Here are some pics I snapped while I was on the flight line.

Says there is going to be a Me-262 there....I wonder if its going to be flying??? That would be something different to see for sure!

It was there, it was flying, it was a 2 seat variant. Also there was a real a6m zero, not one of the texan replicas made for the movies. Both the 262 and the a6m were one of two flying of each type.

Very interesting to watch the zero fly, much more nimble than the american fighters. It looked like it was doing loops in a shoebox in the sky. It put on a show almost as impressive as some of the aerobatic planes.

Well, I didn't make it and wish I had......Sister and BIL kept texting me photos and videos of it and looks like it was awesome....Would have loved seeing the B17 getting attacked by the 262 which was being chased by the 2 Mustangs...Had to be awesome!!!
