  • Pretty basic design. Are those springs actuating the main gear? I like the little window for the nose wheel.

  • @n74jw Yes they are...

    Simple, but reliable design.

  • ...a bit rickity, and two bl**dy narrow, but is someone (who?) really bringing the 162 to flying condition? ...How very exciting!!!

  • @popsaka1 The He-162 was restored for static display only. It is now in Storage at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace near Paris, waiting to be displayed to the public. More on the restoration at : memorial.flight.free.fr

  • Where is the Heinkel now??? I heard that the real Yellow 11 that was flown by Oberleutenant Emil Demuth Werk# 120074 was in unrestored airworthy condition in a Canadian museum and was recently traded for a british aircraft 

  • @johntjg The Heinkel is in storage right now, at Le Bourget. It is waiting to be displayed, in the public part of the museum...

  • That . . . is . . . beautiful, I could cycle it all day and just watch it and feel it - gorgeous. I just love WWII German aircraft, engineering brilliance.

  • @elwman Contact the Planes of Fame museum in Chino, California. They have one of these parked in their forign hangar.

  • I think it's a shame that Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace wanted their aircraft back so quickly. With this aircraft in bits at Memorial Flight, it would have been a good opportunity to take measurements so that a replica could be built; rather like was done with a Messerschmitt 262
