Those weren't 109's - they were Messerschmitt Bf.108 TAIFUN's (Typhoon) - a 4 seater communication & liaison aircraft.

See the difference between the Bf.109 (top) & the Bf.108.

Actually not 108s but Pilatus P-2's

108s filled in for 190s in the Longest Day.

109Dora?

We already confirmed that it was a Bf.109E-3...

Oh no there not!

108 is a side by side cockpit.  P2 is front and back.  Different bird altogether

The '109s" from Indy Jones were P2s


The 109s from the Longest Day were Me 108s

The aircraft in Indiana Jones (3rd Movie) were Arado ar96 trainers, I believe.

Although these Pilatius aircraft look pretty similar at the casual glance.  You could convince me!

bf108 Taifuns were used in The Longest Day and Von Ryan's Express as bf109 stand-in's.

All my opinion of course.

See, now why can't we have 23 pages threads on cool stuff like this rather than a squeak off about who DA'd who to death?  Focus is way off. 
Awesome posts guys, it's always impressive to see how deep the knowledge pool is in this community.

Maybe this is what I was thinking of.

Go watch again

The rear of the cockpit was the giveaway for me.  Not an Arado although it would be an easy mistake to make

Yep. The canopy is a serious distinction.  I looked at some other photographs of the Arado and it has the distinctive Arado vertical stabilizer and rudder shape which of course in not present in the movie.

It's pretty close to the P2 from the spinner to the windscreen tho!   

Nice ID on that one Guppy!
