Is that an original or a kit?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

"A single engine plane" is like calling Peyton Manning, some lanky southerner, or Patton some guy in uniform.

The Fw-190 is the ubber bird of love and respect. That reporter needs to be forced to do a story on WW2 birds so they stop offending our senses.

boo

PS I'm glad the pilot is Okay, though clearly he is *FIRED*!!

Appears to be one of the new-built Flug-Werke examples.

I have to agree, a little while ago a UK chat show host Jeremy Vine, who is about as much use as a motorcycle borne ashtray, was given the honour of interviewing a WW2 BoB Spit driver. This fool of a presenter dribbled on for 20 mins about how dangerous WW2 ejection seats were after the vet had described a bail out, and then Vine said that Dougla Bader had lost his legs through ejection injuries  :bhead :bhead

Don't these numpties do any research before interviewing people? Honestly, you could hear the vet pilots eyes rolling in his skull :old:

It is a bit original and a bit Flug-Werke.

The original aircraft – Fw 190A-8 Werknummer 173056 - was produced in 1944 at the Focke-Wulf  Flugzeugbau AG in Marienberg, Germany. It was later discovered buried in Rheims, France, after being stripped of many parts by the German military.

I suspect that there's a bit of original and bit more than a bit Flug-Werke. Commented based on the Ash-82 intake seen on the pics as it is standing on its nose. Personally I don't call Buchons original Bf109Gs either...

Paul Allen's A-5 is the only BMW powered 190 still flying.

It has a unique sound to it, unlike any other radial engine I've heard.
