    Awesome! I'd love to see (and to hear) a BF-109 in flight

    this morning as I drank my coffee, I was wondering, how many BF-109's are there around flying today? Although it was the most produced fighter aircraft of all time, I hear that ~1/3rd were lost in takeoff/landing, and then many were destroyed by the end of the war. Are they a relative "rarity" to be flying today, or are there quite a few around? A tough question to answer, but I am nonetheless curious,

    Thanks,

    Stingray

    No you fruit bat. I am sure it is a towed model.

    even the original 163's were towed quite often before they were ever "sharp started"

    They could put in a new hydrogen pyroxide engine that is very safe but it would have no where near the power of the original I believe.

    Funny thing is it is flying with the dolly attached!

    Not a good idea to ever do with the original EVER!
