by the look of that video, the 262 accelerates like mad on runway compared to ours in AH. Something maybe to look at.

It has different (new) engines... IIRC the plane is not "restored", but a newly built replica. I was there in Berlin, in ILA2006, last May and saw that one with my own eyes

... t'was impressive

I wondered about that. The cost of restoring those engines would be about the same as starting from scratch and custom building 2 engines from alot of stock materials. The title claimed it was a restoration (i think). Thanks for the clarification.

there is were there being built . (10 mins from my house)

the have used J-85 engines that came out of the T-39's , those are amost double the thrust and 1 million times more reliable then the old Jumo's.

I believe theres only one Me-262 that still has working jumo's and its in a museum .
