- A preview of a 10 years restoration of a salvaged Messerschmitt 109 BF 109 G-6, due to be fully unveiled on the 27th of July 2022 at Warbird Alley.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a German World War II fighter aircraft that was, along with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force. The Bf 109 first saw operational service in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the Jet Age at the end of World War II in 1945. It was one of the most advanced fighters when it first appeared, with an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. It was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine. It was called the Me 109 by Allied aircrew and some German aces, even though this was not the official German designation.
It was designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser who worked at Bayerische Flugzeugwerke during the early to mid-1930s. It was conceived as an interceptor, although later models were developed to fulfill multiple tasks, serving as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day-, night-, all-weather fighter, ground-attack aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft. It was supplied to several states during World War II and served with several countries for many years after the war. The Bf 109 is the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with a total of 33,984 airframes produced from 1936 to April 1945. Some of the Bf 109 production took place in Nazi concentration camps through slave labor.
The Bf 109 was flown by the three top-scoring fighter aces of all time, who claimed 928 victories among them while flying with Jagdgeschwader 52, mainly on the Eastern Front. The highest-scoring, Erich Hartmann, was credited with 352 victories. The aircraft was also flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille, the highest-scoring ace in the North African Campaign who shot down 158 enemy aircraft (in about a third of the time). It was also flown by many aces from other countries fighting with Germany, notably the Finn Ilmari Juutilainen, the highest-scoring non-German ace. Pilots from Italy, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Hungary also flew the Bf 109. Through constant development, the Bf 109 remained competitive with the latest Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.
During 1933, the Technisches Amt (C-Amt), the technical department of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) ("Reich Aviation Ministry"), concluded a series of research projects into the future of air combat. The result of the studies was four broad outlines for future aircraft:
Rüstungsflugzeug III was intended to be a short range interceptor, replacing the Arado Ar 64 and Heinkel He 51 biplanes then in service. In late March 1933, the RLM published the tactical requirements for a single-seat fighter in the document L.A. 1432/33.
The projected fighter needed to have a top speed of 400 km/h (250 mph) at 6,000 m (20,000 ft), to be maintained for 20 minutes, while having a total flight duration of 90 minutes. The critical altitude of 6,000 metres was to be reached in no more than 17 minutes, and the fighter was to have an operational ceiling of 10,000 m (33,000 ft).

I'm glad they kept all the historical markings on the aircraft, great job.
I agree!
Seeing this in person at Oshkosh had me completely floored. This was a spectacular rebuild of a truly historical fighter.
👍
Absolutely beautiful all the work that went into this thanks for bringing back history just amazing!
It looks like an amazing restoration of a really rare, and historic fighter.
❤
よくぞ復元してくれた！
しかも塗装が大戦中の実機を忠実に再現している。
当時よく見られたスピナの白黒渦巻き塗装や、胴体のグレー２色のモットルリングも素晴らしい。
俺は猛烈に感動している。
Yeah buddy love to see all the old war birds flying in various types and especially the rare ones thumbs up
Thank you
I love how much work you put into your description, even on a "small" video like this one.
Ausgezeichnet!!! Ich liebe Gute arbeit!!!
Can't wait, the g variant of the 109 is my favorite
Not the K? Beefy beefy K?
@@BARelement k-4/6/8 (kurfust)
The Eurofighter team in Germany built a new one from scratch
What a beautiful plane.
I think it’s amazing how many men have museum quality restoration skills and equipment.
Probably only a few!
@@Dronescapes , I think it’s many if you take into account all forms of transportation, aero, rail and automotive.Seems like there are many garage machine shops in the USA.
Whatever you do don't do flying over Brittian during the daytime. Might run into a few Spitfires. LOL JK. Great looking plane. Very historic!
Ahhhh! the wonderful Spitfire! ❤👍
Great work! Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!
Hello there!
DANKE❣️ Best Regard's from Germany!🤝👏👏👏👍🇩🇪💫
Wonderful restoration gentlemen!
Espetacular.
One more 109 with original db605? Great job gents! I'm looking forward to hearing the machine roars again on July 27th!
The guys over in Danville did a helluva job on it. So cool to see it not have a damn allison engine stuffed in it too.
There's probably more DB engined Bf 109s flying now than in 1950. Awesome!
That's incredible . Looks awesome, I desperately want to see a Tempest with a Napier Sabre engine in flight worthy condition I hope it happens in my life time.
It will Right now, there's only a Mk II, but at least two Mk Vs are, or will be restored soon
Awesome restoration and achievement. Fuselage camouflage is lacking the RLM 02 spots ;-)
Indeed it is!
Wow, awesome. Ausgezeichnet.
The full unveiling on the 27th of July! 👍
Beautiful work guys
An amazing restoration especially considering what you started with.
The guys that restored BLACK 6 will have to stop crying about how hard it was to restore lol
A magnificent achievement.
OMG! THE MIGHTY AIRCRAFT WAS REBORN!
Ain't gonna lie I want to learn how to fly just so I can fly a P51 or a BF109.
Hmm, gonna be interesting 🤔 👍
Fucking heroes
Nice mic quality, all the funds went tho that swastika paint👌
Come on! This is just a sneak peek made by the Air2Air guys (who are not involved with the restoration).
Hey! I need drawings of the propeller, spinner and hub Messerschmitt bf-109. I no longer have any idea where to find it. Maybe you have a high-quality 3d model - even better :) Could you share? Please help me in this difficult task.
Cheers
If MidWest Aero doesn't have it, AirCorps might
@@Bluenose352 ty!
@@RoyksoppPeople Not a problem. Another great restoration company of the -109 is Meier Motors in Germany. They have restored, and converted at least three Bf-109's, and one HA-1112 with the DB 605. Great group of guys
@@Bluenose352
Thanks again! Grateful for your help! I wrote to both, but I'm not very sure that they will answer at least something, not to mention help and any actions
if i get rich ihave 3 things on my bucket list take pilot licence and get me a bf109 g6 and a gink tiger in working condition.
I hope he gets really lost and lands in England by mistake!
😄
Would you have loved us Germans in the 40s like that Bf 109…..
The money spent to make this thing look all pretty could have spent on helping disabled vets.
