That having said, this is one of the most beautiful planes I have ever seen, and considering I live 20 miles from the German border and considering the big big zoom on my Nikon D70 it's a bloody shame that I wasn't there.

Tonight I'm gonna fly a 109 for the heck of it...

That seriously kicks ass.  What a looker!  I love that last "tower buzz" pic especially.

So are these replicas completely identical to the original design?  If so...it'd be pretty useful for our FMs. :D

Oh, but the 109F looks the best ;)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

IMO Bf109G2 is the most elegant and prettiest looking Bf109.  The G6 is the best looking, though. :)

Really I think the heavier canopy and windsreen of the Bf109G2 tie the plane together more and make it look more solid than the thin frames and lower front windows of Bf109F..  And the G2 still has retractible tailwheel and no bumps - so its very clean and mean.

It's very inspiring to see an airworthy 109, as they are so rare.

 IMO the late Gustavs or Kurfursts with the smooth but bulging cowls, look best. The bulges give the plane some attitude. The plain-line early 109s aren't mean enough!

fantastic, and it has a DB engine... I really do not like the spanish merlin 109s, they look goofy...

Very pretty plane.


Hopefully it flies longer then black 6.

Hey guys, if you look further down in the thread there are also a few video clips posted. Awesome sound of that DB in the flyby!

banning the swastika is like banning red coats in england in case we go steal 1/3 of the world again.

"AAAAAAHHHH A RED COAT!!! MUST............    INVADE .......................                EVERYONE!!"

just pathetic.

Dude, if I had enough money I'd buy a 109E. Seriously.

I hear Bill Gates (or somebody at Microsoft) is paying to restore a DB engine for his 109, and may someday be flying it.



I believe there is a flying 109E4/7 in California :aok

Personally I think all rebuildt/restored ww2 planes that are rare should be placed in museums, and they could build replicas to fly. Reasonably priced and "mass produced" ww2 replicas would prolly be fairly popular too.

Unfortunately 'reasonably priced' aircraft are still too fuggin expensive for me to consider.

Well, there's always the lottery :D
