Black 3 was not one of the 190's that were recovered from the sea. It crashed in the mountains, but yes, we traded the other 190 wrecks to get this one restored. It has been a process that has taken 30 years and a lot of elbow grease to complete.

Is the name of that museum really the "Luft Farts Museum"?!
Were they able to restore the audor of the 190A3 seat cushion?

Those are from the military aviation museum in Virginia beach. They keep their planes flying. They have too many planes to name there. They have an air show every summer warbirds over the beach. It's worth the drive to check out the museum.

Yea that airshow is a MUST for everyone to go to at least once. Last summer they brought in a 262 for a flyover. THAT was pretty freaking sweet. lol

Yes... They're calling it "Odeur de Nowotny".  ;)

They also misspelled "flugzeugwerke" I think.

Awesome pics.

They own the 262, it is just not kept at MAM's museum due to the grass runway.

Here is my thread of the Fighter Factory/MAM from last year.

The plaque says that the 190 will eventually be restored to flying condition...

Perhaps one day we'll see a more original 190A-8 in the air.

The Dulles museum (about 30-60 minutes from Washington DC) is the Udvar-Hazy Museum -- and it is awesome.

It is one of the world's best airplane museums.  It might be the 2nd best after the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio.

Wish they would move the Hellcat back and down like the way the Corsair and Warhawk are hanging.  That pose doesn't give the best of angles and it is blocked from the other side.

Just some of the highlights there.  If I recall correctly, Bong had flown that 38 (testing) before he died.  Also while I was there, there was a former SR-71 pilot talking about some experiences.  Cant recall his name but Callsign Aspen20, the sled fans know some of his stories.  Really liked the AR with the Ratos.  Behind the Sled (at that time) was the shuttle Enerterprise.  It was used for glide testing.  Since then, it has been replaced with a real shuttle.

Been to the Air and Space on the mall many many times as a young man.  Visiting old friends in Woodbridge Va I had to go see the new museum especially the P-38.

No no it's quite alright. I love seeing and hearing stories of WW2 museums. That P38 and 234 is something else. I've always wanted to see a P38. I'm quite positive the museum here in Virginia Beach will get one at SOME point.
