Obviously trying to infiltrate spies. Although it’s way too small to be an Me-109.

BTW, that was an emergency landing, not a crash.

A lot of people want a warbird, and military schemes are common among homebuilders. Homebuilders, and owners of [actual warbirds](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/condor-squadron-at-6-brandon-moffit.jpg) sometimes paint them in enemy colours. I understand why people would get upset, but it’s just one of those Walter Mitty things in aviation.

Apart from the paint scheme, that plane looks little like a WW2 warbird.

Can one of our resident aviators identify the actual plane?

Well after taking care of the Devil, I don’t think the Nazis have a chance.

I thought the German campaign to invade the Caucasus didn’t get that far.

ETA: Oh, that Georgia.

This was not just any Nazi, but a delusional one who believes himself to be the ruler of all Nazis - he’s a Faux King Nazi.

[He should have bought one of these instead](https://www.pilotmix.com/images/ac_images/bf109-peak-2.jpg) at least it resembles a very small BF109f

[Here’s a Sonex for sale on eBay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonex-Experimental-Airplane-Very-good-condition-/112499948554?hash=item1a3184fc0a:g:YeoAAOSw8GtZVnNY&vxp=mtr).

Of course, you’ll have to supply your own Luftwaffe paint scheme.
