Messerschmitt Bf 109 Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is one of the most iconic fighters in history — the mass-produced Luftwaffe mainstay of WWII. Genuine airworthy originals are exceptionally rare and extraordinarily valuable; most flying Bf 109s are high-quality modern reproductions (sometimes with later engines, e.g. the Spanish-built Buchón). Either way it is a top-tier warbird demanding specialist support and warbird-class pilot qualifications.
