They have a ME-262 at the airplane museum in McMinnville, Oregon. Cool as hell indeed. Thank god they were out of gas by the time they got that thing off the assembly line.

BTW Heater Allen brewery in McMinnville is excellent. Their Pilsner is top notch.

In the Mt. Rushmore of elite American aircraft you’d have to strongly consider putting the Mustang up there four times.
There’s really nothing like it in the history of America fighters in terms of so thoroughly outclassing the competition. And to think it didn’t even start out that way.

People forget how good the FW-190 D-9 was

People forget that

I worked for Paul Allen's collection before Covid shut that shit down. It's too bad, not only was it a fucking cool place to work we had an ME 262 close to being finished with the original Jumo 004 engines, and a JU-87 Stuka being actively restored.
