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. :(

Wow I find it hard to believe it has been almost 38 days since our last path. We should have release another 38 versions by now  :bhead

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?
