We have been covering the restoration of the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum’s Messerschmitt Me 262 for some time now, and the project is coming very close to completion at Morgan Aircraft Ltd. in Arlington, Washington State. While the first (and only) flight is still some time away, the museum is going to allow a relative handful of lucky people have a sneak-peak up close and personal of their remarkable prize on August 31st. This private unveiling, if you will, is going to take place months before museum visitors will get to see the aircraft when it is formally unveiled at the museum’s main campus at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. Tickets are available to the unveiling. See the press release below for further details…
