If it's where I remember it, it's next to the XP-80 Shooting Star and
the XP-59 Airacomet; and they have a replica of the turbojet from the
He-178 there also.
Yeah, but they're just not as neat. The -262 is one of those planes that
looks like it should be flying, and there's not many of those.
You did better than I did; I managed to miss the main
W.W. II section! Does anyone know if (or when) they intend to get the
Horton/Gotha 229 and Me-163 Komet restored and on display?
To the best of my knowledge, if that Go-229's the one I think it is,
it's not really going to look like much once it's restored - isn't that
the "fuselage" only, no wings in existence? Still, I'd like to see it...
(Is fuselage the right word? You'd assume so, but I never saw
definitions for "flying wing" aircraft...)
Maybe they'll be putting it in the new building? I saw a list of the
projected contents somewhere, but damned if I can find it again.
