This needs to be perked

In addition, here's the link to the guys that restored that Me 262

[EDIT]I assumed they restored a 262 but it turns out it wasn't

The Me 262 Project was launched in 1993 with a single objective: to reproduce flying examples of the legendary Me 262. Classic Fighter Industries, Incorporated (CFII) was incorporated specifically to administer this effort, and exercised direct control over the project from 1993 until early 2001, when all assets were transferred to the owner's group in preparation for final assembly, the test flight programs, and delivery.

Production has been strictly limited to five aircraft: once these five are complete, no more will ever be produced, now or in the future.

The airplanes are being manufactured as a continuation of the basic Me 262 design.  In fact, they have even been assigned factory serial numbers drawn from the werknummern sequences used on the original 1945 production lines.
