The Military Aviation Museum's Bf-109 prepping for the 2016 Warbirds Over the Beach Airshow. This is actually a Spanish Hispano HA1112 Buchon restored with a Daimler-Benz DB 605 to an approximation of the Bf-109G-4. This was her first day of flying in the US. They didn't do a real fly-by, unfortunately. 3/27/3021 adding info for clarity: the Buchons were built in Spain in 1954 with surplus Rolls Royce Merlin engines. The plane had an intake under the propeller and the engine was upright, so the exhaust pipes sat higher in the nose. The nose of this aircraft was reconstructed for the DB 605 engine and to appear as a Bf-109. The engine for this conversion was from a Bf-110 that was interned by the Swiss after an emergency landing in Dubendorf, Switzerland in 1944. The Military Aviation Museum is in Virginia Beach, Virginia
