Me262 at the ILA2006 in Berlin (original sound)

A newly built ME-262 taking flight at a Berlin air show. It's absolutely mindblowing. The only thing that would top this would be if someone cloned a dinasaur. To be able to witness history, to watch it, and hear it, to see something that hadn't been done in 60 years, simply awesome.

What must it have been like for Allied pilots to see this for the first time, a plane that looked unlike any other, that sounded unlike any other, to fly faster and hit harder than anything they had ever seen before. The people at the ME-262 Project took this historical giant of an aircraft and resurrected it, and at the same time, corrected it's flaws. I tip my hat to them.
