Messerschmitt ME 109 C4K SN 166 | Reg. N90607

From the Connie Edwards collection. This would look great in my garden. I wonder if they would trade a freshly restored SNJ for it?

Your garden? Suuuuurrrrrreee! That'll last. One day you'll be there fondling your petunia's and you'll muse, " I wonder if I can get'er to run?" Next thing ya' know...she runs, you give 'er a little throttle and the tail lifts. :shock: A little more "what ifs" happens and, voila!....You've traded something that could bite you for something that WILL bite you in a completely different way. We'll be waiting Brandon... pop2

I sort of grew up with the HA-1112s in the Chicago area at the Victory Air Museum. Still had the original movie paint. The thing dreams are made of.

I get it. I always wanted a ride in the 2-seater. If I got enough rides there's a probability I would been treated to a Messer groundloop experience. The closest I got was I have the stick grip to C.4K-144.

The oleos look a tad low... just put some nitrogen in there and you're good to go hunting Spitfires!

Speaking of Mr. Brandon!

I wonder if they would trade a freshly restored SNJ for it?


Any recent pics of the said bird?

Cheers.

We must have bumped into each other, A few of my buddy's and me visited there. ( Garbs on this forum) I liked the 1/3rd of the
PBY that you could climb the stairs in. That place was an amusement park for teenage warbird aficionados.

No question about that! I still get to see some of those planes that are either based at Chino or have passed through over the years.

Thanks Michel! Intended to honor the carrier training aircraft flown off the Wolverine and Sable in Lake Michigan.
