I was lucky to run into Geri "K12" Krähenbühl at RIAT23. He flies the Me 262 for Airbus Heritage/ Messerschmitt Foundation and was happy to be interviewed about his experience flying this aircraft at air shows. Big thank you to the community supporters for their support - and Geri, Airbus and the Messerschmitt Foundation for facilitating this interview.
