I'm so thankful people take care of these magnificent human masterpieces for the next generations to see (incl. me). This plane is so beautiful and addictive to watch and listen to. I really love it more than so much else in this world!
The mechanic on this aircraft must be a wizard. The engine starts immediately, goes quickly and smoothly to idle, then runs perfectly in flight. Genius.
I know many people rave about how good the Rolls Royce Merlin engine sounds... but to me, the complexity of the sound that the DB-605 makes is just phenomenal. Awesome to hear such a high-quality audio recording!
@@Warbirds Ich weiß nicht wie es jetzt ist, aber lange Zeit hat sich ja Daimler sehr zurückgehalten wenn es um Unterstützung ging, etwa sogar bei der Beschaffung von Teilen wie Einspritzdüsen.
Ich habe einmal eine live erlebt in Augsburg, weil sie dort auf einer Graspiste der Segelflieger starten und landen konnte. Und der Pilot (von MBB, einer von zweien, die die Werksmaschine fliegen durfte) führte eine der beiden damals flugfähigen Exemplare richtig krass vor, mit Kondensstreifen an den Flügelspitzen!
I grew up next to RAF Notholt which was a hurricane station during the war and I got used to spitfires, hurricanes and Lancaster's gathering there for London flyovers. One year they had a 109 and a Mustang fly in and it was awesome to see them all flying off together to an air show somewhere. You could hear the difference between the engine sounds. They all sounded and looked amazing. My dad, who fought in the war made a joke that the last time he heard that sound he was ducking for cover in a muddy ditch. He was impressed and I could see a tear in his eye. I'm so glad that both countries keep these amazing machines flying. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Agree it's nice to see a Buchon get a DB so we've got another Bf-109ish thing flying. But remember, the Buchon was a real fighter plane in it's own right. The merlin gave it an over 5000ft/min climb, something the DB605 could never do.
@@chrissimmonds3734 without substitute parts,There would be no 109 to fly,Some parts simply no longer exist or if original parts do exist,They will be needed as templates to build a replacement... nobody is going to use 100 percent original parts in a flying restoration many parts are irreplaceable and if they are broken or damaged..that's 'it' they are gone and then there's another 109 on static display or sitting in a museum cordoned off and you can't even get close enough to it to get even a whiff of fuel fumes.
When you think about the fact that Germany was unable to obtain large quantities of high octane fuel during the war it is even more impressive that they were still able to get performance close or equal to the allied aircraft running 100 or even 130 octane. Say what you want about the Nazis but German engineering was superlative during those times. Beautiful plane.
The USA secretly supplied 100 octane fuel to the RAF just in time for the BoB, enabling the Merlin to run at higher manifold pressure, a distinct advantage.
@@drstrangelove4998 yes but the Merlin was normally aspirated and carbureted not charged and fuel injected like the DB so the higher compression and fuel octane rating was necessary for performance.
Firstly, they could only achieve equal performance by using water/methanol and nitrous oxide injection with limited quantities of high octane fuel. This was on a limited amount of Bf109k. The Mustang equalled it’s performance with a smaller engine while the Spitfire XIV exceeded the k model performance in every way, As for German engineering, did the build a successful heavy bomber? Or a powered gun turret? Did they develop the Cavity Magnetron? Or the Atomic bomb? Nope.
Is it just me but the designs of the German army during WW2, from planes, tanks, uniforms, weapons absolutely everything, were works of art, not matched by even todays armies. Every part of this plane looks so well designed, proportions, angles, size, it looks like a menacing shark.
I tend to agree with you on your thoughts about the german military design of the day, perhaps with the exeption of military vehicles you know Kübelwagen etc
I can't say that about ALL German war machines (some of them are bit overengineered or even ugly), but the whole Bf-109 family is indeed extremely beautiful. Iconic design
If the engineers had been left to design duties instead of trying to fulfill ridiculous demands from above, the war may have been very different...... germany wasnt so much beaten, but it lost the war thanks to incompetent leadership. Too many stupid decisions, too much wasted resources.

Beautiful. Congratulations. It is so good to see war birds restored and flying again. My brother received a BF109 building model for Christmas many years ago. It was quite a big scale with very high definition. I remember how proud he was when he finished it. Was also a beautiful model. Again congrats. Regards from South Africa.
They always say this to boost the value of the aircraft. The ONLY original Bf 109 to fly since the mid 1950s was the RAFMs Bf 109 G-6/Trop Black 6 ALL the others are converted Buchons or replicas based on very minimal, if any, original airframe parts.

you guys and girls have worked another miracle. What an absolute gem. love the sound of that Daimler Benz, there's nothing else like it. This plane is such a treasure, thank you for restoring her so we can all enjoy this gem.
Absolutely beautiful. It is wonderful that the aircraft from WWII is restored and keep for the world to enjoy. Personally I think this era of aircraft is the most enjoyable /beautiful for sound and design.
In 1964, Operation Steelpike I was an amphibious landing by the 2nd Marine Division in southern Spain. I was a 2d Lieutenant USMC, in command of a rifle platoon. As we prepared to conduct a helicopter assault over the beach, Spanish air force planes were in the air, including ME 109s and P 51 Mustangs. It was a thrill to see these warplanes operational. Subsequently, in 1965, while deployed to the Dominican Republic, I, and the other Marines in the same area, had the rare distinction of being strafed by P 51s being flown by the Dominican forces.
That warbird had a distinct sound and when I heard stories from my uncle about that aircraft he shakes his voice when he speaks of it. Awesome design and a true aircraft for the ages to enjoy
Yes. It is a tool, that does not know government. It is a bird of prey. Like an eagle, or hawk. Timeless , classic, formidable. It, and the men who flown it are heroes. No matter the the nationality.
Beautiful plane and sound. Thanks for letting us hear the sounds without music or narration. Thank you so much. Reminds me of my IL2 days. They did pretty good replicating sounds.
Never tire of the look, never tire of the sound and sight in the air. It’s simply magnificent what you have achieved. When we are allowed to travel reliably I would love to see, in person, one of these birds fly at your field.
Thank you for this remarkable upload. That BF 109 has always been my favorite plane of all time. I really regret that we Don't even have one in hour museum in Normandie. Thank you very very mush for that sound.
It is absolutely amazing the quality and all the different weapons, places, tanks etc that all countries developed back in those days! Truly remarkable!
After watching this pilot do his pre-flight inspection I can see I need to step up my pre-flight game. I watched him do a few things I'd never even thought of doing. I'm 68. I'm not bold, but I am older and I'd like to keep it that way. Thank you for that valuable instruction, Mikael Carlson.
Beautiful aircraft, sounds great, it almost "whistles" as it goes by....love the sound of the engine cranking up!....note the technical progress...only one man needed to move the plane out...great video, thanks!!
Say what you will about the German war machine, We all have our politics,. But on this site I like to admire German engineering and the planes they designed and built and used to great effectiveness,
The bf 109 is a beautiful aircraft and an iconic piece of German war machine during world war 2 it great to see one in such amazing condition and all the young German pilots that few them , i remember as a child building model kits of this plane and all aircraft of world war 2 , this plane looks just as menacing and frightening as it would have been back in the war 😮
That Daimler DB 605 engine sounds beautiful, but it does still sound different than the Merlin, I believe I would be able to tell without seeing the aircraft whether it was Friend or Foe. Thanks for the wonderful demo flight.
Great to see such a thorough pre-flight. I'm sure the ground crew are consummate professionals, but as PIC the ultimate responsibility... I like the way he gave the wing tips and flaps a good wiggle, checked the leading edge slats and looked into the pitot tube - wasps dont need A/S indicators, but we do, and a nest in the tube will make for a challenging day... Bet this pilot is as meticulous with every airframe, be it a C-152 or a BF 109 !
The technology that was present in aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s never ceases to amaze me to this day. Automotive technology by comparison seemed so last century.
Fantastic . So many years after coming off the drawing board , it's ageless . It looks and sounds , I imagine the same as it did straight off production line .
Nice to see someone have the shutter speed on their video camera set correctly to get the nice prop blur. Also, rest of your video work was beautiful, too.
I'll bet the preflights were that thorough for all the guys that came home - the English Channel doesn't look like a large stretch of water until you encounter a problem halfway across it (I know that would have been Bf109Es, but the point still stands).
Such a coincidence, I was just reading Robert Grinsell's book, that my Dad picked up at a garage sale the other day. Over 30,000 of these planes were produced. I had a fairly good sized diecast toy of one when I was a kid. Loved that plane!
We should never forget these machines were designed for air superiority and ultimately to kill but they are incredidly fascinating machines, i've been building scale models of these things for 50 years, Spits, Mustangs, 109's, Typhoons, Fw190's, etc. The fascination and admiration and respect for these machines and the men who flew them is still as strong as ever, great video 😁
So good to see and hear the DB engine in a Bf-109. The ''landing'' however if not mistaken was the now Merlin powered two- seater, D-FMGZ. if i am correct it was powered by a DB engine before the Merlin.
The most beautiful airplane ever! German vehicles from the war are always the stars of every exhibition. Whether that of the Tiger, the FW190, the ME 109, . . . . . . . Everyone wants to see them.
Why?The British and the American War Birds are equally beautiful. It's simply the dark Nazi-Mystic-Shit that makes thoseGerman War-Machines for some people so interesting. And don't forget what they were made for: to make war-to fight for a regime that built gas chambers too!!!
Beauty is something very subjective ... Anyway nice restoration for an efficient fighter despite a sinister reputation. The "truncated" svastika on the tail is questionable, to say the least, especially for a plane registered in Germany. Just my opinion.
@@drstrangelove4998 Yes probably: it's indeed illegal except for the purposes of historical representation. It's the grey area ... In my country it's the same: forbidden except for artistic (historical films, etc.) or religious (Hindu Gods bearing the swastika) purposes. In my view it's a problem since this symbol is not only referring to the Nazi regime as such but also to the Holocaust. On another hand I know that, at least for history representation, it's debatable. Not simple
An amazing aircraft. The sound of these planes surely instilled fear from anyone that heard them. My grandfather said it was one of the most recognizable sounds while he was in the war.
Boah, hört der DB 605 sich sauber an. Chapeau vor Rinner Motors Austria. Sauber hin bekommen, das gute Stück. Es ist schön, so ein historisches Stück Ingenieurskunst zu sehen und zu hören.
amazing how it changed to a two seater during the landing and then back to a one seater on the roll out :D. Anyway good to see another one up in the air. :)
It's got to be a nightmare getting the pieces pulled together for the engine,I don't know alot about airplane restoration but I do know those Daimler engines are extremely hard to come by...I would like to see some of the Wizardry that goes into repairing parts that are just not available.. so some creative machine shop work and a clever machinist would be worth his weight in Gold
Thanks to computer-assisted manufacturing they can now easily produce lost components. In the 1940s they just cranked engine parts out as fast as possible and used whatever metal was available Longevity wasn't an issue because the aircraft would last less than a month in Frontline service
@@jamesricker3997 I was wondering how much could now be made that way, Quite a few years ago I read some articles about a 109 and a Mitsubishi Zero being restored and the restoration folks were scouring the pacific islands and Europe for any parts they could find so an original engine could be rebuilt and fitted to the airframes...they even fished discovered crash sites for usable or repairable crankshafts,blocks, Cylinders and sleeves..I was just amazed they were able to get the planes running
@@jamesricker3997 About a year ago i was reading some translations of daily reports from different Jagde-schwader flight groups and the attitrition of available flightworthy aircraft on a daily basis was pretty dismal . You would read where a group commander would say that they left with 20 someing aircraft and perhaps 11 would be forced to return due to mechanical difficulties. A question was asked as to how many hours before a rebuild was needed and i was astonished @ how low the hours were but I cannot remember ...seems like it was sub 200..or perhaps even less. As to armor it was said that Axis and Allied both required tending to practically daily. Guess we shouldnt be surprised it is after all a very hostile environment and equipment is pushed to the limit.
Really great video , amazing to see these larger than life with such clear sound ! Really is a menacing looking aircraft strangely pretty, always liked the 109 long may it continue to fly !
Seen & heard a lot of warbirds here in California, Reno Air Races, even Oshkosh. Would love to see a 109 with the DB605. Thanks for posting this awesome video. And huge thanks to all responsible for the restoration, so us mere mortals can enjoy the sight and sound of such an awesome machine.👍😎
Quite the collection, from the two ME 109's, the FW 190 and the two seater Buchon, simply amazing that any of these aircraft even exist let alone are in such great flying shape, congratulations.
The first 10 seconds is like something I thought I would never experience. Just like that 190 they pulled out of the woods & got it flying again. Two of 3 main fears of allied airmen in WW2. First being "flak." Nice reference source also.
Dieser Sound repräsentiert die Brutalität und Unbarmherzigkeit der damaligen Zeit, auch bei den Gegnern. Ausgelöst nur durch einen ehemaligen verirrten Obdachlosen. Leute, habt Respekt vor euren Obdachlosen, wenn ihr einem begegnet !

Beautiful bird. Its funny seeing it taxy by the large heavy, and the little cessnas and pipers. Looks you had a little wind that day.. Awesome bird!!!😎
@@JakeOchs I used to use the old metal puller to push and pull the C-152 when I was soloing or just putting it away, but that thing is amazing! I noticed it and though," What the heck was that?" Pretty cool!
I have been told by an old WW2 aircraft mechanic ( my late father) that the original BF 109 engine crankshaft was so well perfectly hand machined by German machinists with a method still secret today. They don't know how they did it.
The crankshaft also had a cannon barrel running through it which made it all the more difficult to machine. There's nobody making them anymore so every time a warbird crankshaft gets bent, it renders the 109 unrestorable. 🤠
@@jamesburns2232 No it doesn't. The motorkanone was laid in the base of the vee between the cylinders, and through the reduction gear on the front of the engine.
In the background a Hispano. That's ok too. I was devastated when G9 Black eight was pranged. A current E9 project ongoing in California. Planes of Fame. Flight date keeps sliding to the right but that's ok.
Lovely sound despite the switch to a Buchon for the landing around the 13.30 mark. Used to watch these at Biggin Hill in the UK when I lived there back in the day. The DB 605 sure sounds sweet.. don't see any warbirds these days over here in Malaysia 😭. Thanks for sharing this video to remind me of what I'm missing 👍🇲🇾. Stay safe 😷

That warbird had a distinct sound and when I heard stories from my uncle about that aircraft he shakes his voice when he speaks of it. Awesome design and a true aircraft for the ages to enjoy
Yes. It is a tool, that does not know government. It is a bird of prey. Like an eagle, or hawk. Timeless , classic, formidable. It, and the men who flown it are heroes. No matter the the nationality.
An amazing feat of restoration and parts scrounging/re-creation.
Not a restoration but a data plate replica. The original totally destroyed in 1944 apart from a few parts.
Beautiful plane and sound. Thanks for letting us hear the sounds without music or narration. Thank you so much. Reminds me of my IL2 days. They did pretty good replicating sounds.
Never tire of the look, never tire of the sound and sight in the air. It’s simply magnificent what you have achieved. When we are allowed to travel reliably I would love to see, in person, one of these birds fly at your field.

Thank you for this remarkable upload.
That BF 109 has always been my favorite plane of all time. I really regret that we Don't even have one in hour museum in Normandie. Thank you very very mush for that sound.
It is absolutely amazing the quality and all the different weapons, places, tanks etc that all countries developed back in those days! Truly remarkable!
Wow, I'm jolly impressed by the Towbot! The plane was pretty good too!
LOL Good too
Like to have one for home use.
After watching this pilot do his pre-flight inspection I can see I need to step up my pre-flight game. I watched him do a few things I'd never even thought of doing. I'm 68. I'm not bold, but I am older and I'd like to keep it that way.
Thank you for that valuable instruction, Mikael Carlson.
Beautiful aircraft, sounds great, it almost "whistles" as it goes by....love the sound of the engine cranking up!....note the technical progress...only one man needed to move the plane out...great video, thanks!!
Thanks watching and commenting
Say what you will about the German war machine, We all have our politics,. But on this site I like to admire German engineering and the planes they designed and built and used to great effectiveness,
The whistle is the sound of the compressor.
Yes, it does indeed whistle, fabulous.
This plane is so beautiful. Although it has been more than 70 years, it is very well maintained!
The deeper tone of those huge cylinders is apparent. Very pleasing to the ear. Well done team restoration.
i love it
Nothing beats the original DB605. Congratulations on the restoration and the sharing of the video.
Thx mate
Awesome aircraft, looks and sounds terrific, a credit to all who worked it.
Very nice video 👍
Thanks beeing here Mitch
Воскрешая картины 2-й мировой, эта машина доказывает: таким врагом можно гордиться!
Sounds terrifying as well, those things are scary yet beautiful.
lt is always good to see history flying again🛩....Awesome...Thanks very much👍👀
Thanks watching Steve
Beautiful aircraft! A work of art!
Gee, that DB 605 engine! *chef's kiss* - magnificent!
The bf 109 is a beautiful aircraft and an iconic piece of German war machine during world war 2 it great to see one in such amazing condition and all the young German pilots that few them , i remember as a child building model kits of this plane and all aircraft of world war 2 , this plane looks just as menacing and frightening as it would have been back in the war 😮
I’m gonna say that is a high time pilot, professional preflight inspection, wonderful piloting. Awesome to see an original flying again!
Thx 🙏
agreed...you know for sure they don't just let anyone climb into the cockpit of an aircraft like that, regardless of flying time.
Not original, a constructed 'data plate' replica, please seek my posts above for more details
@@chrissimmonds3734 The DB 605 is original though.
@@darkknight1340 Yes it is and a very fine job of a rare piece
The G6 model was my first ever clue together model plane in built. Really excited to see it fly.
Mine was the Corsair

Mine was a very old 1/72 Spitfire IX Airfix... Wings too heavy to stay hanged..
I was twelveteen.... 🤣
@@tonykeith76 I got an Revell Corsair F4U because of this Pazifik War television Series

Same! Was it it an old Revel? Something about the box art grabbed me as a kid. WW2 German kit always seemed to have the most aesthetic appeal.
What an amazing machine! And that engine sound is awesome!
That Daimler DB 605 engine sounds beautiful, but it does still sound different than the Merlin, I believe I would be able to tell without seeing the aircraft whether it was Friend or Foe. Thanks for the wonderful demo flight.
Cleanest looking warbird I have ever seen! Thorough pre-flight. Superb sound. Great video. Thank you.
Thx watching
Great to see such a thorough pre-flight. I'm sure the ground crew
are consummate professionals, but as PIC the ultimate responsibility...
I like the way he gave the wing tips and flaps a good wiggle, checked the
leading edge slats and looked into the pitot tube - wasps dont need A/S indicators,
but we do, and a nest in the tube will make for a challenging day...
Bet this pilot is as meticulous with every airframe, be it a C-152 or a BF 109 !
Mikael is a great man! Take off and landing a BF 109 G is very tricky! I include Klaus Plasa and all other current BF 109 pilots!
Good they brought them back to earth
Klaus Plasa is the tall blond chap, helping the pilot before the start, by the way.
Great show. It’s always good to see beautiful airplanes
Thanks beeing here
The technology that was present in aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s never ceases to amaze me to this day. Automotive technology by comparison seemed so last century.
Fantastic . So many years after coming off the drawing board , it's ageless . It looks and sounds , I imagine the same as it did straight off production line .
Thx liking
Nice to see someone have the shutter speed on their video camera set correctly to get the nice prop blur. Also, rest of your video work was beautiful, too.
I can just imagine an old veteran watching this thinking "Our aircraft never looked so good, and our preflights were never so thorough!"
And not having to start the bloody thing with a crank handle!!
Like a full MOT beforehand 👍
Well, a few Cs might've looked fine and dandy in....dunno' 1938?
WAIT!? It has to be with thé 605?
how did I ever survive being so exhausted? Wie habe ich jemals überlebt, so erschöpft zu sein? (thats Yankee Deutsch)
I'll bet the preflights were that thorough for all the guys that came home - the English Channel doesn't look like a large stretch of water until you encounter a problem halfway across it (I know that would have been Bf109Es, but the point still stands).
Such a coincidence, I was just reading Robert Grinsell's book, that my Dad picked up at a garage sale the other day. Over 30,000 of these planes were produced. I had a fairly good sized diecast toy of one when I was a kid. Loved that plane!
We should never forget these machines were designed for air superiority and ultimately to kill but they are incredidly fascinating machines, i've been building scale models of these things for 50 years, Spits, Mustangs, 109's, Typhoons, Fw190's, etc. The fascination and admiration and respect for these machines and the men who flew them is still as strong as ever, great video 😁

That Big old engine sounds terrifying at distance!! Amazing sound!!
Another beautiful restoration. Well done!
So good to see and hear the DB engine in a Bf-109.
The ''landing'' however if not mistaken was the now Merlin powered two- seater, D-FMGZ.
if i am correct it was powered by a DB engine before the Merlin.
correct
I noticed that too...I replayed that after it landed because I thought, "wait a second...that was not the same airplane..."
Wonderful, as always.
Thx mate
A beautiful aeroplane. Sleek lines, she looks shark like in the air. Fantastic sound of the engine.
Ty
What a hell of a video and who would have thought tyhat these can be brought back to their days of flying glory like you see now in this video.
The most beautiful airplane ever!
German vehicles from the war are always the stars of every exhibition. Whether that of the Tiger, the FW190, the ME 109, . . . . . . . Everyone wants to see them.
Why?The British and the American War Birds are equally beautiful. It's simply the dark Nazi-Mystic-Shit that makes thoseGerman War-Machines for some people so interesting.
And don't forget what they were made for: to make war-to fight for a regime that built gas chambers too!!!
You’ve never been to Chino when the only original A6M Zero is dragged out.
My favourite aircraft of all time, what a thing of beauty, so happy to see another one in flying condition :-)
Thx alex
Beauty is something very subjective ... Anyway nice restoration for an efficient fighter despite a sinister reputation. The "truncated" svastika on the tail is questionable, to say the least, especially for a plane registered in Germany.
Just my opinion.
@@patolt1628 the swastica is illegal in Germany, but I believe there can be an exception for museum artefacts?
@@drstrangelove4998 should be in my opinion
@@drstrangelove4998 Yes probably: it's indeed illegal except for the purposes of historical representation. It's the grey area ... In my country it's the same: forbidden except for artistic (historical films, etc.) or religious (Hindu Gods bearing the swastika) purposes.
In my view it's a problem since this symbol is not only referring to the Nazi regime as such but also to the Holocaust. On another hand I know that, at least for history representation, it's debatable. Not simple
An amazing aircraft. The sound of these planes surely instilled fear from anyone that heard them. My grandfather said it was one of the most recognizable sounds while he was in the war.
How did hear the engine of a ME-109?
Только вы со своими самолётами, что то о делались во вторую мировую😂😂😂
An absolutely beautiful aircraft the Messerschmitt Bf-109 , Excellent sound too. Thanks for the awesome video. 😁👍
Thank you beeing here
@@Warbirds you're welcome
Boah, hört der DB 605 sich sauber an. Chapeau vor Rinner Motors Austria. Sauber hin bekommen, das gute Stück. Es ist schön, so ein historisches Stück Ingenieurskunst zu sehen und zu hören.
amazing how it changed to a two seater during the landing and then back to a one seater on the roll out :D. Anyway good to see another one up in the air. :)
😂
Watch it again, two different planes
@@joevogliardo3131 u know that it was sarcasm do you? of course it's two different planes
It's got to be a nightmare getting the pieces pulled together for the engine,I don't know alot about airplane restoration but I do know those Daimler engines are extremely hard to come by...I would like to see some of the Wizardry that goes into repairing parts that are just not available.. so some creative machine shop work and a clever machinist would be worth his weight in Gold
Wonder how much a plane like this is worth? $3-4M?
One word. TRAWLERS
Thanks to computer-assisted manufacturing they can now easily produce lost components.
In the 1940s they just cranked engine parts out as fast as possible and used whatever metal was available
Longevity wasn't an issue because the aircraft would last less than a month in Frontline service
@@jamesricker3997 I was wondering how much could now be made that way, Quite a few years ago I read some articles about a 109 and a Mitsubishi Zero being restored and the restoration folks were scouring the pacific islands and Europe for any parts they could find so an original engine could be rebuilt and fitted to the airframes...they even fished discovered crash sites for usable or repairable crankshafts,blocks, Cylinders and sleeves..I was just amazed they were able to get the planes running
@@jamesricker3997 About a year ago i was reading some translations of daily reports from different Jagde-schwader flight groups and the attitrition of available flightworthy aircraft on a daily basis was pretty dismal . You would read where a group commander would say that they left with 20 someing aircraft and perhaps 11 would be forced to return due to mechanical difficulties.
A question was asked as to how many hours before a rebuild was needed and i was astonished @ how low the hours were but I cannot remember ...seems like it was sub 200..or perhaps even less.
As to armor it was said that Axis and Allied both required tending to practically daily. Guess we shouldnt be surprised it is after all a very hostile environment and equipment is pushed to the limit.
Very nice! Always love to see these old warbirds fly again. Magnificent!!

Absolutely stunning . Thanks for sharing this .

My favorite plane of that era by far, I absolutely love that plane.
Beautifully restored historical aircraft, sounds absolutely amazing. Side note: those tow bots are pretty nifty!
Quite the collection, from the two ME 109's, the FW 190 and the two seater Buchon, simply amazing that any of these aircraft even exist let alone are in such great flying shape, congratulations.

The first 10 seconds is like something I thought I would never experience. Just like that 190 they pulled out of the woods & got it flying again. Two of 3 main fears of allied airmen in WW2. First being "flak." Nice reference source also.
A V12 unmistakably sounds like a V12, no matter what configuration it's in. Fantastic to see the old bird flying with its original engine!

Yes it was windy
that little robo taxi (and the elec. starter) really set the contrast!
@@JakeOchs I used to use the old metal puller to push and pull the C-152 when I was soloing or just putting it away, but that thing is amazing! I noticed it and though," What the heck was that?" Pretty cool!
I have been told by an old WW2 aircraft mechanic ( my late father) that the original BF 109 engine crankshaft was so well perfectly hand machined by German machinists with a method still secret today. They don't know how they did it.
The crankshaft also had a cannon barrel running through it which made it all the more difficult to machine. There's nobody making them anymore so every time a warbird crankshaft gets bent, it renders the 109 unrestorable. 🤠
@@jamesburns2232
No it doesn't.
The motorkanone was laid in the base of the vee between the cylinders, and through the reduction gear on the front of the engine.

In the background a Hispano. That's ok too. I was devastated when G9 Black eight was pranged. A current E9 project ongoing in California. Planes of Fame. Flight date keeps sliding to the right but that's ok.
Aaah thanks, I was wondering what it was. Makes a huge difference in the front end design...
Lovely sound despite the switch to a Buchon for the landing around the 13.30 mark. Used to watch these at Biggin Hill in the UK when I lived there back in the day. The DB 605 sure sounds sweet.. don't see any warbirds these days over here in Malaysia 😭. Thanks for sharing this video to remind me of what I'm missing 👍🇲🇾. Stay safe 😷
Great video without mixing in annoying background music. "Black 8" is truly a beautiful masterpiece next to "Black 6".
