damn, the BF109 is a beautiful machine... the sound, the design... so beautiful but so deadly... 5 stars

[LVEbonys]

Almost perfect three point landing at the end.

[lilo689]

Can't believe that there's an aircraft like that alive, even after so many years!

@Sakai070 To be honest i dont think the Bf-109 would stall at 29000ft with slightest amount of turn... The Bf-109 had a speed at 640 km/h at 21000ft,and a cruise speed at around 600km/h at 20000.. service ceiling was just a few hundred feet under 40000ft... so think the Bf-109 easy could handle pretty sharp turns at 29000 Feet :D It could climb at 3400 ft/m... Powerful,dangerous and VERY good looking ww2 fighter :D

@mrceebees14 Yes, turn meat at the altitudes they were encountered at when the Mustangs were escorting bombers. At low altitudes in thick air, the margin of superiority was much smaller, sometimes none at all. If a 109 and P51 both bank into sharp turns at 5000 feet with the same amount of speed, the 109 is going to own him. At 29,000 feet, the 109 will stall with the slightest amount of turn, where the P51 will not and will own the 109.

[mrceebees14]

@Sakai070 I disagree on the outclimb and out turn, the P51 was much better. They didn't call the 109 "turn meat" for nothing.

[Sakai070]

@mrceebees14 Yes, the P51 was superior to the 109 in these ways.......but ONLY at high altitude. That laminar flow wing which gave the mustang it's range and speed also crippled it at lower altitude in the thicker air. At low altitude, say below 15,000 feet, the 109 out classed the P51 in every way except speed. The 109 could out climb, out turn, and out shoot the P51 down low, and they did. Head over to the Luftwaffe Aces site and see just how many pilots rated as experten against P51s alone!

[fjbutch]

***** to the pilot, aircraft, and the camera man.........fantastic..

@cobrachoppergirl

There are currently 5 flyable Me109s with a few more in the works. I agree that the post-war scrapping was tragic, yet some airframes were sold to public at auction back then and in later years. Contemporary warplanes are too complex and too expensive for civilian use (a few are in private hands, such as a new Mig-29 and an F-18 needing millions in repairs to fly) but generally there are laws requiring the equipment to be destroyed before it is sold to public scrap companies.

Crazy that of the most produced plane in all of history, only one flying copy is left. Humanity and its wastefulness. Decommisioned military planes need to be auctioned off to the public. Look at all these planes rotting away in US graveyards being gutted and trashed just for parts. Meanwhile, 99.99% of the public will never be able to ever afford their own plane, particularly folks like me who would fly the hell out of any old rusty bathtub given a chance.
