that bird is looking truely awesome :jump: Speaking of German IFR Nav equipment, I found the IFR Nav equipment in the FW-190 late series quite easy to use and very intuitive. Definately easier to use than the early western nav equipment :)

I agree with the above !

I prefer vintage aircrafts in their original liveries, although I must admit that those modern skirts make this plane into a very civilianized and up to date one... :salute:

All of the paint schemes are historical or historically restored as flying today so apart from operator's logos and the odd nav antenna they do look just like they looked some 75 years ago. Just shows how far ahead the design was back then. :)
 
Mathias, in all your information gathering on the aircraft how many are still air worthy and flying today? Also can you point to a good read/book on the aircraft...

Thank you, she looks wonderful :applause::applause::applause:
 
dc, there still exist about 11 Bf108 and 40 or so Nord1002 (french post war bf108 production with Renault engine), not all of them airworthy though.
Here in Germany we have three airworthy Bf108, all depicted on the previous pages in this thread, D-EBFW, D-EBEI and D-ESBH.
D-EBFW is the one we have full access to and is paragon for our depiction.
It carries - with special permission of our aviation buro- the traditional code D-IBFW in large letters on the fuselage and the official registration in small letters on the tail.
There's not a lot readily consumable literature on the Bf108 available.
you can get the period manuals, and there's the odd article here and there in varous aviation magazines and some modeller brochures that deal with the aircraft.
The most comprehensive info in one piece is probably found in MONOGRAM Close-Up #5 from 1979. Having said that, most info we have gathered from the period manuals, from the owners of D-EBFW and from a formar Legion Condor pilot who flew Bf108, Bf109 and He111 during the war and unfortunately passed away just a few weeks ago.
 
Hello Mathias,

Thank you for this video. It give us an idea of what we wiull see on our FsX. So I can dream a little bit tonight about the Taifun.

Have a good day

Benoit
