| There's a reproduction He162, though I don't have any specs on it and I'm not sure how well it performs, if at all... It's at the Wings of Eagles Discovery center in New York.

Skill is your ability to operate the aircraft. I've seen 200 hour pilots do precise landings and instrument approaches and master the aircraft they fly. I've also seen 5,000 hour pilots who are extremely skilled fly defective aircraft, buzz buildings and people, and push landing limits when performing instrument landings. Please understand the difference. Quote:

| According to the inventory page of Chino Planes of Fame they have a static He-162A-1 on display too. I seem to recall seeing it and a static Me-163 Komet when I was there. It hasn't been updated in a while but this is their inventory list of aircraft. Museum Aircraft Inventory - The Air Museum ~ Planes of Fame It says the Me-163 is a replica but just that the He-162 is on static display. Not sure if that means anything. Wheels

| The Collings 262 is powered by CJ610's...same engine that powers Lear Jets...not sure which model of Lear though. It was planned to have the aircraft join the tour in Dallas...that got pushed back to Long Beach...that got pushed back to Moffett...that got pushed back to next year. Sanders ( Sanders Aeronautics) is doing a great job of making this a "turnkey" aircraft that will be able to stand the rigours of touring. I shot these on a photo shoot we did a couple years ago out of Paine Field. Look for it next year. jim harley   |

| Great photos, Jim...must have been awesome to be formed up on that '262! Well, probably would have been even better if you were shooting photos from inside the '262...  I always thought it would be cool if they built at least a single "Narwahl" replica (Me262A1/U4) Thanks for the info, by the way!

| Great looking plane. It's a shame more did not survive.
