From Racing To Combat Service

The Bf-108 Taifun was first introduced into service in 1935. Surprisingly, this four-seater aircraft is still airworthy to this day.

Designed to be a sport and touring aircraft at first, the Taifun was soon adopted into the Luftwaffe during WWII. While in service, the Bf-108 was deployed as a personnel transport and liaison aircraft – among other things.

Its most famous mission came on January 10, 1940, during the first stages of the war. You can read more about the โ€œMechelen Incidentโ€ by clicking this link.

Nowadays, this Taifun is enjoying its retirement under the care of the Quax Flying Club at Flugplatz Bienenfarm.

The four-seater still has its Argus As-10 260 HP V-8 engine capable of propelling the aircraft to 190 mph. Check out how cool the Argus As-10 sounds in the video below!
