A plane like that must have seemed like science fiction in it's day. Still looks pretty futuristic. — Bob

I have not seen this one in flightsim before Mike. Part of the beginning of the jet age in warbirds. Great shot of it. :eek::cool::cool:

That is a new one to me, odd looking.

Neat shots Mike, one of the relatively few German WWII jets that actually saw reasonably widespread service.
