APHill Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Check out this video I saw on youtube.com. They have built and flown two full size 262's. I want one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSword Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think I've seen this before but it's still pretty cool. Too bad about that annoying music though! 262's deserve something badass, not smooth jazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimosabi Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I agree, a Britney tune would be much more suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 As you can see from this link, these guys and their two aircraft have been around for some time. http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html Before they even flight tested the aircraft, they were asking two million dollars just for the airframe. Engines and avionics are extra. So the only Danger Dog who can afford one of these reproductions is BG, and he already has several origionals.

APHill Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Engines and avionics extra!! Well, darn I was thinking I could save.........ya right! Its fun to dream though. Wouldn't it be incredible to actually fly a single seat version ! The General Electric J-85 is the engine I worked on in the Navy. Its a great little engine, light and reliable.
