Listen to that engine.  *drools*  THAT is what I want to here in here! :x


I am curious of the pilot of that 109 is still around. :headscratch:  If so, I can only wonder what he'd say at the sight of his 109 flying again.  And it looks like Snail won't ever see her in Germany. :(

The swastika is not a problem since it is a historic aircraft.

Here's a 109G in the Luftwaffe museum in Berlin:

We have a small aviation museum close to where I live and they have a DB603 on display on a crate. Too bad they cut the engine open to show the internals so that one won't run anymore.

Isn't this the 109 that struck a pole a farmer installed in his field at the end of the runway a few years ago?

Saw this baby fly in person back around 2006 or so alongside Spits and Hurris up near Niagara Falls.  I have pictures somewhere. 

What an experience.

That one has been flying for a while as has Paul Allen's Emil.

You can have the one in the video for a little under 4 million dollars as it's for sale.
