Plane with WWII Nazi look, including swastika, lands on Atlanta road



A small airplane landed on Ga. 316 in Gwinnett County on Monday afternoon, police said.

The plane is registered to a Buford man, FAA records show. It appears to be designed to look like a Messerschmitt BF 109, a plane used by Nazi Germany in World War II. The design includes a swastika on the plane’s tail.





The aircraft landed safely just before 1 p.m. and there were no injuries reported, according to Gwinnett County police. The plane landed on the highway near Harbins Road, the same intersection where an accident involving a milk truck spill snarled traffic earlier this month.

Fred Meyer, who was piloting the plane, was the only person on board. He does not own the aircraft but built the engine and helps take care of the maintenance, he told Channel 2 Action News.

“The engine just quit, it just died,” Meyer told Channel 2. “You just sort of fall back on your training at that point in time. You dont think of the circumstances, you just think of your training.”

The landing took place about three miles east of the Gwinnett County Airport at 12:45 p.m. After the landing near Dacula, the plane was pulled into the median.

The plane was described by a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman as a “Sonex experimental, amateur-built aircraft.” Sonex is a company that sells kits that allow people to build their own airplanes.

Meyer told Channel 2 the Nazi design was “just for fun.”

“A lot of people like to paint these planes up like old war birds,” Meyer said.

BTW: THIS is what a BF 109 actually looks like.

Amazing Replica of a BF 109G..... Hard to tell them apart....

I'm sure some libtard will use the swastika to connect it to a Trump secret air force!

The article mentions several times that there is a swastika on the tail, like they caught him at something.

Plane version of the Fiero/Ferrari.

Or, The Flintstones being the cartoon version of The Honeymooners.

The swastika is an ancient symbol. When Hitler was a boy, the school he attended had a swastika above the iron gate he passed through. It caught his eye and he adopted it for his fascist regime.

ME109??? Nope.

BF109? Really? REALLY?

On take off, he didn't hit 88 mph.

And most people forget that. I've heard college kids at the campus where I work say that ancient Indian culture was racist because they used the symbol for centuries. I have no faith in or high hopes for the millennial generation

I think he'll be even more thorough now. Don't the military mechanics go up in the aircraft they work on?

Some do, most don't. Flying Crew Chiefs are an example of those that do. James should have more info on those that do.
