Sorry to be so OT, but I know we have many interested in vintage
aircraft here, and I'm thinking this is a rather rare occurance caught
on tape...

A neat movie. I don't believe, however, that there are any flying ME-262's from WWII production. A firm in Germany, though, has recently made a small batch of new aircraft from the original plans, though with updated avionics and powerplants, and I suspect that this is one of these.

Yeah, I got a kick out of that clip, too, but...as he finally landed, it seemed he had come in pretty hot, and I kept saying, "Flaps, guy, where's your FLAPs¡"
But instead, he burned off a little more asbestos from those big brake linings and came to a stop in plenty of time!

Very interesting.
