Messerschmitt Bf-109E-3 Emil - Flying Heritage Collection

[RoughRiderElk]

AWSOME! Your lucky to see it fly!

[fight2flyphoto]

For an updated video from the 2011 flying season, check out my Luftwaffe Day video featuring this 109E-3 and Fw-190, plus the Battle of Britain video. 8:09 in that video features a nice closeup of the 109 doing its engine runup about 25 feet away.

[zockerapfell]

it does have an E4 canopy though doesnt it?

[FiveCentsPlease]

@zockerapfell

Yes. The E4 canopy was sometimes a field mod.

[Weibkoln]

You had to see my grandpa his face when I showed this,

That look in his eyes coult kill us all...

A Bf-109 in this condition, in the USA...

[w5andre]

good!!!is original engine?????

[FiveCentsPlease]

@w5andre

Yes, original engine.

[daveymojo]

oh get a life you sad tossers....moaning cos a woman was heard to "speak" on the audio.SO WHAT? i think its refreshing that she appreciates old aircraft like this you joyless old morons.

[Brian79camino]

i like the "victory wave" at 1:02

[BlackWiiOwner2010]

Very cool video, thanks for sharing. Have you seen the Collings Foundation planes and heard the history?

[bmwdb605]

is this the original engine

i think not so

[FiveCentsPlease]

@bmwdb605

Yes, the original engine for the type.

[Serjilion]

As for this bucket with a screw at all flew?

[pneulancer]

Unbelievable; my hat's off to all those who worked so hard to get this beauty airworthy!

[sochutao]

This plane is the best, ever! Thank you very much for video.

My dream is see one this, just you did!



[19babyjack55]

Well, hopefully, that woman WILL see this discussion! The audio was respectful of the aircraft and the entire scene all the way through until the ending sequence, when her audio presence "arrives" and she reduces things to the level of, say, SpongeBob SquarePants.

Sorry, she wrecked it.

[fight2flyphoto]

@19babyjack55 Fuck you, ass-tard, that's my wife who now has cancer. She was excited to see the plane. If you don't like it why don't you come here and make a better video.

[Poopingbotham]

@19babyjack55 Well, for me, she ADDED to the footage. Why don't you leave her alone? She probably reads these comments

[Poopingbotham]

Are there now more than one airworthy Bf 109E's? Or is this "White 14" re-painted?

If it's a E3, what happened to its rounded canopy?

[FiveCentsPlease]

@Poopingbotham

This is not White 14. There are two airworthy Emils presently. A number of 109s are in restoration to flight, but progress (and parts) are slow for rare planes like these. I believe this E-3 was upgraded with the newer canopy in the field.

[Morgteck]

I've always considered the Bf-109 to be an absolutely beautiful airplane. I feel the same way about the Spitfire, the Zero, the Mustang, the Hurricane, the Focke-Wulf 190, the Kawasaki Hien, the Nakajima Hayate, the P-38, the Yak 3, the Macchi 202 and any number of other fine WWII fighters. If you cannot look beyond your ancient political grudges to the sheer beauty of a well designed and graceful airframe...too bad for you...."Dude".

[trimode1]

601 the sound is always goose flesh !!

[1339LARS]

What can I say, beautiful!!!!!!

[OMG6400]

lol it was better when he kills any other planes xD

[ichmalealsobinich]

That's a Bf-109 E-4 not E-3, which has an another canopy.

[FiveCentsPlease]

@ichmalealsobinich

It's an E-3 which served in France until lost in July 1940.

[ichmalealsobinich]

@FiveCentsPlease If this is the case than the engineers made a failure during its restoration. I am just building a Bf-109 E-3 in 1/48. The E-3 had a definetively different canopy which was similar to that one of the earlier B-D versions.

[FiveCentsPlease]

@ichmalealsobinich

Spend any time in a modeling forum, as I do, and you'll see that accuracy discussions of a given model kit between the spectrum of model kit makers can cause lively debates, broken friendships, and possible bloodshed. This particular Emil is owned by a museum known for going to great efforts for authenticity and accuracy in restorations, even remanufacture of materials. (Wait til you see their Fw190.) They say it's an E-3 and I'll take their word over Trumpeter or Tamiya.

[FiveCentsPlease]

@ichmalealsobinich

The improved E-4 canopy was retrofitted to some earlier E models, so it's possible that this E-3 was given the E-4 improved canopy during its service life.

[storchnuts]

and off to one side yes folks its a storch or to me sex in motion love it

[Rosacruz01]

carajo, creo ke estoy enamorado... Fuck, i think i'm in love!!!

[kyle82386]

[kaiserkid01]

[punkassvlad]

Excellent plane!

[lost88argo]

I love this airplane is beautiful

[aeroroldy]

thanks for the video, I was at past weekend exhibition, but my filming was a very low quality one!

[mixerd0822]

is this the 109 they found in russian forrest?

[FiveCentsPlease]

No, the Russian forest plane is a Fw190 and it's still being restored. But Flying Heritage owns it now too.

[gtvapsamtik]

WHO EVER recorded this , great quality. thx

[nuterwes]

wow great

[noonoobaggins]

Absolute gem, such a great recording, love the engine ticking over, thanks for sharing.

Wow, would I love to see this at The Flying Legends airshow at Duxford, even better if it could be followed by a Spitfire along the Severn Valley Railway during the 1940's weekend, heaven.

Thanks.

[Hellsin2]

Breathtaking!

[spanish111japan]

Hery , este video me encanta ademas de porque es mi avion favorito!. A por cierto tengo una duda , no me acuerdo cuando , pero el simbolonazi se prohibio , como es que aun hay pilotos que lo tienen en su avion , es para darle un toque historico?

[fight2flyphoto]

Wow! Thank you so much, everyone! There will be MUCH more to come next week! (in the form of a B-17G, B-25, P-51, P-40C, and an I-16)

[Tuckie]

I absolutely loved the sound, and those low passes... experienced pilot!

[cNcFalc]

the sound is just awesome

[328thDoodle]

Great video! Thanks for sharing, Fight.

[testomatic12345]

Fantastic, thanks for this. Perfekt plane.

[fight2flyphoto]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm in the process of getting a better mic with a wind guard so the next videos don't have all the popping from the wind.

[Chriss1966M]

Good Record. Good Sound of the Mashine. This is real Sound of the Plane.
