EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hispano HA.1112-M1L Buchon N109J, with the serial number msn 186, at the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) - Arizona Wing located at Mesa's Falcon Field in Arizona. Around the turn of the millennium, this historic aircraft underwent a significant transformation, as it was converted to run on DB605 power and meticulously painted to resemble a Bf 109G. The Hispano HA.1112-M1L Buchon, also known as the "Buchon," is a Spanish-built fighter trainer aircraft that first took to the skies in the late 1930s. Its distinctive design and impressive performance made it a popular choice among pilots during the Spanish Civil War and World War II. This particular Buchon, N109J, is a testament to the passion and dedication of aviation enthusiasts and preservationists. The Commemorative Air Force, a non-profit organization, is committed to honoring the men and women who have served in America's military aviation history. By restoring and flying historic aircraft like the Buchon, the CAF aims to educate the public about the history and importance of military aviation. The Buchon's conversion to DB605 power and its new Bf 109G livery make it a striking sight among the modern aircraft at Falcon Field. The roar of its engine and the sound of its propellers transport visitors back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the courage and skill of the pilots who flew these aircraft in battle. This photograph captures a moment in time, a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the commitment of organizations like the Commemorative Air Force to preserving it for future generations.
