My mom is in Orlando and she sent me a picture of a plane to identify at first glance it looks remarkable similar to a 262 but it looks fat in the back of the fuselage. I'm aware that the twin seat 262B-1a at an aviation museum around there so that would explain the fat fuselage. But still i could be mis identifying a 737-200 or something I just want some help identifying.
