I am fully appreciative of the Spanish aircraft and the roles they played in Battle of Britain and Dark Blue World. I would much prefer to see the real though.
I would have to say that the 109-G is my favorite variant of the 109. It is cool, however, the Spanish version resembles a shark in some ways.
As for the Spitfire, nothing sends my heart soaring like that little Merlin powered airplane; truely it is a symbol of freedom, defiance, power and beauty!! Variaty is a good thing, though.
I was aware of the 190s being rebuilt, I doubt they will be flown too often because of their rarety, especially the D-13. I take it that you are aware of the Me-262 project?

Hi megatwingo!
From what I can remember, the 262 ran off the runway and into a rough area to one side of the tarmac - the undercarriage was pushed through the port wing and there was some other damage which took some time to fix. All good now, though, and there are pictures somewhere, too!
In case you didn't already know, the first of the new-build FW190s flew on Thursday! :o)
