Nice one! but I prefer to see Me163 in its wartime camouflage colour. (Ali Aminzadeh)

Super funny for messerschmitt komet

A visitor from United States posted Sun November 23, 2008:
The red look's real cool on it

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun August 17, 2008:
The color and composition of this photo is fantastic. The still of this Komet in the air makes my heart skip a beat. Truely awsome aircraft made eve better by a great paintjob and a fantastic photo.

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 16, 2008:
Breathtaking! Hats off to all who conceived, built and fly this incredible machine. Hope it gets a rocket someday, but for now if flies as a glider, just as the first originals did!

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 16, 2008:
Fabulous photo of an exceedingly rare aircraft. Perfect weather to highlight the color and enough detail to really feel like you're in the thing!

A visitor from Israel posted Sat August 16, 2008:
Amazing replica. Nice photo. But I find it a tad distasteful that EADS has endorsed this project with their logo. After all, lest we forget what this indeed wonderful aircraft represent, and whom it had served during its wartime career.

A visitor from United States posted Sat August 16, 2008:
Cool pic of a cool rocket powered jet! Why isn't the pilot wearing a crash helment?!

A visitor from Portugal posted Sat August 16, 2008:
What an amazing classic, a piece of history, and no, it's not jet powered, it's towed and glide to the ground and it's a replica.

A visitor from Germany posted Sat August 16, 2008:
Rocket powered you mean? No, as far as I know its just a Glider right now. (Look at the registration on the Tail) And I doubt that German Aviation Admin. would allow Rocket Engines :(

A visitor from France posted Fri August 15, 2008:
This is a glider only - look at the pilot flight equipment. Fantastic sight though.

A visitor from United States posted Fri August 15, 2008:
Explosive! Literally. Hope he has an asbestos suit on.

A visitor from Germany posted Fri August 15, 2008:
Great shot. So close - you can see the bolts.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 14, 2008:
This photo brings one of the most spectacular technical advancements of the second world war into the present. this aircraft, and the me262, were flying machines of the first order, at a time when the jet engine was in its birth years. great shot, great aircraft.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 14, 2008:
An absolutely beautiful shot of a very unique aircraft. I hope it is either a glider or powered by something other than the highly explosive fuels used in WW 2.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 14, 2008:
Great Photo! Great Plane! Who cares if its a glider, its still flying.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu August 14, 2008:
Is it still jet powered? or do they just use it as a glider.

A visitor from - posted Thu August 14, 2008:
WHAT!!!! Are some of these flying or is this a replica? Wonder if it fired those rockets as they used to way back. What a unique pic of a unique a/c.
