Let me know if a Me262 or Focke wolfe is there, I'll buy it and restore it :)

[So Cal Rocket]

It took almost 60 years to find these... how long will it take to find Iraq's WMD

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm holding out for a Me1000 (i think thats the number - the one we & the russians copied to make the F86 & the Mig 15)

[RoughDobermann]

You don't happen to read Clive Cussler novels, do you?

[Ford Fairlane]

If it's that bunker, make sure you wear a gas mask when you go in ;-)

[Paul Atreides]

According to some on the left, Iraq's WMDs should have been found two hours after the troops set foot in Iraq.

Nope ME-262 'Swallow'

Not really copied, but the inherent design elements were borrowed for both the MiG and the Sabre.

Ah, yes! Which book was it? I haven't read any Cussler in a LONG time!

[BradyLS]

Geraldo will get to the bottom of this. Or he'll eat... something.

[Plutarch]

Hmmm, where is that dang shovel....?

[RoughDobermann]

Iraq didn't have a WMD program... Jeez, where you been?! It's all lies from W so that he could have vengeance on Saddam!

[bicycle thug]

This dig could make for an epic "Antique Roadshow, Germany." Man, I want an ME 109, and want one bad. (But they could keep the bombs.)

[RoughDobermann]

Is that the stretched 190?

[lafroste]

It is now the main destination for discount airlines

Well, It IS a discount airline. Waddya expect? Caviar?

[Burkeman1]

It would be great if a few Stuka fighter planes could be found intact as none exist. But if there is massive ordinance under the airport I would wager it is excess Soviet ordinance as the Germans in the final assualt on Berlin were running low on all ammunition save panserfausts and had to "ration" artillery shells and tank shells to their units even though they had few tanks or artillery pieces at that point.

[Paul Atreides]

Geraldo will get to the bottom of this.

The only thing Geraldo ever got to the bottom to was a twentysomething girl.

[Husker24]

This would be awsome, but unfortunately the German government would probably chop them up and sell them as scrap metal. It would be something if there was some of those jet fighters down there.

[Husker24]

That is a neat looking aircraft, youve got to hand it to the Nazis, as evil as they were, they did have style.

[wolficatZ]

Only one prototype and we snagged it. 

 

The Me P.1101 V1 was about 80% complete when the Oberammergau complex was discovered

by American troops on April 29, 1945, a few days before the war's end.  ,
