Some amazing 109 footage

Post by Skipper » Wed Jul 19, 2006 6:58 pm

Found these links over at the Shockwave forums:

http://www.flightlevel350.com/Aircraft_ ... -3671.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

His landings are a bit bouncy though....needs to head back to weiner school ;)

Pretty cool :)

I can't get over how SMALL it is! I've seen hurries and that merlin engined 109 in the same display area. The hurrie is a juggernaut compared to it! No wonder it only had a flight endurance of just slightly over an hour, there's no room for gas! Flying motor!

I was looking around on that site and also found P-51 videos. Just type in P-51 and it will take you to them.
