Messerschmitt_0003

Driving home from the Seattle airport today (Dec 11, 2005) I saw this plane wrapped up outside US customs. It appears to be an ORIGINAL Nazi ere fighter jet. The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world’s first operational turbojet aircraft. Its first flight as a pure jet was on July 18, 1942.
