262, I probably missed an earlier post of yours, but I wanted to ask-What kind of engines are they using on that Beast, I know there aren't any Junkers Jumo's laying around?

Tango is using GE CJ 610's and White 1 is using GE J85's the CJ 610's are the "civil" version of the J85's.

Very nice. Is there any public (or buff by appointment) access to the 262 shop?

I was getting a bit mixed up and I thought T-T was White 3 that was going to take to the air for the first time.

But THe photos are great and please keep them coming.

ME 262 Project is now open for viewing. We were closed to the public for a while because we had our own "top secret" area known as "Junk Works" and that is all I can say about that. But come on by and check it out.
