MikeRL411 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Above two, most likely late Checz production versions post WW2! They got rights over the production sites and churned them out for their own uses. so beware of "genuine" WW2 Messerscmitzes 262s! The P51 would have ended these pix long before the WWW!

The ME-262 was built in Everett, Washington by Legend Flyers As of now, there are no original ME-262 jets flying, but, there is one currently under restoration to flight by the Flying Heritage Collection, also in Washington, that will use and original airframe with original, yet modified, Jumo engines. Most of the Czech built planes, with the exception of museum examples, are gone. 2 Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 The ME-262 we had in Denton 2 years ago, belongs to the Collings Foundation. It has modern avionics and GE CJ-610 engines from a Lear 25. 3 Quote Link to comment

Good old Turbojets. Just like the old Jet Commander. If you have to hold more than 10 min. at the end of the runway, you call for a fuel truck. Ah, the good old days. At least they sounded like a real hairy chested, macho, fire breathing jet. Now all the efficient high bypass turbofans just have a whining sound and are quieter than Beech Bonanza on takeoff. What's the difference between a jet engine and a jet pilot? The jet engine quits whining when the flight is over! 3 Quote Link to comment

Soon they are going to put ride along mechanics on 787s, like they used to do with race cars back in the 20s. :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
