the second flying reproduction of the groundbreaking Messerschmidt Me262 WWII jet fighter -- took to the skies over Germany earlier this week. The historic flight marked the first time that an Me262 has flown over Germany since 1945.

Wow, did you read? There's also a Bf-109F planned - I was mumbling: here the Municipality evicted the Aero-Club - do you remember our "airfield"? Well, don't know what are they going to do with that runway, hangars and the like, but time ago I already saw a Stork taking off from there... dreaming of a triumphal parade with one of those Fw190 of theirs... Cool

I actually just met one of the guys that worked on those planes (David Simberger, he was talking to one of my professors when I went in to his office). What a coincidence, lol. He said that when they first picked up the plane, it was in some junkyard, and had been very rusted and such. They contacted some museum in Germany and managed to get blueprints to the original aircraft, and built it up from there. He also said the plane has actually been flying for a couple years, but that was the first time since WWII that the plane has been flown over Germany.

~S~ All
I have been reading about these planes for a few years now and from what I have learned the first plane crashed after only a couple flights.
The ME262 they used belongs to the U.S. Navy which is on loan to them for the purpose of restoring it back to static display status and at the same time makeing the blueprints for the new birds.
They didn't find an ME262 in a junkyard. lol
No one has complete blueprints to the ME262 which is why the company made the deal with the U.S. Navy.

From the beginning, there was little interest in creating a plane that only looked like a Me 262; the objective was to create precision duplicates of the jet. There were significant technical challenges to overcome: surviving airframes were rare indeed and technical drawings were incomplete -- not to mention scattered across two continents.

Without a master pattern to follow, it simply could not be done. What was desperately needed was an original Me 262 that could be torn apart, analyzed, and duplicated, piece by piece. Nothing less would work. Could such a plane be found?

The ideal candidate aircraft was found in an unlikely setting: a solitary example of an un-restored and original Me 262 was sitting outside of Willow Grove Naval Air Station in eastern Pennsylvania. The aircraft, once known as "White 35," was a rare Luftwaffe trainer, complete with dual-controls. Having spent decades on outdoor display, the jet was deteriorating rapidly. Unless it could be properly restored, its days were clearly numbered. This made it the single best hope for use in a restoration/reproduction project. It was soon discovered that the U.S. Navy owned the aircraft, but lacked the resources to give the old B-1a a quality restoration.

Recognizing the possibilities, Snyder entered into a two year negotiation process with the Navy. The Navy was offered an attractive proposal: permit the old warbird to be dismantled and used as a template, and they would get back a fully restored aircraft at no cost to the government. The Navy accepted the deal, and the search for a suitable fabricator was mounted.

Now that you say that, he did mention something about a second plane being put on static display. He also did mention that they found "rusted" parts somewhere. I don't remember him saying anywhere specific, but I garauntee that the words "found" and "rusted" came out of his mouth :). And for the blueprints, again, he said they had to travel to Germany to get blueprints. You sound more informed on the issue than me, though, so you may be correct.
