| Probably you are right Adler, but still it looks different to me. More so because of what you said that new Me 262s are build to the same specs with difference only in engines and avionics. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that this new Me 262s reportedly can change from one seater to two seater configuration according to need and buyer's wish?

| The Me262s are an exact replica, designed and built with the original plans with of course, the few mentioned upgrades. It is so accurate, that the Messerschmitt Foundation has granted the new '262 actual production model assignments. Me262A-1c - model based on the Me262A1-a Me262B-1c - model based on the Me262B-1a Me262A/B-c - convertable model, switches between the A1-a and B-1a By the way, isn't Flugwerk making new P-51Ds also?

| Very cool! It's great to have the originals flying, but I think that if they have more of the reproductions available, it'll lessen the chances of losing one of the originals to accidents.

I mean: There isn't much point in being curled up and getting tucked into a plane where there isn't much space, especially if you have to fly for a while. Plus I guess that even though the pilot's strapped in, there needs to be a bit of space if he - by some reason unknown to me - gets to fly upside down. I know from experience that no matter how hard you strap in, your body gives a little from gravity when you're suspended upside down (- no naughty thoughts, boys!  ), and therefore your body elongates a bit, demanding more space "topside".Plus I think that there might be a little difference in height - from the pilots back then, who grew up in the 1910's and 1920's (The Great Depression/malnourishment) where ppl didn't know as much about the proper nourishment for babies and children, to today's men, who has grown up with proper food, care and under circumstances that might be lightyears better than what could be experienced back then, thus improving their growth, and therefore demanding a larger cockpit canopy. I don't know, it just makes sense to me. *scratches head*

| When I saw it I thought the same thing about the pilot's height BikerBabe. Wheelsup

| If you go on Airliners.net and search for the Me.262 they have some pretty good pictures of this restored flying version |
