Well, they let me take some- in fact, the lady took one of me!

I was told that the owners didn't want pictures of their airplanes in magazines, but that since my picture was unlikely to appear in a magazine (what exactly did she mean by that?), I could stand in front of the plane for a picture.

I further asked if I could photograph the unassigned aircraft, to which she had no objections.

The policy may have changed since then, or maybe I was just nicer... ;-)

: See him Seattle, with a flight arriving late. Make it so
: by the time he has his act together he arrives with only a
: 1/2 hour to spare to see the Me 262 Project. Watch him r
: ush into the building in anticipation of photographing the
: Me 262 reproductions. Then... then... watch him read th
: e sign that says "No Photography".
:
: Yep. It's true. Nearly cried! SNIIFFFF....

: I should have taken a picture of the sign! They stated th
: e owners didn't want people taking pictures. I don't unde
: rstand why, but the people writing the cheques get the fin
: al say.

: Oh well. The nice lady did give me a very nice tour and I
: saw White 1 and the second production airframe (mostly as
: sembled). I also saw the other three fuselages, and the w
: ings for the third which are being built (in anticipation
: of an order).
