I love how it's sitting in the driveway of his suburban house, wonder what the neighbors thought!

Very nice in my opinion. If you bought it, you'd either have to find/create some landing gear for it, for hang it up. Does the WWII museum in New Orleans have a 109 yet?

New Orleans Museum has a Me-109 hanging from the ceiling.... (If I recall correctly, been a while since I've been there)...

I was in New Orleans in April and didn't see a BF-109 there, but if they have one it may have been taken down to install in the new construction.

Hey guys-

The New Orleans museum got one back in 2007 or 2008, I did a full photo thread on it that's on here somewhere. I distinctly remember the drawer-rollers for the leading edge slats...

They may have moved it around because of the construction (I moved to Little Rock in '08 and haven't been back since) but at one point it was a hanger.


Take care--

-Brandon

Coming out of Canada, I can only assume it was for a museum up there. Any ideas to which?

No kidding. Probably better looking than the '72 Chevy Nova two houses down that hubby has been meaning to restore for 15 years now. :?
All kidding aside, a great conversation piece 8)
