The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the first operational fighter jet in history and it was frighteningly fast compared with all that had gone before it with a top speed of Mach .86. Although 1400 Me 262s were produced, no airworthy examples remain so five completely new examples are being re-created in the USA and the second finished example Tango Tango, recently became the first ME 262 to fly over Germany for 60 years. http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html

Just enjoy it for what it is, a neat looking historical plane.

easy Dinky. he's young and probably has no idea about the historical relevance of the plane.

Devil, it was the first jet airplane every made. it would have kicked the allies asses all over the place in WW2 had it been built just a little sooner than it had been.

The first jet fighter was the British Gloster meteor.

The first 20 aircraft were delivered to the Royal Air Force in June 1944. The Gloster Meteor Mk. I saw action for the first time on 27th July, 1944 against the V1 Flying Bomb.
