Shame alot of people say just because its German it's shit etc, I mean don't get me wrong, the Spitfire is a beaut! and the Underated Hurricane is too! but I'd so much rather see this fly for excitement reasons!

@FiveCentsPlease yes after it switched production facilities

@ImTheSeekr

Confusing, yes, even to the Luftwaffe. The "ME" prefix began in 1939 under direction of Messerschmitt AG. All aircraft manufactured prior used the "BF" prefix.

@FiveCentsPlease historically it was ME-109 but yes there was confusion about it's name.

[FiveCentsPlease]

@ImTheSeekr

Both terms continued to be used during the war, sometimes even in the same document.

finally someone who uses the correct name "ME-109" not BF-109

Depending on the laws in the country where the plane is registered, gun installations may be prohibited. Typically the guns must be demilled or made inoperative with firing pins removed or a plug welded into the barrel. Replica guns may also be used. It's not legal to fly with operational guns. For airshow entertainment, some planes used to fly with propane "machine guns" to make some noise, but I've never seen them in action. NZ may have had live fire shows.

Do these old planes that fly today still carry their machine guns/canons or dummys of the same weight?

i thought the me's had square tipped wings & it was the bf's that had rounded tipped wings?.

@TheMuffdivr it's "Flieger", not "Fleiger", IE instead of EI. ;) although, if you are english-speaking, you should PRONOUNCE both words like "Fleiger sind Seiger" or even "Fleeger sind Seeger".

for any non-german speakers: it means "Flyers"(Pilots) are "Winners".
