On the scale of "109 down" outcomes that looks about as good as it gets.  The pilot is ok and the Bf109 looks like it is pretty ok as well considering.

"Red 7" again. That'll be the third time for this bird. It must be cursed. Looks like a wheels-up landing. Last time the landing gear wouldn't extend; looks like it might be the same issue this time.

Here she is after the first crash. Pilot error. Landed with one wing and one wheel hitting the ground. Ripped the gear off.




The second: Gear wouldn't extend. Looks pretty nice for a belly landing.





But when she works she is beautiful!

At first, I wasn't willing to trust the first picture, it looked fake.

No, not very accessible area, and roads congested due to the airshow - so we have to estimate the auger score based on others photos  :D
