The first effort to make Me 262 copies, which began in the early 1990s and involved warbird fan Stephen L. Snyder and a Texas aircraft restoration company, Classic Fighter Industries, dissolved in acrimony. Snyder called on Bob Hammer to take over the work. The effort was barely under way when Snyder died in the crash of his North American F-86 jet fighter in 1999.
The aircraft were taken over by the Texas Aircraft Factory.
