It is a rebuild of a wartime crash and has an authentic German engine. It is not an HA-1112.Bill Greenwood wrote:Can anyone tell me the background on that Me 109.Is it the one Harold Kinsvater rebuilt in California? Does it or has it flown?

One of my flickr contacts took this when it came in to Paine Field. Not sure if it's flown since though.
