That does not mean that is based here though. How do I find out where it is? I also hear that there is a ME-108 here too on some farmers private strip.

Thats 40 minutes away. They have a great aircraft museum there. Authentic or not, it would still be cool to check out. I'm sure I would've noticed it flying over .
