Checking Out Flying Heritage's Almost Finished Me-262 Restoration

[@Ramash440]

Finally, ACF reveals Belka's newest superweapon : refurbished WW2 warbirds.

[@RedBaronAce0207]

With technology from Gründer Industries (formerly the South Belka Munitions Factory).

[@valsioncustom]

Lol

[@AussieLiam93]

What's old is now new.

[@EpicThe112]

Lol Osean Federation has a better jet fighter from the same era 1945 1955 F-86 Sabre FJ-2 & 3 Fury Naval F-86 those are better than the Belkan Me-262. To the Northwest Emmeria has the Fiat G91 Gina which would definitely win against a Belkan Me-262.

[@arz3ro75]

@@EpicThe112 what's your point? G91 is italian m8. Axis.

[@bobdyer422]

This 262 was actually once owned by Howard Hughes. An article about this jet was in Aviation History many years ago. Glad to see it's being brought into the light.

[@principalityofbelka6310]

I think we can still use this plane as either a recon plane or a training jet for new pilots. Ultimately we'll use them in secondary roles in our struggle to retake the southern lands

[@EpicThe112]

Nope because we still have F-86 Sabers Osean Federation Air Force and Osean Naval Air Arm FJ-2,3 & FJ-4 Fury against these Me-262s of the Belkan Air Force in addition our Ally Emmeria will give us G91 Gina.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Now we need a Gotha 229 / Horten 9 flying wing restored and airworthy :-)

[@TreyWait]

Sad to say there's a grand total of 1 in existence and it's far from complete or airworthy. Best we can hope for is for someone really wealthy to scratch build one...

[@NatureXwars]

The Me 262 always looked like a shark or a pleco to me, especially with their unique paintjobs. Quite a cute design for a jet fighter imo.

[@MilitaryHistoryVisualized]

Nice one!!!

[@antoniodominik2975]

[@messerschmittbolkow5606]

The prototypes of the both the Jomo 004 and BMW 003 which used high quality alloys where reliable indeed and also had a significantly higher thrust.

Thanks for covering this, ACF... Me-262 is great plane, 1 of the 1st Jet plane from WW 2 era... Hope the restoration will be finished soon... Long live Belkan Technology

[@steffenriedel2022]

It's nice to see the machine in its original form with the original "Riedel" starter motor

[@originalsoundjunky]

Thank you very much for sharing this video!! Thanks for the HE111 tidbit too! I saw the last flying example overhead in my city a short while before it crashed - and was saddened to hear of the crash... such a unique aircraft!! I can't wait to see this 262!!

[@johnnyboythepilot4098]

Oh wow you visited my neck or the woods; Arlington (KAWO) is my local airport! Although I didn't know they were restoring an Me-262 at Arlington. I knew about the Me-262 at Paine Field which used modern bizjet engines as substitutes, but one at KAWO, with the ORIGINAL engines? Wow!

[@zumb42]

Remarkable work, for a remarkable plane.

[@Megalodon64]

It should do a reenactment with the restored P-51s.

[@Calvin_Coolage]

I'm actually a bit more interested in that He 111 than the 262.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Calvin_Coolage The museum owns two, both Spanish CASA 2.111 aircraft. One example flew in the Battle of Britain movie and the other did not according to my info.

[@Calvin_Coolage]

@@FiveCentsPlease Pretty cool.

[@samsignorelli]

@@FiveCentsPlease Is the one in the vid being restored to flying status? IIRC, there aren't any 111s left that fly.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

@@samsignorelli The museum had not even announced the status of the aircraft as a restoration or if it will fly. Notice that it's a CASA 2.111 with Merlin engines and not an He-111 unless the museum converts to He-111 later. The museum owns two CASA aircraft. There is also a flying He-111 restoration in Europe but it has been silent for over 20 years and changed owners, so I have no idea if it will ever be finished.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Wrong, :-) the engines were sent back to one of the WW2 Junkers plants for repair they did not throw away used engines :-)

[@davem5333]

ABSOLUTELY engines were not thrown away. The engines were made of scarce materials that could not afford to be thrown out. They would be recycled. Even modern engines with modern manufacturing techniques require a lot of hand fitting of parts.

[@WilhelmKarsten]

The Jumo-004B engines had regular inspections and overhauls exactly the same as piston aircraft engines. The average 55 hours between overhauls EXCELLENT BY WW2 STANDARDS

[@Schlipperschlopper]

@@WilhelmKarsten Very few people know that Germans even used a titanium-Steel alloy called Trinidur to replace the hollow cast steel blades that were prone for breaking. Trinidur was 4x longer lasting than steel or aluminum. Trinidur was manufactured by Degussa.

[@Valks-22]

I remember finding out about this plane back in Secret weapons over Normandy - that game is the AC:0 of its time. Such fond memories

[@64mustangfan]

Nice! Thank you, and a Nikon man too :-)

[@patricksawyer9779]

Interesting... I wonder if that Heinkel was one of the ones used in the "Battle of Britain" film. That said, they're using the Jumo engines? I knew FHCAM was dedicated to as pure of a restoration as possible, but *damn*. I wonder if they'll just do ground runs like they do with the "Dora" they have at the main museum.

[@AceCombatFan]

Yep, it's the Jumo engines and they are restoring the plane to flying conditions!

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Patrick Sawyer The Me-262 will make short flights at the museum with modernized Jumo 004 turbines. AeroTurbine in California modernized the Jumo 004s and they are estimating to get 300 hours from them before another rebuild. The Dora is not run at all and it has not been started since it left the Champlin Museum. FHC owns two CASA (He-111) aircraft. They own airframe #167 which did fly in the Battle of Britain movie and they also own #169 which I am not seeing as being flown in the movie. I don't know which has been restored or if both were combined to build one example.

[@noivern666]

Nice T-shirt

[@royalanania3306]

Beautiful, 😉 it has the nose of a Dogfish, shark.

[@shirsh4657]

I hope I get to fly one of these one day. I'm partially related to Messerschmitt himself, so I have somewhat of a personal attachment to this aircraft. I'm joining the airforce next year, and I may perhaps become an actual pilot, still thinking heavily on that part though. Though ofcourse being a pilot doesn't guarantee that I will.. but I really hope I can have the opportunity to someday.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Demented01 The Collings Foundation was offering checkout flying on their Me-262 but it was only open to pilots current on jet and with multi-engine and pilot in command experience. Stallion51 in Florida offers P-51 stick time and training for new owners and public flights. Military pilots and test pilots also go down there for P-51 time.

[@foedspaghetti3290]

I would love to see it in the air but would it be worth the risk?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+ foed spaghetti The Flying Heritage Museum typically flew their aircraft just a few times a year so they have low hours. It was never really clear what the plan for the Me-262 was, since some have said that they intended to make a few flights and retire it permanently. All work at the museum is presently stopped.

[@EpicThe112]

Well done. In Strangereal this Belkan Me-262 is no match for a combined Osean Federation Air Force formation of f-86 Sabre and its Naval version The Fury alongside F-80 shooting star and f-84 thunderstreak Thunderjet. While in North Point and Wellow there's the Gloster Gladiator and naval de havilland sea vampire finally Yuktobania has the Mig-15 and Emmerian G91 Gina

[@fw1421]

Did they say anything about the Stuka? Only Paul Allen would restore a 262 to this quality. Beautiful job!

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+fw1421 The November update says they are getting back to the Stuka after spending a lot of time on the Me-262. They are also occupied with annual inspections and equipment replacements. Currently the Stuka is getting plumbed and wired.

[@9999AWC]

That CASA 2.111 was quite unexpected! Is it being restored to flying status? And if so, is it being restored as a 2.111 or converted to He-111?

[@AceCombatFan]

Some people asked, the museum didn’t want to talk about the 111

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+AWC You can tell by the Merlin engine installation that it is configured as a CASA 2.111. Future conversion to He-111 configuration is unknown. The museum owns two 2.111 aircraft so perhaps they were both used for this rebuild or maybe not. The museum is building multiple Jumo 211 engines. One is for their airworthy Stuka project and the others might be for an He-111 or the Ju-88 wreck that they are rumored to have. Unconfirmed rumor for now.

[@Arik33241]

@@H-Shop however, Kono says that remastering old games is kinda bit "tricky" so there's might chance we may not getting them. I just want them to port ALL games to PS4, including the arcade games and 2D games as bonus (example: Air Combat 22 as bonus mode in AC2 ported version, Mach Storm as bonus mode in AC AH ported version, Northern Wings and Advance as bonuses for AC3 ported version) (I know this sounds crazy, but if they do that, it would be a big succes) And also, if you have Twitter, can you ask PA to update AC5 PS4 version to add ADLER if it's possible? (AC5 is update-able, press Dualshock 4's "option" button in menu, and you'll see "check for the latest update") Since ADLER was supposed to be in AC5, i think it's worth it to update it, because if they add ADLER as DLC in AC7, it would be sucks, cuz ya know? Rules of AC games evolution? "The latest the game, the nerfed the plane"

Restored to original specifications

[@odyshopody9387]

I think it's admirable they wanted to use the original engine with more reliable parts, I think I would have opted for a modern engine with the same dimensions. 300 hours is not a lot between engine overhauls!

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+odyshop ody This museum only flies their aircraft a few times each year so they will not accumulate a lot of hours. Also there is some confusion over the final goal of the restoration, some saying that they were only going to make a few flights with the aircraft and then retire it permanently. For now, the project is suspended before they were able to begin test flights.

[@WilhelmKarsten]

The Original Jumo 004A engines have a PFTR of 200 hours which is twice that of most high performance piston engines during WW2. TBOs of 25 hours were common in combat conditions for the Merlin or R-2800

Hopefully it’ll be a restoration so accurate that takeoff results in single engine failure 60% of the time and pulling more than 6 Gs breaks the wooden airframe
