Messerschmidt ME 109
by Volker Weber
This is the only one that flies. If you want to see it, visit the Flugtag 2005 in Oppenheim this weekend.
More warbirds and pictures from the airshow.

Thanks for posting this; I have to point some friends to your pictures.
I read Willi Heilmann's "I Fought You From The Skies" [American title; German title is "Alarm Im Westen"] as a teen, and felt great empathy for the pilots of these craft. I built countless models of this and the Focke-Wulf.
There's an ME-262 rotting on the lawn at Willow Grove Naval Air Station in Pennsylvania, or was when I left NJ ten years ago. I hope someone undertakes to preserve it with the care this ME-109 has obviously been lavished with.
I would love to have a go flying an old plane like that.
Garret, it was rebuilt from parts.
Carl, there is exactly one plane flying. Four people know how to fly it. Three of them own the bird. Fat chance they let you fly it. ;-)
What a beauty - would love to see her fly!
That is awesome! Thanks for posting this.
Saw a flying Me 109 last week at Duxford not sure if its the same plane. The colour scheme is different mottled cameflage with a snake insignia. Tried to put a picture here but couldn't.
Graham.
