Pretty ain't they.

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

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Saw a single seat ME-262 at airshow in Houston. I think it was a kit.

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.

With a cock under the cockpit and an FU on the tail. Only fitting. One my five faves (though I like the FJ Navy variant).
