Slobber...slobber....drool drool....

I can't imagine the money and amount of flight training I'd need to be qualified for one....but if the right lottery ticket appeared, I'd sure do it!

Think I'm crazy? Go check out this URL and listen to your brain rationalize having one!

I've been keeping my eye on that project for a few years LePaul. I'm planning a pilgrimage to check out the operation in April.

Let me know when...might go with ya!

Just has to be seen!

Upon researching, apparently the only Ar-234B in existance is at the Smithsonian. Something else I'd like to check out!

Hmm, 262's are already pretty scarce. I got my elves working overtime, but they have their...nightly...duties as well. Cannot guarantee anything.

Good luck Paul, unles you want to see it they are opening a museum at the Dulles airport and in there the 234 will be present. brady and I went to the Garber facility where it is housed and unfortunately it was in locked doors and could not be seen

Trust me all the good german planes were behind Area 51 and could not be seen was a total pisser to the trip but we saw so much that made up for the few things we really wanted to see.
