WOW...I didn't even know they had any operational. Met a guy once who had flown them in combat. He said they were bugger bears to fly, but then he had been flying JU88's prior to that.

This aircraft is recreated to exacting standards from an original ME-262 trainer. The ME-262 carries a continuation of the original work numbers assigned with updated engines and safety equipment.

If you read the web site it states this in not an original ME-262, rather it is a replica. Still very cool to get to fly in one of these especially if you could "attack" the B-24 that in the picture.
