This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Wonderful update Matthias, thank you! I've been wondering what the plan was for this airframe. It seemed to be the most active of the Flug Werk machines for some time.

What needs doing to an airframe that has been for a salt water swim?
How deep do you need to go to ensure future corrosion is avoided.
This 190 has waited a while for restoration and some of the planes affected by cyclones in the south of USA even longer, it is great to see it proceeding.

Well, its a lot of detail work. The fuselage/wing and all the parts were washed several times. Then all parts, will say the paint was washed away with corrosives. And I mean "all" the parts. The fuselage and wings were uncovered, again washed and refined. Of course, new sheeting was required. Hard way to go, but she will be fantsatic at the end

The "Lucky Lady VII" is undergoing some maintenance - I love that P-51. Fine restored, a lot of history .... yes she´s for sale but I hope she will stay here in South Germany



Here the fighter on the MeierMotors sales site

Wow!
Awesome update Matthias. Thank you so much for sharing the work of these artisans.
Has Gerry Yagens 109 flown in the U.S. yet? That was another real beauty from MeierMotors.

Those are all very nice. Any chance you guys could bring a BF-110 back to airworthy status?

Is this the Sea Fury that was owned by Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas or perhaps another one?

Mostly, although parts of another one were used in the repair.

Yes, Lynn, it is VX302. Ex-Conch Fury (ex RAN 103, Cottonmouth) race 103, damaged in emergency landing in 2009 due to engine problems. Former owner was Stuart Aviation Inc., Wilmington, Delaware. MeierMotors/MaxAlpha Aviation bought the wreck of Conch Fury in 2011. Fuselage was restored by Sanders Aviation (only fuselage was used from this a/c, wings are off a different one). BTW ex- German towtug, D-CACE, flown out of Lübeck (mainly) over the Baltic Sea towing airsock as aerial target for 20 mm and 35 mm cannons.
