Dave B Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Listen to this G4 roar http://www.flightlevel350.com/viewer.php?id=3671 I believe this aircraft crashed at a later date?Another cool 109 vid http://www.avpics.de/lffamp/me109hw.wmv I love the sound when this beast starts!!Dave
gregM Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 I think you are right that the "Red 7" was destroyed in a crash.With only a handfull of warbirds left in flying condition, it amazes me that that theowners of these beauties would put them at risk buy actually taking them up.
joe campbell Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 kinda' brings out the teenage daredevil in me.....thanks for the link!joe
Dave B Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Glad you liked them I bet it was pretty terrifying being a soldier on the receiving end of a G6 strafing run!!...the noise that engine and supercharger makes in a dive not to mention of course the cannon and MG's Dave
VtwinVince Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Fantastic video of Red 7, the only thing missing is the Hakenkreuz on the fin. The conversation the mechanics are having is interesting, talking about what performance is necessary for what weight. I've always thought the DB601 and successors were one of the great engines ever produced.
Theodor Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) And have you seen this? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Edited January 13, 2006 by Theodor
Dave B Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Here is another 109 clip http://www.flyingmachines.tv/page1/files/109.wmvCheersDave
Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Dave,Wow! Thanks a lot for the links! The Me 109 is my favorite fighter ever produced, I just love that bird! Cheers DolfPS: Btw, the 2nd link, Post #1, is it still working? It's not working for me Edited February 15, 2006 by Dolf
J Temple-West Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 That's a nice one, Dave.. Will have to get the DVD when it's released.
Dave B Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Also one of my favourite planes Yes for some reason the second link isn't working,sorry about that.Did you notice how cramped the cockpit is,imagine trying to bailout of that Dave
Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Also one of my favourite planes Yes for some reason the second link isn't working,sorry about that.Did you notice how cramped the cockpit is,imagine trying to bailout of that DaveDave,I recently saw one of those documentaries on some cable channel (not sure if Discovery or History or Odissey or National Geographic, one of these anyway) and the name of the documentary was something like "The 10 best fighters ever".I must confess that I was sad that they placed "my" BF 109 only on 5th place, after the P51 Mustang (1st), the Spitfire (2nd), the Mig 21 (3rd) and the F 18 Hornet (4th).There were 5 others, I can't remember them all or the order in which they placed them, but I know there was the F80, the Harrier and the Red Baron aircraft at least.Well, that changed nothing to me as the BF 109 is and will allways remain for me the best ever It's almost certain that no one will ever beat the score of the Ace of the Aces, Oberst Erich Hartmann, with 352 victories!!! And what was he flying with?... Various models of the BF 109 Yes, I noticed how cramped that cockpit is!Hard work when modelling one of those birds, even on the 1/32 scale! Cheers Dolf
Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Dave,If you like the BF 109, and in general WWII aircrafts, check this:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5818&hl=Dolf

Dave B Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 109 vs Spitfire dogfight type thingy http://media.putfile.com/spitfire-vs-Me-109-dogfightDave
Dolf Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 109 vs Spitfire dogfight type thingy http://media.putfile.com/spitfire-vs-Me-109-dogfightDaveGreat! Thanks a lot for posting Dolf
VtwinVince Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Interesting link, Dave, however the 109's in that simulation are not BoB spec E's, as you can see from the lack of tail braces.
Hauptmann Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I recently saw one of those documentaries on some cable channel (not sure if Discovery or History or Odissey or National Geographic, one of these anyway) and the name of the documentary was something like "The 10 best fighters ever".I must confess that I was sad that they placed "my" BF 109 only on 5th place, after the P51 Mustang (1st), the Spitfire (2nd), the Mig 21 (3rd) and the F 18 Hornet (4th).There were 5 others, I can't remember them all or the order in which they placed them, but I know there was the F80, the Harrier and the Red Baron aircraft at least.Hi Dolf,Just thought I'd mention here that I believe these are run on History International. It seems to be a whole series on "The Ten Best...". They've done battleships, armored personnel carriers, tanks, fighter planes, bombers, etc. I try to tape them whenever I can catch one as I think they've done a terrific job with the series. And I've noticed that all the German gear tends to rank upper mid range to just under or at the highest marks in nearly all categories! Not bad considering they're taking them from the beginning right on up to present day. Nice to see that old German stuff holding it's own against our modern high tech.Dan

If I was a pilot, I would want to play with it also. I wonder how many of the Spanish aircraft are left in the world?Thanks for the links Dave Nothing like the sound of those old aircraft Axis or Allied.

Isn't it beautiful? )Dolf Edited April 29, 2006 by Dolf
Dolf Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Or this one, from the Tintin book "L'affaire Tournesol"... Dolf
