Returning to the skies
We saw this Me262 back in 2016, albeit from a bit of a distance as it did not land on at the Virginia Beach air show we were attending. It is one of a handful of very authentic modern replicas built to airworthy standards. This one is owned by the Military Aviation Museum and tends to operate from a relatively short runway and has suffered brake over heating issues resulting in it being grounded. However, news is that a solution has been found and it should be in the air again this year.

Remember that but l thought the V1 engine was better !!
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly a spectacle. I doubt we'll see anything quite like it again.
DeleteTrue but we did get to see it which was a real treat and the first to come off Avspecs production-line Mosquito. Many surprises that trip.
ReplyDeleteNot least the look on Jan's face when it transpired she had chucked the tickets away! Great improv from you though😁
