• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It's always stunning to see one of those flying - structurally, a perfect replica/reproduction of the original, and fitted with GE CJ610 jet engines (housed in original-design cowlings). That one of course is owned by Airbus Group and operated by the Messerschmitt Foundation, based at Manching, Germany, while two other flying examples are based in the US with the Military Aviation Museum (Virginia Beach) and Collings Foundation (Houston). The CJ610 engines are capable of producing more thrust than the original Jumo engines, so they're operated with restricted power. All three originally began construction at the Texas Airplane Factory (Herbert Tischler), before moving to Legend Flyers at Paine Field in Washington where they were completed and test flown.

Yes John and how it can be ignored by Microsoft as a milestone in aviation is beyond me.

Alas M$ is avoiding the warbirds, but if they should find a way to honor either the Heinkel He 178 or maybe the Gloster E.28/39 instead, at least neither of them were armed.
