We've got a meteor flying the airshow circuits, built in 1949 so almost as old as this one.

Post by: noman on December 19, 2014, 09:44:23 AM: Saw a single seat ME-262 at airshow in Houston. I think it was a kit.

Post by: Nypsy on December 19, 2014, 09:59:29 AM: I believe the 262's currently flying are re-productions with GE engines.

It is a reproduction. There are no original Me 262's flying.

It was also brought to my attention that Chino has a flying P-59. Which should be older than all those.
