Oh, there it is from Patty Wagstaff
Where is my suitcase now? Oh, there it is...Las Vegas baby...and the sun is just coming up over the mountains, morning light shining on the Palms but morning is just a continuation of the night before and before that because there are no clocks and the doors are hard to find. We're booking airshows for 2009 and it looks like fate will take us out west a few times next year. Schedule to be posted on http://www.pattywagstaff.com/ soon.

Airshow Euro from AirshowEuro by WireFox
With 2009 getting here fast, what have we to look forward to next year ? well here's a few pointers. A Euro Starfighter possible, Fokker S IV very possible, Fi Storch at Old Warden very possible, P-40N at TFC possible, P-47G flying at Legends, possible. P-38 'GG' making it over the Atlantic this year, possible. The Chief Engineer of the TFC retires and will keep the TFC Blogspot going, possible. The Panton Brothers getting 'Just Jane' in the air after the Vulcan ere, possible. Seeing the 'Flying Bulls' P-38 out and about in Europe, 'Twilight Tear' back for Legends, possible. Seeing a Fw 190 fly in the UK, slim on the grounds of how long its been here already.
Although I heard through PCD that Mr Charlie Brown has been offered the chance of flying one in Germany so read into that what you like. Mr 'T' and his new Hurricane at Hardwick or Shuttleworth, very possible. Have I missed anything ? remind me if I have.

Me-262B-1a/U1 Red 8 from Military Photos by prion
The German Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first operational jet aircraft to enter front line service on either side during the Second World War (1939 - 1945). The design work was initiated in 1939 with the first airframes being produced in 1941. At that time the development of jet engines was still in progress. Therefore, when the initial flight took place in April 1941, a single Junkers Jumo 210 G 12 cylinder piston engine, centrally fitted into the nose of the aircraft driving a propeller, was utilized. The first flight using jet engines produced at Bayerische Motornwerke (BMW) was undertaken in March 1942.
