Seattle company building new Me262 jets

The Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter plane built late in World War II in Germany is back in production - at Seattle's Paine Field. They use a modern jet engine instead of the flaky original and they've strengthened a few weak points, but other than that it's a copy of the original. Price tag: $2 million a copy, engines not included.
