I just saw a episode of NOVA about the stress on fighter pilots. In it there was some clips of Me-262s on the ground. Does anyone know where I could find more? I don't remember ever really seeing much Me-262 footage before, it was really neat!

YouTube hosts an amazing collection of videos of all sorts. (And it's not just idiots falling off their skateboards.)

Here are a couple of wartime Me262 clips:

You can search for more. To save them, there are a number free utilities for grabbing SWF videos from there. You'll also need a utility capable of playing files in SWF format.

Thank you very much, the clips I saw were pulled from both of those. I should have looked on YouTube, I just figured it wouldn't have something that obscure!

Check out m262 vs b17 on yourtube

truly shows how desperate it must have been up there for both sides!

Wow!! ...those four 30mm cannons can sure do a number on a B-17!

I found an easy way to save them,although it took me a while to figure it out!Find where your browser stores its cache( I use Firefox,which on my comp is:

C:\Documents and Settings\James\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\az6ygkw6.default\cache

Internet Explorer is:

C:\Documents and Settings\James\Local Settings

),then empty it throught the browser options ( makes it easier to find the files if you have been doing a lot of surfing).

Then go and watch the vid,once its complete go to the cache folder,and look for the megabyte plus sized files ( on Firefox there are some files named Cache,it won't be them).Copy and paste it out to where you want to store it,then add the file type extension .flv ( swf may work as mentioned above,but I found this works for myself).All you need then is an FLV or SWF player to view them.

Once I figured it out a few weeks ago I got all the interesting 262 clips I could find off Youtube and Google!
