Thank you for this Excellent Video, Mr. Stefanu. That M.E. 262 was way ahead, of the times: fortunately for the future of this Planet, it arrived on the scene too late to be of any significance !! ❤100%❤ Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦

Great video Vic. Just a question do you get jet lag or because you travel so much do you not? Thanks.

@VicStefanu 8 жыл бұрын

+Emily Dingley I am so used to flying that nothing bothers me anymore and I hardly suffer from jet lag.. I never sleep on planes and I can fly for 13 hours (London to Tokyo, for example) arrive at the hotel and be ready to go for 8 hours of walking and touring...

Thanks for sharing this video about the messerschmitt 262 jet as this is very much a topic to my interests as I am aircraft enthusiast.. Like to point out the clear cutaway view of the jet engine and all its workings inside really show back in the 1940's how advanced nazi germany were at the time which helped technology to where it is today and as you point out this is one of many other examples jet fighters to be added to front line defence as well as other projects including the Horton HO 229 which was being built and tested near the war's end and the messerschmitt P. 1111 and also the messerschmitt P. 1110 had been built in the war earlier would of changed the course of history.. So yes very interesting video I bet you would of liked to sit in the cockpit and get some sort of experience to what's it like in there.. Thanks again vic very much appreciated 👍 😊 👍

lol.. Yes, I would have liked to sit in that cockpit but sure enough, I would have been thrown out of the museum within 5 seconds after touching this plane...

(Cont'd) This presentation is awesome in that it is a visual reminder how, given such magnificent advantage over allied forces in almost everything, Germany, metaphorically speaking, blew match point by losing the war again with such a commanding lead in aircraft development. Apologies for repeating myself, Vic.

Very interesting and informative video of the Messerschmitt ME 262 AKA Schwalbe (Swallow) for fighter versions of the plane and Sturmvogel (Storm Bird) for attach versions of this aircraft. Vic, what exactly are the differences between the two versions of this plane, and why did the Germans produce the two different versions of this plane. It is interesting to learn that two different types of fuel were used to run these planes. One type of fuel used for the starter which was an electric starter, and the other type of aircraft fuel to actually fly the plane. Given the short range that this plane could fly, it seems that this plane was at a distinct disadvantage against the planes flown by the RAF. Roughly how many of these planes (of each type) still survive that are actually operational. How far in the restoration process was the plane in the video? I noticed that the plane was only partially repainted. Excellent and very informative video !

+Michael Friedman Hi Michael, the two versions differed on the armaments that they carried, the bomber had additional devices under the fuselage and the wings to hold the bombs and rockets. They produced two versions because they (the Germans) hoped to replace all Luftwaffe aircraft types with this advanced designed (thus replacing all the prop-powered aircraft). The range was always a disadvantage and this is why it only flew above Germany (it did not show up in bombing raids above England for example). Wikipedia lists the remaining planes and their locations, they are tracked carefully given the historic significance of this plane.. They paint the planes every 30 years or so to preserve them and as part of the on-going maintenance here at the Museum..

(Cont'd) With these incredible speeds you speak of, Vic, it was a foregone conclusion that the end of railway service, however luxurious and accommodating, was nigh. Five hundred miles an hour! Wow! And I'm even struck still at the speed on landing. I laugh at the very thought of commercial flight aboard the old DC-3 that took forever getting from coast to coast.

Vic Stefanu - World Travels and Adventures I can only match you from another mode of travel. I have taken the El Capitan (coach)/SuperChief (Pullman) to Chicago, 39 hours from Los Angeles; then by The Twentieth Century, Ltd. (Pullman) to New York, eight hours. And that's the extend of it. When was this, you ask? In the early 60s. In fact, the first thing I did checking into my hotel was visit the Met, there to see an immortal painting by Rembrandt I had seen on television a year previous to traveling to NY, "Aristotle contemplating the bust of Homer." Vic, I was standing so close to this precious work of art that, had I been demented, I could've deprived the world of a magnificent contribution to humankind -- all done by steady hands and incredible focus, mind you.
