Elevator music aside, that's really awesome.
As in it's actually maintainable?
I read that Jumos lasted about 10hrs due to the poor quality of metals and machining available to the germans at that stage of the war.
That canopy looks HUGE. I bet it's for taking people on a joy-ride.... for the right $$
I did all my civie flight training out of PAE where they are based for about 7 years, I never heard that call but was airborne when they were flying a few times. I was also in the pattern on 34R(the small RWY) when they had the gear fold on 34L on the first or second flight I think it was. They use to let anybody just walk in their hangar and look around/ask questions, this was a few years ago, but I got to do everything but sit in them.

That too, the longevity of the Jumo was worse than Lucas Electrics and Smith gauges.
Awesome. If I had the $650,000, I'd be on my way with checkbook in hand.
Seems like this could be huge, building museum-quality airworthy recreations of classic warbirds. There's more than one dude with too much money and a pilot's license out there.
Sign me up for an F8F Bearcat and one of the late-model Seafires.
