Yeah, checking the N-number against the US registry, I get:

N-number : N103JC
Aircraft Serial Number : FC-119
Aircraft Manufacturer : FAIRCHILD
Model : M-62A-3
Engine Manufacturer : FAIRCHILD
Model : 6-440 SERIES
Aircraft Year : 1943

Except for the "62" part, it doesn't sound much like a two-engine turbojet to me...

M 62 is the manufacturers model number for the PT 19 Cornell. Powered by a
Ranger in line inverted 6 cylinder engine. That M-62A-3 has been bugging me
since the start of this thread.

Yea...I checked the database and it is apparently a Fairchild. Wonder why the
FAA calls it an ME-262..oh wait...it's the FAA...they don't get much right.
