Great 262 restoration. To my surprise, the canopy is the trainer version of the 262. I am surprised that they went with it like that, unless, it IS a trainer.

I am thinking that the original 262 in these pictures is the one that was restored for the Navy. It was originally the one that was rotting outside in PA, and it was a two seater. It was displayed outside until the Me-262 project restored it in return for making patterns from it. That would make this photos rather dated since the original airframe was returned to the Navy some time ago (although I don't know the exact date).

For more recent pictures of the Me-262 project you can view these albums...
