The Military Aviation Museum invited the public to see their Me 262 atnthe Chesapeake airport. I only got good photos on the ground, but it was great to see it fly.

Very cool!

What engines does the replica use? Just curious.

According to the Q&A they held, it uses the GE CJ610. They said that those are available because no one is flying the Learjets that used them. They are definitely very loud!
