Title: Heads up in Scottsdale - Me262 on its way
Post by: CMC Airboss on June 11, 2006, 04:49:15 PM
The first new build Me262 took off from Paine Field about noon time sunday (June 11th) on its delivery flight to its new home in Scottsdale, Arizona.  It should be there any time now.  This is the two-seater version Me262-b1c "White 1."

Enjoy

I was hoping that someone in the Phoenix area had taken photos upon it's arrival.  I was notified after the 262 had left Everett, WA and was not there to take any shots.

In the meantime, here's a video of it's single seat sibling performing at an airshow in Germany a couple of weeks ago.  The first public demo in more than a half a decade.

I was hoping to actually see and hear the plane fly in that video. Unfortunately, it appears the media is indeed the same everywhere. I never could here the plane for the constant blabbering. Thanks for trying though, I guess it was better than nothing at all.

If it's still in Scottsdale at the airpark,. I'll shoot pics of it... or rather get Nuke to, that guy has a wicked sweet camera kit.

Is it still in Scottsdale?

Nice pics, Rip.

Question is, how much would anyone want to spend for a ride in it?

I'd pay whatever it took.

One fine looking airplane!
