Very cool video.

Lots of interesting info on these babies found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262

Such as this tidbit:

The Czechoslovakian aircraft industry continued to produce single-seater and
two-seater variants of the Me 262 after WWII. These were kept flying as late
as 1957.

Quite a few of the original ME-262's survive,
Eric -- the Smithsonian has one, for instance,
and I believe that there is even one in
Australia.  But all are just static display
models and are no longer flightworthy.
