Bf-109 Landing Accident-Berlin Airshow

[Clive From Canada]

Hi all;

Did anyone catch the video clip of the Bf-109 at the Berlin airshow over the weekend? Landing looked good and suddenly the suddenly starboard undercarriage collapsed resulting in a ground loop. I had read somewhere that the Bf-109 had a weak undercarriage that was prone to collapsing.

The pilot fortunately was not injured and the aircraft didn't seem to have too much damage but I imagine that the aircraft's owner won't be very happy about this!

Cheers,

Hi Clive, I guess we are the only ones up at this time of night.  I shall google the accident to see the details. I think the ME-109 undercarriage was even more critical than the Spitfire.
Cheers,
David
