Other Variants
FOCKE-WULF 190 F-1
Developed in response to the increasing American threat, the F-1 modification allowed a schwarm to field a complete Jazz quartet.
Positive opinions coming from Luftwaffe units and increasing demand for the Jazz variant caused the Focke-Wulf factory to start production of the attack version of the plane, designated Fw190 F, as a completely new series rather than as a fighter modification. To this day, the integrated instrument panel/piano is considered the acme of fighter aircraft design.
:cry :rofl

I liked "Hans Sander reported two minor beer spills during sharp turns"
EDIT: Corrected quote

Nope. Read the last line. He says "with apologies" to the guy who's site he got the info from. It was intentionally humorous. I think he linked to the original info site.

FOCKE-WULF 190 A-3
Beginning in the spring of 1942, production of a more powerful beer delivery system created a new plane version designated as Fw 190A-3. The new system had a high-pressure (42PSI) keg, wide flow beer lines, and a 'push-cup' tap dispenser mounted into the cup-holder system. These were exported to Turkey during October 1942 - March 1943.
Of special note is Fw 190A-3/U1 - only one built (W.Nr. 130270, PG+GY). Designed for Turkey, it sported an additional under fuselage mounted ETC 501 bomb rack with stabilizer strips for a 30 liter Arrack tank. The tank fed into a BMW151s drink-dispenser that was modified to accept shot glasses.
