Damn! That could have ended badly. Hopefully the damage is minor.

Uh oh that could have been bad. Looks like the pilot was able to get her down alright though.

I have seen that same 109 fly a few times.

It is based and maintained by the Messerschmitt Stiftung at EADS in Manching, near Munich, Germany. I am sure that it is repairable.

That was pretty close. Hopefully not too much damage and good news if she flew with the 262 yesterday.

Yeah I think it will be fine. Kudos to the pilot for recovering it.

Here are some pictures I took of the same Bf 109 and Me 262 flying together last year.

that'll wake you up behind the stick! talk about instant pucker factor. glad he was able to recover. looks like he got hit with a gust of wind at the wrong time.
