From Wreck to Flight: Restoring a Crashed BF 109

Crazy thing is that 109 at 3:56 looks like Adolf Galland or at least his plane.

I saw this a few days ago. Great to see another DB engined 109 flying again.

But, there is so much wrong with that paint scheme. All that research on the real pilot and plane wasted.

Timeframe tells me this is likely a Mike Nixon engine.
