Any new Luftwaffe Flyers besides the 190/109's

[Cherrybomber13]

Are there any serious projects to get a Ju-88, HE-111 (or CASA 2.111) or a JU-86 / Stuka back in the air in the foreseeable future?

[RMAllnutt]

Well... there are the Me-262 and Fw-189 that Paul Allen has. He has a CASA 2.111 project as well, but I don't think anything serious has happened with its restoration yet.

I believe there is a Ju-87 Stuka under rebuild to fly, but it looks like a pipe dream project to me. Several Ju-88's are under rebuild, but I think all are to static condition. There is only one complete Ju-86 in the world, and that's in a Swedish museum, so I doubt you'll see that rebuilt to fly. There are of course several Fw-44 biplane trainers flying, and I imagine some that are being rebuilt to fly as we speak. One cool project being built for the air is the reconstruction of an interwar Heinkel He-51 biplane fighter. Mostly it will be replica, but it does have an original engine, and will be a beauty when it's done.

Cheers,
Richard

A friend of a friend of mine has an Arado Ar 68 project. As you can imagine, he is looking for parts.

And where has that been hiding? Ex-Spanish?

Has he contacted the Sola Musuem who are nearing completion of their example?

Any BF-110 Projects? 6200 Built 3 know to exist...

ME 410? They built close to 1200 of them...

Turkish FW-190's? Did they all end up in the dump? or Scrapped?

1. I would say four. Two in National Museums. Two projects not currently being worked on

2. Two survivors known-both in National Musuems.

3. Scrapped AFAIK.

Dave,
Nice story about Col San Martin and 609!
Are the 110's potential flyers?

[DaveM2]

Thanks

Unless you had the financial backing of some one like Paul Allen, I would say No.

You sure Sola has an Ar 68? Their site lists an Ar 66, very different from a 68.

Ooops - my bad. Just to make it up, I will contact my German buddies to see if they have anything.

I would love to see a Stuka fly, I imagine a single-engine type would be easier(?) to restore/reproduce than a twin. I remember reading Flying Heritage Collection has one, and Jerry Yagen said he'd like one but didn't think it would have the same appeal as a Mosquito.

Thank you! Any leads appreciated. I have not seen the project, will post photos/details if I can get them.

It's still sad how the CAF's HE-111 crashed. I loved seeing that thing fly, a lot of early teenage memories.

Likewise. A very sad loss indeed. Got to see her once.
