Spending the morning with those girls would take the sting out of that 4:30 alarm call.

The 109 in the morning glow........WOW. Excellent photograph, just beautiful!

Thanks Ed. What have you heard about the 109 flying at the Warbirds over the Beach Show this May 21-22, 2016?

I'm local and will likely attend, but will move that to firm definite if the 109 plans to fly...

Pre-dawn at an airshow airfield is something truly magic. Thanks for sharing the photos! The Buchon/109 looks fantastic!!

That can't be MAM, it's not peeing down rain.

Thanks for posting those lovely shots.

Has the Spitfire returned home yet?

Andy

SD89--haven't heard anything about the 109 flying one way or another at the WOB show, but would be extremely surprised if she doesn't fly.

DH--the Spit returned safe and sound last Saturday, new prop and all.

Glad everybody liked the pics!

Glad to hear Ed.

I always appreciate your updates!

Yagens 109 and mossie are scheduled to be at Reading, Penn. MAAM WW2 weekend, first weekend in June. Just a couple weeks after Warbirds over the beach at Virginia Beach so it'll most likely fly at Virginia Beach. Already got my tickets and hotel for Virginia Beach. Watching the Fighter Factory webcams , they are servicing all the aircraft and are very busy.

Whoo Hoo! Awesome to hear! I'll be at Reading and will enjoy that demo for sure! Last 109 I saw fly, was the Russell Group's Me-109E.

Now if only Yagen didn't sell his accurate looking FW-190 to Erickson. Those two aircraft would have looked amazing in the air together!

The thought of those two flying together gave me chills! What an amazing display that would be!
