Messerschmitt bf 109 G 'Rote Sieben'/'Red Seven' crash at airshow.
The airplane crashed at an airshow in Denmark (Sunday August 18.).
Seems the plane did some aerobatics and then developed engine trouble.
The pilot bellylanded the plane in a field and walked away from the crash.
Video of the plane in the field:

Any landing you walk away from.........(you know the rest).
Hopefully not too badly damaged!....
Always a problem when you're using an engine that hasn't had spares support for 70 odd years...
Looks like they went home for their dinner.......

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.

Hopefully it will be rebuilt.
Does anyone know how man7 109s are still flying. It can't be more than 3 or 4.

Didn't this Gustav belly land before in 2005?
A lucky or unlucky aircraft? not sure!
shadows of the past, down in a cornfield.
Read this in FlyPast mag today , thankfully no one hurt!
In the same magazine there is an Bf 109E (only one of two flying) for sale for only $4.9 million!
Tempted ?
