109E

Look how relatively small the RL 109 was/is. Would love to go to an airshow like this.

yeah I've been up close to one of the spanish 109's they used in filming battle of brittain. It wasn't much bigger than a car. If anyone ever makes it to Oregon. The Evergreen museum in Monmoth has a flyable 109G-10 in the hanger. The Buchon I saw is in Tillamook, OR.

Wooo, I'd love to see that G-10! Trouble is that Buchon is ugly, looks a lot like the spit without the big wings. The slim nose of the Damiler Benz engined 109 is what I love. Also, if you google up FW 190 there's quite a bit of good stuff at the Duxford air show (course you guys probably already know this).

Yeah, I know the Buchon allows for more flying "109s", a real rarity, but I've always hated it. It's not really a 109, looking like that with the wrong engine.

I just recently discovered the 190 flying videos from the summer shows. First real performances by 190 radials that I've ever seen. Its absence has been a glaring hole in the warbird rotation and I'm very glad to see they have one flying from the Flugwerk guys, and the White 1 F-8 is coming along nicely too. The one going now has the ASh engine. White 1 will have a BMW.

Very cool video, I think they only have two 109s flying in the world so it was nice to see one with what looked like the proper engine and not a modern one instead.

[Stachl]

I will be very interested in hearing the BMW once they get White 1 flying again! Still, those Flugwerks looked really cool doing those rolls didn't they. They sure made the Mustang look ugly (in my opinion anyway ). I also wish they'd fly that Yellow 10 Dora a few times and do a good video of it, then they could put it away for safe keeping.
