There are several 190 restorations in the works.


Here is one it's a FW 190d-13.

Yup.. just doesn't look like a photo to me



Why would anyone ever bother to paint a picture of REPLICA planes flying in formation???   That would make no sense whatsoever.

It is a photo that I just happened to find on the Internet on a photo website.

It is too bad that the planes are not the real thing.   I thought that they both looked rather odd.

I would rather fly the Spitfire which is stalking these two, you can't see it because it's just out of frame. :cool:

Actually they're both chasing a run 'n' gun Mustang from 2K back. In about five minutes he'll be over his ack and they'll get proxied.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

If I were in a 234, I'd fly under and pop up infront of your stalking business and pop you and save my fellow countrymen. :P

That aircraft was purchased by another entity and is not undergoing a restoration to fly.

I don't either.  Almost all warbirds flying today would be considered fakes if people really knew the limited amount of original material used to rebuild them.  It is the nature of the beast. 

Use a word like replica to describe a new build.  It is more descriptive and is less abrasive.  Fake implies that people are trying to "pull one over" on the public.  That is not the case.
