Sad to see its messed up, but it is FAR from being destroyed.

jup..well..but THEY can't afford tu built it up again.
fuselage is a bit twisted and more ..guess 70-80% loose

[Krusty]

Pretty nasty landing if the engine mounts broke free of the engine. Sometimes the engine mounts are all that's left of some wrecks, hate to think of how badly the plane hit to knock the engine off.

idiots. Its one of what..one in the world.
I can understand why they fly ponys and maby spits. But why in hell would they fly probably the only 109g4 in the world.

What Pongo said.

I remember when in Wanaka airport (NZ) they showed me a Japanese Ki-?, the last one in flying conditions, but they could not fly it becouse it was the last one in the world.

@pongo,

it was their plane, they restaurated it in the last 10 years...so it is their privilege to fly them. all their work, no "official" museum or organization behind it.
and..it was not a 100% original 109G4.
their task was to built a flying! 109 ..and they did.
they used a G6 as basic, remooved the bulkes, and added the lager oil cooler for the later G/K series.
so..at all it was an "bastard" 109...and their own.

of course it is sad...but..planes are built for flying..not getting dusty in a museum.


but..its a sad loose..for all..but especially for them

[BUG_EAF322]

exactly they should fly.
just like glacier girl the only flying original P38 G in the world.

What a waste if it didnt fly.

i noticed landing speed is pretty fast on that 109 btw.

[Furball]

i saw another video of that 109 flying, the pilot lost it coming over the top of an immelman turn and nearly pranged it then.  i remember thinking to myself then that it was only a matter of time before it crashed.

It isn't an original G-4...it's made from a Buchon.

I was going to go see it in the air on september at Hahnweide...that plan certainly got changed.

i wanna see the kittyhawk fly !  maybe add RATO to extend the flight!  just collecting dust anyways.

[Angus]

Sad.
BTW, I didn't spot the slats being out at all

[mussie]

its a pity its messed up and part of me agrees with pongo, but a bigger part says if it was my bird I would have to fly it, not thrash it just fly it.....

There is a saying, someone has it as their sig here.
"The purpose of life is not to arrive quietly at your grave in a perfect and pristine body, but to come sliding in sideways, in a bent, banged up and scared carcass screaming HELL what a ride......"

I am not saying crash the plane but hell ya gotta fly the dam thing, not let it sit quietly in a museum slowly corroding away, cause at some point in the future its going to just fall apart even if it just sits there.

that is of course unless you put it in a block or resin

"Fly It" vs "109 In Resin" easy choice

Later all
