wow, thats just way to cool. id pay good money to ride in this plane if it was a 2 seater. btw, what always surprised me is just how small the early jets were, ie the aircobra, this messerschimdt, etc etc. even the mig 15 was a smallish bird. state dept, sheesh, what more needs be said?

This jet was definitely not small. Even today it looks sleek - truly revolutionary! Now if they'd just get around to re-building a 'Stuka'......

Yep. I actually sat on the wing of one while watching a concert once, amazingly small even compared to small modern fighters like the F-16. A club in Germany had purchased it and put it inside.

the aircobra

Airacobra was prop driven.

At the Air & Space museum in DC there is a catwalk around it so you can walk right over the nose and look in the cockpit. It sure doesn't look roomy - I am 5' 5" and I suspect a lot of Luftwaffe pilots weren't much bigger.
