MAM Bf 109 airborne

摘要

Charlie Brown took the Virginia Beach-based Military Aviation Museum (MAM)'s Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 D-FOON aloft at Bremgarten, south-west Germany, on 11 August for its maiden post-restoration flight. The rebuild, carried out by MeierMotors, is based on a Rolls-Royce Merlin- powered Hispano HA-1112 Buchon, Spanish Air Force serial C.4K-64, which has been fitted with a Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. Once test flying at Bremgarten is complete, the fighter - marked up with the code 'Black V - will be crated up for transportation to Virginia Beach.
