Reading WWII Weekend Featuring a Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe

[Aragorn243]

Show was awesome. For a while in the afternoon I was afraid I wasn't going to see the FW 190 or ME 262 fly as we had a significant rain storm hit before they could fly. They said the 262 only made three passes on Saturday. We got there early, got spots right next to the field/fence and then hit the flea market. I got a few bargains I'll post later in the flea market, yard sale thread. Got pics of the two planes in their static displays and then walked around the re-enactor groups waiting for the air show to start. Liason and trainers always scheduled first but they sent out a P-51 C to do some acrobatics before them because they "wanted to fit it in before the rain". They had a vehicle parade and the D-Day paratroopers dropped in before the flights. Then rain, two hour delay and the fighters were brought out. The FW 190 was good but the 262 was awesome. I don't know how they sounded in WWII but this one with modern engines was really pretty quiet compared to the piston engines. Quite a few passes today, took a lot of photos and videos, I'll post a few once they are all transferred to computer. If one of these is anywhere nearby, I highly recommend going to see it. I've always been a plane geek and this was like hitting the jackpot.
