Uh-oh!

Are those wily Germermans gettin' ideas again?

Dutchman, Macca, better check your fences.

Don't worry - only 7 Messers planned to be build - we're not going to build 33.000 of one type again.

We're not even able to finish the Eurofighter and the Airbus A400M transporter.

We've let all the knowledge in the war or sold it to other countries

Hmmm...

Fences checked.

Results: there are no fences left.

we still have a few F16s though...but they are not reliable...

What have you done with the Mig-29 we sold you for 1 € ??

I've seen one of these in a museum two weekends ago.

We should have kept them

Not from the above mentioned "batch" production, but worth a post.
Virgin flights, from yesterday, in Manching/Germany.

A "Flugwerk" Focke Wulf 190






And my favourite Messerschmitt 109, the "Rote 7" - red 7





I like her so much because she was built from a Spanish Hispano HA-1112 at private hand in 7 years into a Messerschmitt 109 G-4, flew one year on airshows and crashlanded one day on her homefield.





Was rebuilt and sold from private hand to Messerschmitt Stiftung, belly landed once more on a test flight due to gear failure.



So, this is her 3rd comeback.
Can't wait to see her this airshow season up in the air !

She also made it into Il-2

I'd love to fly that
wonder how close it is to the game
