German Engineering At Its Best
Trying to spot an Me 262 these days can be hard. These WW2-era fighter jets always draw a fair amount of people!
In this video, we get to see an Me 262 do its pre-flight checks and start up its engine before finally taking off.
Personally, we think that the plane is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made.
Not only was it the world’s first operational jet fighter, but it was years ahead of its time in so many ways. After over 70 years, this plane managed to look impressive and modern!
Also, early jets like these feel as if they had a character of their own.
Do you know other Me-262s that are airworthy?
