    That's some really nice work, Gatto. Does the elongated canopy on this model designate it as being a trainer aircraft?

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Yes it is , as a matter of fact they were offering 2 flying packages for this plane:
    Unusual Attitude / Upset Training Flight
    Cost: $4,500.
    Includes an approximate 40-minute flight in the Me 262 “White 1.”
    and
    Me 262 Type Rating
    Cost: Billed at $3000 per flight hour plus fuel.

    It always is, the pictures are from different Airshows, some from Wings Over Houston and some from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. I do travel to different States and Counties to visit Airshows, I like to travel, take pictures and meet new ppl with same passion for photography.
