This airplane is beyond special. She's one of only 9 original Me 262's out there and she is the only one that can run her engines. The other 8 have been in museums for 6-7 decades and have not been operated at all. This one has been privately owned and maintained. She recently got a 15 year restoration including rebuilding the motors. The restoration was completed in 2019 and she was doing taxi tests prior to a flight test program when her benefactor passed away. The airplane has been in this museum ever since.
I'm at the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett Washington.
