: : You mean the one that crashed?

First "Crashed" is a pretty strong word for what happened. It was a landing gear problem that was worked out to the best possible conclusion by the PIC. The aircraft was hardly damaged at all and this is on an aircraft that seems to want to damage itself all the time. The aircraft is at Chino and stored.

: Yep..... they modified the cowling to try and make it more
: DB looking ... didn't work in my opinion !

Everyone has one, but looking at the picture from May of 89, she looked really good. Remember this was shortly after G-BOML flew, and there wasn't another 109 anywhere airworthy. At the time the Planes of Fame Museum managed to return a type to the air that was missing in American skies. With volunteer staffing and help and lots of creativity.

As for the "whats gonna be at Legends?" speculating about the Price 109 and the like is fruitless. Its supposed to be a surprise....
