I would pay to have it fly over my house every day just to hear that DB engine.

[@MilitantOldLady]

***** The DB605 engine is just so utterly fantastic. The low bassy rumble with the whistle of the supercharger gives me goosebumps.

[@SchwabenkingOriginal]

before the EADS Messerscmitt Stiftung bought it i flew over my house nearly every day. I miss this plane. Im happy to hear that it's flying again.

[@jjdiy]

Dora fans here~ Jumo engine FTW

[@MilitantOldLady]

jjdiy The Dora is the greatest prop fighter of all time, but the DB engine is just the nicest sounding...the Jumo doesn't have the low end rumble.

[@jjdiy]

yes you are right. i have just compared those 2 sounds. DB sounds really nice with the bass rumble

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

Great video! Nice view of the automatic leading edge slats in operation. The tight confines of the 109 cockpit is readily apparent, as is the limited field of view, through the heavily framed canopy. Visual tracking of EA in combat must have been challenging. Despite these and other shortcomings, the 109 was still an extremely successful combat aircraft in the hands of a competent pilot, and the favorite mount of many Luftwaffe aces...Hartmann, Barkhorn, Galland, and Rall, to name a few..

[@SuperWhiteBarry]

You forget the ace of all aces --> "Hans-Joachim Marseille"! By far the most talented of them all, lived to see only 23 years of age, by then having shot down 158 planes in the Western theatre! Died in 1942 bailing out of his 109 G2 Trop after an engine failure/fire.

[@SilentHillFan2009]

what a gorgeous looking plane.

[@rickroscoe4734]

Do they ever talk to Mr. Bau, the pilot? Would love to hear his thoughts on the plane.

[@dfens666]

You should look for "Wings of the Luftwaffe" by Eric Brown. He flew almost every WW2 fighter made and has lots of comments on the "Gustav".

[@JAILRail]

I spoke to a man that flew a 109. He said that it’s loud and very hard to handle, especially when landing.

[@Errors2149]

i was there at Roskilde air show in 2015, it was an absolutely amazing experience to see this old war relic fly :D

With so few of them about I'm surprised they took the gunsight out. Would have thought they would have left it in for "authenticity". Then again I guess they need to make room for the gps...

[@Daffa137]

[@patrickcannady2066]

@@drewschumann1 yeah, that cockpit is very small. No need for it in what is now a 100% civilian aircraft.

My uncle died in a BF 109. This is why this type of aircraft has allways fascinated me.

[@theREAL5thAce1]

May have been the nemesis of our Spitfire and Hurricane but the DB engine on the Messerschmitt is a true feat of engineering. It definitely ears its place in history as one of Germany's greatest creations!

[@BigKWS]

This video is so well done it makes me feel like I could fly this plane with just a few hours of flight training. And I can't help but wonder what the top speed is on this plane. It seems to move pretty well.

[@TheWolfsnack]

[@NuGanjaTron]

@@TheWolfsnack What the hell's he doing? Trimming the aircraft?

[@BigKWS]

@@NuGanjaTron The throttle is on the left side and the elevator trim wheel is also down on the left too. So yes, he probably is adjusting the elevator trim.

[@pascalboidy2023]

amazing i like this plane!!

[@johnhilliard767]

Many thanks for a great video. Interesting to see the amount of aileron use during the take-off run and the using of elevator trim.I too was surprised to see how narrow the cockpit width is.One of the best fighter aircraft designs.

[@throttlebender1834]

Love the external sound as the aircraft does those diving passes, keep posting more please.

[@PaddyPatrone]

yes yes yes !

[@Melvorgazh]

I remember around 2014-2016 I saw a video with a guy in a very informal pair of bermuda shorts shouting something auf Deutsch while cracking something inside the cockpit before starting the engine and taking off. It looked funny and cool. Bit I haven't found that video in ages. Would that ring any bell? The video could have been older, but I remember watching it around 2015 a few times, a few minutes long if I remember correctly. Vielen Dank

[@RifullOfTheWest]

It sucks they dont have a phone # to call. I am looking for any museum interested in aquiring more German WW2 fighters. I know the location of 30+ BF-109s FW 190s and Me-262s.

[@tvlg4185]

@FLUGMUSEUM MESSERSCHMITT: please, just a question: I m 1 meter 82 cm long and when I sat into the cockpit of the BF-109 G-2 , I could not close the cockpit because I was just little too long , how this pilot could "fit" easy into that cockpit ? could you trim/regulate the high of that seat ? please tell me.

[@Kneedragon1962]

Adolph Galland was a quite successful fighter pilot. I got to read (a translation of) his autobiography, some years ago. He said that 109 pilots loved them, right from the start. But each model had some weakness or problem. New model, they'd fix the existing problem(s) but a new one would show up. The 'G' model, 'Gustav', was loved more than any other, because late in the war, when things were going rather badly, and the 109 was a very old fighter, they finally made one right. It just did exactly what it was supposed to do. All the problems had been fixed and no new ones added.

[@Mr.McWatson]

Which one are you talking about? I read the changes they incorporated into the K made it heavier and less maneuverable.

[@Kneedragon1962]

***** Yes, Hurricanes did most of the work. We haven't forgotten. But Hurricanes could shoot down bombers just fine, but they were a little out of their league against 109s. That's what you needed Spitfires for. Both the Spit & the 109 could bite you if you asked for a bit more than the machine could give. Neither was quite what you'd call user-friendly, but the spit was probably a trifle better.

[@Kneedragon1962]

***** A simulator can do many things, but it's not the same as reality. Yes, we use them now in training. We did that before we had computers. Look up a Linke Trainer. But they are training tools, no more than that. We train astronauts under water, because that's the best way we can simulate the experience. But you won't hear a pilot say a simulator is the same as a plane, or an astronaut tell you being in the big pool is exactly like doing a spacewalk. A centrifuge can also put you in high G - yes. But is that exactly like doing a hard turn in a jet? Yes and no. In some ways it is.

[@growlanser5600]

***** I do not doubt the realism of IL-2 1946. Real life pilots are involved in the development of that game. In fact, many of the people that play it are real life pilots themselves. And now with virtual reality headsets in the horizon, flying sims can only get more realistic.

[@amerk7777]

***** Flight simulators can help a pilot learn some of the skills needed to fly, but it has to be a real flight simulator which IL2 is not.

[@jabo190d]

Sure can see those automatic leading edge slats pop open at 2.21 with no noticeable adverse effect to roll control.

[@cqbhoun]

I always wonder what it's like to fly something like this for the first time. Obviously each aircraft has it's own quirks, but there's no two seater 109 is there? Must be nerve wracking to just jump in something like this for the first time with zero experience of that aircraft.

[@axel99i]

Ich frage mich grade ob der Ton nachbearbeitet wurde? da sich das ganze für mich irgendwie ungesund anhört bzw. nach " rasenmähermotor " auch irritiert mich das die maschine in der luft / im flug kaum veränderungen im klang hat bei lastwechsel,entweder schlecht plaziertes microfon oder nachbearbeitung

[@user-qt8eu7jp6k]

Am I right in saying that this engine they installed is a SAAB/NOHAB flygmotorfabrik AB 605 engine?

[@TeemarkConvair]

never to be called a pretty, or beautiful design. it is menacing and almost "evil" looking. attribute that solely to the way the DB series engines were cowled. how many people in the world have ME-109 on their license? just amazing the time and $ [DM} that went into it, and the courage to continue to fly it knowing its dangerous characteristics. thank you.

[@uwemobil8847]

Great. I would be very grateful if someone can answer following questions: Were the flight procedures altered regarding inverted flight after that bally landing in Denmark? Are those flight procedures to be followed world wide? Will we never see again an ME-109 doing barrel rolls or any manouever like that?

[@TPath3]

What a rocket ! The ailerons atleast at those modest speeds are very crisp, turns like crazy, wonder what the weight is, theoretically it shouldn't be to far from the original because of weigt distribution (2900 kg ?).

[@janhruska4471]

Awesome video, I love it!!! I saw that most of maneuvers were flown around 300kph (350 in dives). I wonder, what is the directional stability in pitch/yaw/roll (what controll adjustments need to be done) when flying at takeoff speeds, 250kph and 300kph? Is the plane wild thing at these speeds or is it rather stable airplane?

[@armadaghost]

Welcome back the Legend! Is it possible to place a cameraman in a gas balloon at 6 km altitude and show some acrobatics of G4 at that altitude? G4/G2 performs best at that altitude.

[@JIMJAMSC]

I was just reading though some pireps from test pilots who flew the 109 after the war and one of the quotes was something like Never take off from a paved strip, only grass and make sure there is NOTHING any where near you. If the 109 decides to take off in a different direction, thats the heading you take off on.

[@briandgr8st]

How did the Luftwaffe Aces score kills on that thing. Very poor visibility inside that cockpit. Very low seat, all I see is the nose of the plane. How come the Germans made the seat so low and the instrument panels so high. I mean you can barely see anything in front of you looking forward there with Thousands of window panels panes and struts blocking everything

[@BigKWS]

Erich Hartmann used to wait until his front windshield was full before he pulled the trigger. This prevented him from wasting so much ammo and contributed to his high percentage of kills.

[@SchwabenkingOriginal]

Könntet ihr unten nicht wieder die "alte" Rundumleuchte dran machen? Also eine die sich dreht und nicht die die an und aus blinkt das stört ein bisschen das Gesamtbild von diesem grandiosem Flugzeug

[@zeke3486]

Seems the pilot has to work a lot with the rudder stick to compensate for the heavy tork the 109’s where known for and with it’s narrow landing gear quite a challenge for an unexperienced pilot.
