BF109E-4 Flies again!

Great to see folks restoring these authentic vintage birds to their former glory!  

Where was this?

Saw that on youtube a month or so ago.

That was impressive.  I wonder what my Father would have said if he saw that.

Here's one that would look great with it:

That is great!  I was afraid it would be one of those Spanish AF ships with the Merlin or whatever engine it was, that was used in the BoB movie.

Great video with lots of unnecessary music.  It never ceases to amaze me why people need to add background noise to these types of videos.  Let us hear the music of the Merlin, Griffon, DB601, DB605, Twin Wasp, etc.

I've had the privilege of seeing this Bf-109 in her natural element years ago.  Rob Erdos, one of he pilots at Vintage Wings of Canada, wrote a great review of what it's like to fly this aircraft while it was still owned by the Russell Group in Southern Ontario.  You can read it here:

Always nice to se this. It was supposed to be coming to the UK this year, but not sure if it did. This beats a boring Spit any dy.
