| Yeah there are several threads on the new 262s. I posted some video back in 2006 when it flew over here at the ILA in Berlin.

| According to a post card I received in the mail from the collings foundation, they do have one and it flies in the wings of freedom Tour with the P-51, B-17, and B-24. Unfortunately, Me 262 flight training costs $3,400 for 45 minutes! |

| Heres the schedule:Wings of Freedom Schedule - The Collings Foundation Oddly enough on the website it doesn't include the Me 262 while the postcard does. |

| Thanks again doublewasp it looks like I just missed a few shows that were in my area recently. Nothing listed nearby so I will have to keep watching the schedule to see if it changes. Wheelsup

| Didn't know the Collings Foundation had a '262. Would have been cool if they did, and they had brought it with 'em here to town last week  No matter, got to see the P-51, B-24 and B-17 anyway!

| When you look closely at the cockpit conopy on this newly built Me 262s doesn't it look strangely shaped in comparison with genuine Me 262 conopy?

| I'd love to see one of these fly, higher performance and a low pass must take your breath away. I looked at the Collins site, strange is isn't mentioned. I also heard something regards a similar new built FW-190 project |
