Stormbirds Me-262 project

Wed Jun 29, 2005 12:57 pm

It appears the first single seat variant has been completed. Does anyone know any details concerning the new owners or the status of the existing build machines?

Apparently, as of May '05, Stormbirds and Air Assets International have joined to restore 2 Me-109's as well.

Guessing from their fact sheet..is the 262 they're referring to as Tango-
Tango going to become Red 13?

Originalboxcar..there is a data sheet on another page which states % of
completion...I'm assuming Tango Tango is the one at 70% completion,
which would be upgraded by now.

Yes, Tango Tango is Red 13. When I saw it back in February it was more than 70%, and I believe it has flown since then.

I have read the single seat version is going to the
Messerschmitt Foundation in Germany.

And pressumably to gain the famous red nose, as in Wk-Nr 110559, as flown by, arguably, the Jagdflieger's greatest Experten, Heinz Bar, when Kommandeur III./EJG 2 at Lechfeld, March 1945......?
