She's purty! Nothing announced at Stormbirds.com, any flight photos? Is this one still destined for a private owner in Germany?

Too bad I missed it. I spent half of Sunday night sitting and drinking at "The Jet Deck" out at Paine Field when we got back from Abbotsford. I guess I should have gotten over to see the planes before leaving for Charleston.

The second plane is heading for Germany.

Texas IIRC.

I received some small take off and landing shots, but taken from the hangar door they are very poor. I don't have permission to post them, so you'll have to wait fro the site update

Where is the first plane headed?


The owner of the first 262 is from Scottsdale, Arizona.

It's great to have a two seater AND a single seater now flying. Congratulations to the team!!

They might not have taken the usual inflight photos because the usual chase pilot and plane are still up in Canada. As far as I know. They may have used the back up citation though.
