Yeah, we were in a bit of a time crunch as we were headed to the beach but I could've definitely spent a lot more time perusing the exhibits.
I can't imagine the first allied pilots that got a look at the 262 coming after them. Must have been somewhat surreal. :)
The other wingtip is a looooooooong way across the hanger. lol

German tech was scarily advanced. The V2 rocket was straight out of science fiction, and this jet was the first of its kind. Thankfully, it all came too late to make any difference.
That's why my government ran Operation Paperclip and brought over German scientists/engineers even though they had some questionable backgrounds being Nazis and even SS/SA.
