Me262 Pima

[GrizBArizona]

Was at Pima Air & Space Museum 5 days ago.

Tucked away in a hangar were these two Messerschmitts...

I had to hold the camera right up to the very dirty, tinted window to get the photos.

The Me-109 is mentioned on their website.

But I cannot find any info on the Me262 which was in the same building...

By the way, there were very few parts visible for the 262 in there (on the shelves behind). There was one more section of the building to the left of where the 262 was being restored, it might contain wings, etc, but I dont know as there were no windows.

Any idea which 262 this is

Here I am in Tucson and I had no idea that the Pima Air Museum had either one of these planes. I'll have to check it out.

In the hangar building by the white WWII barracks building.
Can only see them by putting your face right up to the windows because they are very dirty and tinted. Hangar 6?? I cant remember.

The Bf109 is documented. I just wonder why there is zero info on the 262.

Couple or 3-4 $million in there, might be why they keep that quiet...

Thanks, I'll check it out. Regards, Neil
