reassembled and flew in the ILA 2000
Airshow at Berlin.

They are lookinbg for someone to order and they have most parts for
three more airframes as I recall.

See where it has been over 100 F at places In IA. Too hot for me up
there any more )

All the best.

I've been following this saga for the last few years, and had recently
been wondering whatever happened to the guys that were supposedly
building "new" World War II-era ME-262 jet fighters.

From the looks of that awesome video, there's no need to wonder any

longer -- that baby FLIES!

If anyone can strip the raw video from that awful Google format, I'd
love to host that on our webpage. Email it to me at
, please.
