I was at the Russel Group's 2005 airshow in Niagara Falls this past weekend.  It is the home of the only flying 109 in North America, and the only flying 109E4 in the world.  This is not a replica or Spanish rebuild -- it is entirely original.  The restoration cost over $4 million dollars.  Pics follow.

Still going though them, might upload more tomorrow... however...

And a bunch of "reenactors" who stood around the two RAF birds and pretended to be aircrew.  Get laid much? :P
