Luftwaffe Pilot in his Second Job

[Greybeard]

Haven't seen the video yet..

For those of yu who may not have seen it: under the historical topics section of the blitz is a thread with a link to a couple of neat WW2 related videos.. one is a short video of a still-flying Bf109G.. it's in two segments.. one at a grass field, the other at an airshow (also a grass field).. first video segment is outstanding.. good audio and flight views.. what really caught me was the landing.. as you watch the video, you'll see the 109 on final approach and notice that the aircraft remains nearly nose-on to the camera until touchdown.. now there is no way that the camera is sitting in the middle of the landing zone.. to those in the know, the pilot is fighting a cross-wind as he side-slips into the field.. for those of you really in the know, let me emphasize that he's doing this is a Bf109.. which was notorious for ground looping due to the very narrow landing gear stance.. the video clearly shows that this pilot for sure knows what he's doing with his 109..
