If so I sure hope that FHC continues operation now that its founder past away. Tried to get there when the Mossy was scheduled to fly this past year but it was put back a week and we had other plans that weekend.
Gambit21 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 That's the one. Saw the Mossie..and of all things an Me262 coming soon. Never thought I'd see that.

BRADYS555 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) I managed to touch the wing tip of the 262 at the Air Force museum in Ohio when nobody was looking, but I can’t imagine which 262 they managed to acquire ? edit- I looked it up it ... Edited February 13, 2019 by BRADYS555

BRADYS555 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 It’s interesting that they’re going to rebuild the original engines and use them to fly it with, I wonder how many hours they expect to get out of them, using presumably contemporary materials one might think quite a lot, the cost of it though, wow, would really be something to see though
