SWEET PICS! Thanks.
Is that a Ki-84?
Surely if you went to that museum you took more pics. Where did you stay while in the area?

It's great that someone has acquired these aircraft and put them back into
flyable condition. All it takes is money and time.

Great pics. Does anyone know if the Germans ever put the manned Buzz Bomb into operational service? I've heard conflicting reports on whether they actually used them or not.
A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon.
I don't think they were ever made operational. From what I've read Hanna Reitsch was the only test pilot to fly one and live through it.

Pretty poor suicide machine design if the only pilots to die in it were the test pilots:\
