The talk of the flyable 'real' 109s & Hispanos has me wondering. Are
there now or were there, 'recently', (30-or so years) not counting Israel's postwar use, any flyable Czech Avia S99s, the 109s with the Junkers Jumo? I've read they were they nastiest of 109 variations. Israel had one aircraft aboard a transport that got siezed in 1948 in Cyprus or Rhodes and wasn't released until about 1950. By then they had given up on the few remaining ones they had. I am not sure if they flew this last one or not. The Czechs started to get Soviet equipment in the late 1940's so I doubt they had any flying for long after that. If one could be had it would make a very cool warbird but it would take an even cooler pilot to fly it. John Dupre'
