Well,that gave me goosebumps! The 109 can really shift!

Flying again, brilliant!

It's great to see her flying again, congratulations to all the brave workers who spend all those hours getting it back on track! It's amazing what restorers are able to do with money and ethusiasm

 

Hope to see her flying in 3D one day and hearing this monsterous DB605. This is the amazing expirience I'm looking forward to

Lordy, the sound of that V-12!

Thanks for posting.

Sweepstakes on how long it is before it's lying in another field?

Of course she's back. I never doubted it for a second

I was able to see it fly a few years back at the Airpower 2005 airshow in Austria. Great-sounding plane, for sure.

Odd enough the crash was pilot error. Like all fuel lines the 109's is in the bottom of the take the pilot flew up side down for more than ten seconds thus totally draining the line of fuel.

Again?  Man, That's a real hard luck aircraft.

 

On a side note though, look how uneven and manky that grassed area appears.  Not to mention the length of the grass itself.  It would probably feel very much like the unprepared areas on BoS airfields.  Certainly puts things in perspective.
