So, do we really need a second jet to serve your personal tastes?
I never voted for it
I don't think and never argued it was for my personal taste
Everyone who votes is almost surely doing it thru "Selfish" personal taste
Everyone's vote is equal IE their taste is no more or less important than yours - this one sinks your question/argument on its own
And the Meteor would IMO be a more fair jet to have than the 262. The 262 gets clobbered if it's caught slow. Ask any seasoned jug or 38 or 51 or 152 (etc) pilot. The Meteor is even slower. And it's a jet, not a prop with props' low end acceleration. I mean other than the historian's cringe at how much of an "aberration" it is, there's not much reason to not want the Meteor. It was in the war. It wouldn't unbalance the arena any more than the 262 does. It'd be fun for
many people. That's pretty much all it takes.
