White 3 of 9./JG 7 "Nowotny" on display at Deutsches Museum München. It was built at Obertraubling and ferried to Erding on 20 Jan. 1945. The Me-262 was field modified with an R7 Rüstsatz kit by the addition of underwing wooden racks for twelve R4M rockets, which were used against heavy bombers. On 25 April 1945, Fhr. Hans-Guido Mütke took off from Fürstenfeldbruck and landed his aircraft at Dübendorf, Switerland where the Me-262 was impounded.
