Nicely done rear cockpit. Much more in keeping with the original design than certain Spitfires with a bubble hump behind.

[@rolfschulz1631]

just watching this magnificent aircraft gives me goosebumps, great job guys!!!

[@alyciamarrison2916]

Fantastic video with on board cameras is really intersting to se both instruments the view from behind the pilot & the on wing view too makes this fascinating! Thanks so much for adding this!

[@BetterAircraftFabric]

immer wieder schön, eine 109 wieder fliegen zu sehen

[@69jmcc]

Nice too see her with the DB605 rather than the merlin

[@NachtJaeger110]

Could you show us a video from the start, looking down on the pedals? I'm interested in how much the pilot really needs to correct with the rudder. thank you!

[@MrLunchHour2]

How do I sign up to take a flight in the back lol

[@Promethesis]

It would seem this one is set up for a co-pilot. I'd ride in it for sure!

[@Laodell]

Thank you for posting this without music. Though noticed the pilot is not a fan of coordinated turns if the rear turn coordinator is telling the truth. :)

[@ag2938]

Wunderbares Flugzeug, nur schade das es nicht die Galant Haube als Kabinendach trägt.

[@marcoh.3467]

[@favideos6747]

Thank you very much fot this fantastic video ! Question, why do you fly with flaps full in normal flight? Is it because the flight is so short, or another reason? Regards, Frans

[@rc-fannl7364]

Nice video. Would be even better if not "improved" by KZbin's "anti shake fix" processing, that it often applies to "fix" a shaky video. Massive side effect of this processing is that sometimes parts of the plane look like made of rubber, bending and twisting due to the processing trying to make things "smooth" and as result the overal motion looks unnatural at times. Most videos look better when the "fix video" checkbox is left unchecked.

[@squeeth2895]

Any chance of filming it (rather than using a digital) so the propeller stops running backwards?

[@Yeetilini]

Oooh, a Spanish 109. Very nice.

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Not seen this one before.

[@kirkyandka7712]

Lovely plane and video, at start up there was no-one on the wing cranking the inertia starter. Is it a 605 or has it been modified?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+KirkyandKa Sunways The original inertia starter can also be spun up with electrical power from a start cart or a battery.

[@Fabio-eb5gg]

Fantastic !!!!

[@rogerhoward6128]

Excellent video. 👍👍😉

[@guppiapfeljustleopardthing8756]

I belive there are only 3 beautiful fighter aircraft. The Spitfire, the Fokker DR tryplane and the ME109 (preferably in the late F or early G models)

[@NiklasAdv]

i wonder what it costs to backseat fly with this amazing Bf109

Hello Martin, the DB engine is care at Stuttgart ? 🤔

Any DCS 109 pilots taking notes ?

yeah DCS sucks everytime i saw real 109´s !

[@andrewward9601]

What happened to this plane? I know its been restored but where is it now, I've never seen it flying. Its great to see a 109 restoration with a DB605 in it....

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Andrew Ward Still with Hangar 10, but it is for sale on aircraft broker pages. Hangar 10 now has three, all painted in the same colors. Two of them are for sale that I know of.

[@andrewward9601]

Sweet, so can I visit Hangar 10 to see it? I guess they are wanting many millions for this, it being a two seater I assume it's the only one with a DB605 in it...

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+It's the only two-seat G-12 flying, and there is an original two-seat Buchon that just started flying. There are now around nine or ten DB-powered Bf-109s in the air. I thought Hangar 10 was going to offer flights in the G-12 but that may have changed after a recent accident with a death in the UK. Carrying PAX in a vintage warbird is getting expensive for insurance.

[@andrewward9601]

@@FiveCentsPlease yes I understand insurance is very expensive for vintage aircraft now, I live in the UK and I have see the result of accidents, more people get hurt in cars, including vintage cars but that doesn't get the adverse press as vintage aircraft :(

[@FiveCentsPlease]

@@andrewward9601 The two-seat G-12 has been sold to a new (unnamed) owner, but it will remain in Germany.

[@deltapapa3418]

schöne Flugzeug ... Glückwünsche

[@4heso]

Ist das bei Meiers in Bremgarten??

[@allinmyhead]

I am pretty sure that this one has a quick exchange facility i.e. Merlin to DB. Almost certain.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Pater McGarry Photography Yes it does. Very clever of the owners to have a Buchon QEC package made for it to save wear on the DB engine. There is a new Me-109G restoration that used a clever Allison installation and I could see the Allison being used for another QEC package if owners want to go easy on the rare DB engines.

[@SCYTHE2525]

Even War Thunder doesn't have this thing yet it has the 'Z' model that is two BF's linked together. Interesting. Longer fuselage much like the Dora Focke-Wulfe. Wonder why they went with a two seater?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+SCYTHE2535 Because no two-seater survives today. The wartime two-seat G-12 was modification and not a true production aircraft. This plane was originally a Buchon, so it was built into a G-12. The advantages today will be to help with pilot transition and training on the type (just like during the war when pilot attrition was an issue) and to sell flights to the public if that is desired and legal. One clever thing that the owners did with this G-12 was to also build the Merlin engine package as original on the Buchon, so they can fly it or ferry it with a Merlin engine to save wear on that rare DB engine.

[@TheSkipjack95]

Welche Luftschraube und Ata Einstellungen benutzen sie ?

[@ibensubber3826]

Eine Zweisitzer habe ich noch nie gesehen. Gab es die im Original auch?

[@knightflightvideo]

Ja! Seit 1944 wurden einige einsitzige G-Varianten der Me 109 zu doppelsitzigen Trainingsmaschinen mit vollständigem Doppelsteuer in einem zweiten Cockpit, umgebaut. Diese Variante wurde als Bf 109 G-12 bekannt.

[@thegreatbig7776]

if someone remember the music of another version which disappeared from KZbin please send me the name of this

What kind of canopy is that in the rear? Not Erla.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+tisoy909 The G-12 was a two-seat conversion from WW2. It was not a production model but converted from existing aircraft. The canopy is correct for the G-12. top.scalemodels.ru/images/2012/02/1328966142_3.jpg

Welche Route sind sie geflogen?

[@Alienasa1]

Cool... so.. when can we take rides in the back? :D Sign me up.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

It will remain in Germany with Hangar 10, who do offer flight experiences in several aircraft. You will have to contact them to see if they will include the G-12 for the public or only for prospective pilot training.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

And apparently the Air Fighter Academy (Hangar 10) who own this new restoration have offered it for sale.

[@tasospatriwtis396]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SWASTIKA????.....

[@6killer426]

Tasos Patriwtis Swastika isn’t Kosher, it gives jews vaginal drips.

[@orangekiwi526]

I think the plane is based in germany so they're not allowed a swastika 😥

Here we have people complaining about the swastika. Meanwhile I personally found it was a really neat and clever censorship :P Nonetheless, a beautiful plane

[@RobertMayfair]

What is the tallest a person can be to fit in the cockpit?

[@riazhassan6570]

I read somewhere that short pilots were encouraged to opt for some fighter aircraft. The 109’s cockpit, especially, was cramped and uncomfortable for average-to-tall men

[@38dragoon38]

What's with the politically correct swastika on the tail fin?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

Not allowed on flying aircraft registered in Germany. (And other European countries.)

[@thehobgoblin9790]

Cant even get models with swastika decal.

[@kotzting]

Goes back to 1945.

[@thehobgoblin9790]

kotzting Not an accurate representation without one IMHO.

[@kotzting]

Roger that.

[@Clete88]

Why the full flaps? Flaps up next time and show us what this bird can do. Or is this plane so expensive that they are afraid to put it through its paces?

[@redglyph]

Standard landing pattern for this beast, with flaps. You will notice he doesn't have them during the cruise part. Those are not really as easy to land as Skylanes ;-)

[@Clete88]

You're right.....I went back and re-watched it......I've heard tales of pilots remarking on the narrow landing gear of the 109 making for tricky landings.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

This is the first or second test flight after the plane was rebuilt. They are checking for issues on the first flights.

[@redglyph]

And good thing they're up at 2:34 since the airspeed is about 300 km/h, and vNE is 250 with flaps extended on the Bf109.

[@Clete88]

Don't get me started on this sim again! I played that game for years.....I guess I better go dig out my rudder pedals and stick..... Thanks for the update...I tried the game a few months ago and the graphics were the same as 10 years ago....

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

Is this a training aircraft?

[@TheSkipjack95]

So I've heard. Meant to familiarise 109 display pilots with the handling qualities of the type

[@FiveCentsPlease]

Yes. The G-12 was a two-seater trainer conversion from existing aircraft. Only about 100 were made, although it was originally planned to make about 500. This is not an original trainer, but a rebuild and the owner decided to build a two-seater.

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

[@alfredenisz4775]

I always check to see if the engines are Rolls Royce.

[@4lifeifly]

Alfred Enisz this airplane was restored in the U.S. by my grandfather and had a Merlin in it due to no DBs being available in the states.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

It was originally a Spanish Buchon and flew for a while. The last rebuild project converted it to a Bf-109 standard and also add the G-12 conversion. Vintage V12s in California is a leading builder for the DB engines now and built the engine for this one and others. There are very few people in the world with the expertise to work on the big V12s.

[@user-mr4cv2ce5i]

Is it a replica?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+H oureat The airframe was a Spanish-built Buchon but the owner had it built into a G-12.

[@FilipusWisnumurti]

[@Abbeville_Kid]

The G-12 was a trainer.
