Country:  | Local ME-109?
Clovis, Ca N109W, Messerschmitt ME 109 C4K
I just found out that there is a ME-109 registered in my city. That does not mean that is based here though.
How do I find out where it is?
I also hear that there is a ME-108 here too on some farmers private strip.

Country:  | Well first of all it is not a Bf 109. That is a HA-1112 Buchon.
It is a Spanish built version of a Bf 109G powerd by a Merlin engine.

Country: | I noticed it had a Merlin. I's still like to see it though.
It says year built was 2000.
Is that a rebuild?

Country: | Looks like it may be based at Castle AFB, but I can't be sure.

Country: | The four bladed prop gives it away. Makes it look odd, too.

Thats 40 minutes away. They have a great aircraft museum there.
Authentic or not, it would still be cool to check out. I'm sure I would've noticed it flying over

. | It was probably restored - I looked it up on the FAA registry - it's airworthiness certificate was issued in 2000.

maybe the owner ran out of money and it's sitting in a barn somewhere next to the ME-108 that's supposed to be in the area too.
