Default ME 262's: Are there any left . . . .

Are there any ME 262's left in the world restored to full flying condition?

I sort of doubt it. I've never seen any photos of any that aren't bottled up in a museum. Just curious if anyone knows of any.

But man! Wouldn't that be cool??

You left out the one at the "Planes of Fame" museum in Cali. It isn't a flyer though currently.

it's a recon version Terry, have seen it, touched it and if the security chaps had not been there would of jumped in the cockpit but ex-pilot of KG 51 Hans Busch was on hand to give us a full run down in Deutsche of starting and running on the field right before take off privately. I have several nice pics of the bird along with the former "real" pilot at the helm

E ~ by the way Mütke was a pretty cool guy to chat with have some nice info directly from him

JC check your stats again on Yellow 3 the A-1b of II./JG 7 please, II. gruppe never had their own jets they were simply a propaganda papaer outfit to purpose the full JG strength of 3 gruppen for JG 7 which did not happen
