Love that paint scheme.
+@rodzor The paint is correct based on WW2 photos of the plane when it was captured.
Beautiful bird

Is there any update on your Me 262 and restoration to air worthiness? Hope you are doing well
I was in artillery for 24 years, I was a chief on the M109, M198 and 102 in Iraq 03to 05. We would bring in knocked out tanks and equipment from around the area so we got to see these babies up close a lotT-55s T-62's, 72's and Sadaam had a lot of French 155mm self propelled vehicles as well. I brought home a Russian gunners quadrant, brand new still in the wooden box!
wheres the engine part???
I thought those engines only lasted like 10 hours or something?
+@TiberiusMaximus They are rebuilt, and the estimate is 300 hours. But the plane needs more testing before it can begin flights.
PFTR for the Jumo 109-004b engines was 150 hours... exceeding both the RAF and the USAAF 100 hour PFTR requirements for adoption into service. Operation LUSTY exhaustively tested the Messerschmitt Me-262 and confirmed TBOs averaged 55 hours... excellent by Allied piston engines standards and better than the Merlin or the R-2800.
I give you another ten years for build this Ju-87......
Hello, I think it is not an E3...the canopy looks like an E4..Rgds.
I can forgive a lot on youtube, but 'chew-mo', not 'you-mo'? c'mon. . . 'j' in german = 'y'. junkers = yoonkers. just sayin'. . .
My Dad was in this squadron. He passed away in 1996. His name Burt Banks.
Why have you got this, why is this plane in America, the ME-262's did not fly to America during WWII, so the Americans definitely stole it from Germany along with the German gold train that people think is still around, somewhere but no, the German gold is in Fort Knox with the gold the Americans sole from the Japanese, remember the gold AND silver because when the Americans were loading it on the Submarine, they dropped the silver into the sea, they made a note of the position and when back and got it after the war!?
+@wolfenstein722 The surrender terms signed by Germany included forfeit of weapons and production. Nothing was stolen.
If I ever got that close to a ME109 or a Spitfire, I'd be in that much awe I'd never be able bring myself to touch one!
2:16 Is the smoke caused by the new paint?
+@carlnapp4412 Those engines were ran on an engine test rig at the turbine shop before going to the museum. My guess would be a leak, spill, or there is something the needs to be resolved. Ground testing for the plane is not complete at this time. They just did a few taxi and brake tests before the museum was closed for a while.
Hi from England, I love all the Iron Works aircraft, they got it so right, it's a shame no Grumman aircraft on US Navy carriers now. The F5 and A6 are my two favourite US aircraft. Great video.
Imagine 6 of these twice as large on an Junkers EF-132 Zerstörer, which would have been slightly bigger than a B-52. 🤪
Where do you think the B-47 came from???
@@WilhelmKarsten Downsized EF-132 Zerstörer ofc
R-4? The factory-tropicalized version? Discovered in Africa?
+@robertmueller2023 It did leave the factory as an R-4 in North African colors, but it was taken and reallocated to the Eastern Front. So the restoration is recreating the factory paint, and the plan was to put the final layer of Eastern Front paint on it to recreate the spots of RLM 79 desert paint that would still be visible. This Stuka is using parts from two wrecks that were salvaged from Russia many years ago.
I got to see the German one fly in Berlin a few years ago. Was pretty cool.
Did this example retain the original engine and exhaust systems?
+@majorkursk780 The museum obtained about 11 engines from various sources to have enough usable parts to build a correct engine. This work is difficult. The engine is tested and certified although the museum did not give any permission to publish any video of the testing.
It has even nazi ideology an the fin. Get rid of it and denazify this bird.
You aren't a high iq individual are you?
Wonderful!!!! Becaause you can actually see by the cooling fan spinning 3 times faster than the propshaft that this is the actual BMW801 and not the Russian Schwetsov fitted to the new-builds by German company Flugwerk
i love the startup on slow mo❤
I am always amused at how high up the pilot sits in these aircraft. They really prioritized visibility.
The F6F Hellcat is without a doubt my favorite US naval airplane of World War II. It is the fighter that helped win the Pacific.
A layout that is practical to this day. Just look at any twin engine airliner with the engines under the wings and you see the legacy of the Me-262.
Hard to believe that these technical marvels were built somehow in 1943. Great Video!
Looks like a modernized version of the WW2 German Grille Ausf.K 15 cm self propelled howitzer. 👍
Great video! #Cosair #F4U
Is this not a G13 variant?
Now that the engines have modern materials and everything else, what are they like on the test bed are they better in power or are they as they were original during WW2
+@maxrpm2215 Power/thrust figures were not published that I know of, keeping with Paul Allen's non-disclosure policies with vendors. Very likely those numbers will be the same as WW2 specifications. It wasn't the goal to make a more powerful Jumo 004, just more durable. The engine shop did mention TBO times in a publication and those are estimated to be 300 hrs, vastly improved from wartime numbers.
+@maxrpm2215 The bench test data was not published by the turbine shop, following the usual non-disclosure policy that Flying Heritage used when Paul Allen owned it.
@@FiveCentsPlease damn, it would've been good to know if any improvement was achieved. Also did they manufacture the turbine's to original or improved to be more reliable on the throttles. Hopefully when its the air they release the data.
These engines are restored to original condition... no modifications were made.
@@maxrpm2215All first generation jets have manual fuel controls, including Allied jets. The throttles were not unreliable, your comments are misleading and misinformed
3-engined ME262. Two-stroke Riedel engine starts the left engine like an APU
Hört sich anfangs an wie ein Rasenmäher.
Thank you so much for this tour. I am a model builder and also a watchmaker. Thus I tend to build to a much higher level of detail than is usual. I was actually wanting information on how the rudder peddles mounted and articulated so I could at least give a reasonable representation in the Ju87A I am building. The ones that were being worked on are identical to those in the plane I am building and this kind of information is so hard to find.
HORRIDO PAUKE PAUKE
Awesome weapon by Kurt Tank and great work keeping her running boys!
Beeindruckend! Meinen größten Respekt!
Any news about this project?
Un 262 originale e con motori jumo originali??😮
+@dimitribartali2744 SÌ
Nice video, thanks for posting. Is there any new info on the power plant that you took out? Did it get put back in? Is this a running machine now? Thanks again. Norman
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: A good friend and survivor of the holocaust (who recently past away at 98 yrs of age), used to tell us horror stories about the whine of the Stuka sirens when they would attack her small town in Hungary. I think it would be best to keep your restoration project low key just like they did with the recent restoration of the ME-262 here near Seattle. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total WW-II plane nut, but now is not the right time to be tooting your horn about your Stuka restoration project and putting it on KZread and other Media. Keep in mind, the Stuka (unlike the ME-262) was specifically developed to Terrify and kill innocent people. People like my friend who survived many Stuka attacks. Restoring a Stuka is like proudly restoring an oven from Treblinka. So please, tone it down a bit... Thank You, Sincerely, Dan Sotelo Mercer Island, WA
Hopefully there will be some newer videos?
I don't believe any Bf-109E's had the center canon setup. Bf-109 F's were the first to incorporate it in production aircraft.
This has always been a dream of mine. Just to get 20-30 minutes in the air with this old girl
Any update on this community and or it’s inventory?
Ezt a gyönyörű gépet így elrontani a festéssel.
Amazing - 1940's tech. My Dad would have been 20 years old.
Awesome!
Fantastic workmanship
Ausgezeichnet! Danke!
Largest wings by square footage of any fighter plane of WW2. My dad was a Hellcat pilot.
