New Me262 roll-out

Hi

I don´t know if most of you heard or read something about it, but a good news is always a pleasure to tell.

The second of the newly-made Me262 - and the first to be a single seat - just made its roll-out (in May, 2005). Look how beautiful it is:

curious why they painted it so grey ? It's bogus like the two seater camo JG 7 bird. It is wonderful to be sure to get these babe's up and running

They already flew both the single seat and the dual seat, and they crashed the single seat one if I remember right!

they have not flown the single seater. the dual seat trainer joke cracked up and still has not gotten back to flying condition. There are enough parts of 6 me 262's to put at least 4 a/c together and whether or not they will fly is up to the refabricators and engine techs

Ah, thank you Erich, but why do you think the trainer is a joke?

So the crash didn't happen then? None were destroyed (and no one killed, of course. )?

the crash was due a fast landing speed and the damage resulted was the collapse of the landing strut, the wing was also damaged
