The Military Aviation Museum of Virginia Beach, VA restored their Messerschmitt Me-262 replica back to flying condition. One of five faithful reproduction aircraft constructed using a US Navy Me-262 war prize (Me 262 B-1a W.Nr. 110639) as a pattern. Pictured on it's first solo display at AirVenture 2025, the aircraft lost the fuel cap on the auxiliary tank and streamed fuel on two passes before landing.
