It's incredible; they should have changed the turbo engines by more recnet ones as these very first ones were not reliable ? Or is it the originla engine ?

Fabulous Johann. Amazing pictures of a great airshow. I had no idea there is a flying Me-262. And the P-38 and the other 70 year old warplanes still look lethal. Too bad the PBY-5A had such a boring paint job. You did clearly love the A-380, and what a great beast it is. If I'm reading the EXIF information right, you only had the kit lens available to you. These photos show me the great capabilities of the K-X and kit lens and of you as the photographer.

I dig the Schwalbe. I saw it over a number of years during its construction.

Nice P-38. Gleaming.

Lovely Ju-52.

Too many pics to flip through though. Maybe select the better half of them next time.

some nice photos, it looks like you need a telephoto lens though for some of the in flight shots

Hi!

The plane is a complete replica, as there are no original ones left. The engines used are modern General Electric (imho) ones, which had to be specifically fitted to the way too large housings for the original Jumo engines.

The BF109 on display is an original one and in fact the only one still flying with an original DB605 engine, which is very hard to maintain, because at the time, they used very different oils, lubricants and fuel than can be had today.

There are only 3 flying replicas being built. Apparently they are such good replicas they have been assigned serial numbers.

Here is the website on the project. http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html

I live in Toulouse where the Jumbo is assembled and I have some shots of the very first flight if you are interested

Hi,

yes I was surprised to see this Me262 in flight; if it is a replica I understand better; by the way there are some original Me262 in museums; I've seen one in London - but it would be a pity to take the risk to crash it during a demo flight; I have read that it was difficult to fly it

I believe they are not replicas. They are an actual continuation of the production run. They have modern engines for obvious reasons, and safety upgrades for obvious reasons, but for the rest, the specifications are as per the originals hence the werknummer continuation.

And they originally planned to build five, but a bit of a lack of interest has cut that back to three. The wings and the fuselages of all five were in Everett for a long time. Two are flying, the third will be completed sometime (I hope).
