New ME 262

www.stormbirds.com...

Buy your own brand new ME 262.

Looks like they only have a couple on contract and wont
be building anything except museum pieces if they get
no more purchases. This would be a good investment
for air show types.
Love flying the sim version of this, but like the original,
you get in trouble and you go down with it. Manual
open-and-jump didnt work too well with these and
no ejection seat.
J-85 is real nice improvement.
Great find !

This has already been covered, but it never hurts to draw attention to the grand daddy of all jets. I'll take two please.

The ME262 is one of my all time favorite designs. Unlike other early jet designs, the 262 still looks modern and sleek to me.

There is an original 262 at the National Air&Space museum in DC.
What a beaut of a plane.

Thanks for the link!

This thread may be 19 years old, but more info about the Me 262 replicas with US-built jet engines, including a list of Me 262 production replicas, can be found here:
en.wikipedia.org...

Two of the Me 262 replicas built by the Me 262 Project are replicas of the Me 262B-1 trainer variant, which was also the basis of the Me 262B-1/U1 interim night fighter and unbuilt Me 262B-2 night fighter.

Powered by Learjet motors.Not sure any are flying now.Peter Allen was rebuilding one with its original Jumo engines that had been rebuilt using modern materials and techniques to extend their life.After he died the project has been under a cloud.
