The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star .

[Shiva]

How about a jet fighter other than the 262.  The p80 was actually late ww2 but it was ww2.

If I remember correctly, there were four P-80s sent to the ETO just before the war ended, two to England and two to Italy, with the pair in Italy making a single flight in what was technically still a combat zone, but did not fly in any area where they might encounter German aircraft. Hardly an operational fighter.

Yep, we've gone over it many a time

Never got anywhere near combat.

Dan I met a JG-1 162 pilot. Wolfgang Gunther Ludwig. In the photo he's the guy on the right in the trench coat.
I met him in Valdosta GA while I was stationed at Moody AFB in 1993. Heck of a nice guy. I was flying Air Warrior then as a member of JG-3.
He'd also flown the ME110 and 109 during the war. He invited me into his home where I met his British wife. After a couple of hours of him patiently answering my questions, I went home full of beer and schnapps. I really enjoyed the afternoon.

Wow!  Very cool Shifty

     Did you meet him at an open house Shifty?  You must have made quite an impression yourself
to get invited to visit him at home

Actually I got his phone number after his visit to the base during an ORI. I called him and expressed my interest in WWII aviation and he invited me to his home.
Like I said he was one heck of a nice guy.
