The rare Messerschmitt Bf 109 (Red 7) seen on the ground and in the air on saturday the 17th of August at Roskilde Airshow 2013 in Denmark.
In the show the next day it did make an emergency landing in a cornfield near the airport. Luckily with no harm to the skilled pilot Klaus Plasa, and only minor damage to the plane.
The reason was that this Bf 109 is not intended to do negative G flight, for example, level flight upside down which the airplane did immediately before the engine stopped. In the plane's Flight Manual, there was no restrictions about that, and therefore the pilot could not know about that limitation. Restriction markings regarding negative G fligh is now put into the Flight Manual.
