Why does the the Bucker BU-131 have "Taifun" written on its side?

eBay sellers are far from the brightest bunch when it comes to aircraft ID

Is this not a Nord 1002 Pingouin II? Looking at the nose scoop? Like this one:

Yup, it even says it is on the tail.

It seems to be a french Bf 108 built by the SNCAN and known as the Nord. There is the mass balance at the fin top that may indicate that. IMHO it's the Nord 1000 "Pingouin".

No, obviously bf-109s as proved by this photo. Here in a rare color photograph mounting rockets attacking a hijacked prisoner train!

These in the pic above don't have anything in common with Bf 109. Except ... the German and nazi markings.

Von Ryan's Express - from the markings it was obvious that everyone wanted to be the squadron commander...
