You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I assume these are General Electric CJ610, the J85 derivatives

You just need a pilots license and $4500 and you can fly it in real life.

It's has two lawnmower starter-engines. ;)

Interesting to see that the 262 also has a CG problem with a full aft fuel tank.

Without a doubt, the 262 is one of the most beautiful fighter planes of all time! Thanks for sharing.
