That seems like a reasonably priced way to get something cool written in the cause of death box on your death certificate.

Thanks for the link to another pit...

This was on the Barnstormers site: https://www.boschungglobal.com/Inventory/Warbirds/Messerschmitt/ME-109-G/G-AWHR-(EX-N4109G)

I wonder what "Priced to Sell" means with regards to one of the last flying Messerschmitt ME109's available? I would imagine somewhere in the tens of millions...

Cool thing to find out that I can get my RR Merlin rebuilt just a coupla hundred miles from me by Vintage V12's of Tehachapi, CA. Sounds like a field trip is in order...

Guy on Martha's Vineyard selling a Grob 109 motorglider on Barnstormers, asking $8k OBO, bet he'll take $5k.  It's got a flat four 85hp air cooled engine.  I have a variable pitch prop that fits.  Put the engine and electronics in the yellow one, sell off the motorglider bits and get most of your money back.

I would except for the new wagon in my driveway.

Pretty sure that's actually a Hispano.  Basically a post war Spanish built 109 with, ironically, a Rolls engine.  We have one at the Air Zoo here in Kalamazoo, MI.

We had a full scale fw190 built  at the local airport, nearly killed the owner, I think he sold it. I'll have to check it out.

I love that biplane, wonder how much divorcees costs these days ?

Nope, don't know the guy.  It's on Martha's Vineyard which could be a little more difficult to retrieve than say Boston.

I've seen cars for sale on MVineyard where the owners commute to different countries, no worries.
