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?

Anti-aircraft pole?

Yeah. It was lightly damaged back in '09 by some jerk landowner.

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.

Just remember if you plan on buying it, don't spend your last dime you still need money for gas and the spare parts.  :devil
