Butcher Bird, (FW190) engine start and flight.

you gotta admire the men who took these aircraft up everyday, men of every nationality, knowing that their skill and the ability of the aircraft they were flying were the only things that mattered and the things that could see them land safely back at base again. It must have been an incredible, and yes terrifying, thing.Hard to imagine taking off, knowing full well other men of equal talent were going to try and take you out....Hats off to those men.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Forget the 190's performance, there's just something about her lines.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bird. Great to see it still running thanks to a lot of hard work and dedication from top notch people

Btw, I must add this was a great video.
I tend to get all 'amped' up on this stuff...
20 years ago I never thought I would ever see a Fw-190 fly in my lifetime.
God, I love videos like yours turns back the hands of time, I am HUGE on any military history but especially WWII aviation !
Thank YOU !

i dont no but seeing this videos and reading comments frome english and american people how great the fw 190 was. makes me a little bit proud to be a german. noone of my family was in the luftwaffe, but my grandfather was a tank commander on a panther and the my other one was in the leibstandarte adolf hitler

My fathers best friend was pilot on FW190 as and was part of the night fighter squadron JG301 wild boar. He was shot down 5 times even from friendly fire and survived the war. He loved this plane till the end of his days.

Fabulous. I'd be hard pressed to choose between the 190 and the P-51 in head-to-head combat. Never flown in either, but I did have a Mustang pilot tell me how sleek his ride flew. Be a dream to fly both.

Very nice Video about a cool aircraft. Mighty sound of the radial engine. Thumbs up! :)

The Flugwerk Fw190 replica currently owned by Rudy Frasca is the only example fitted with the R-2800.
As of today there is exactly one WWII original Fw190 that is restored and now flying with the BMW 801 motor. This restoration was not a small accomplishment and was very expensive, and it will only fly a few hours each year. A second BMW-powered Fw190 is still in restoration. One or two Dora models are being built for flight, but years away from being complete.

one of the best looking planes in ww2. great design the germans had it together for sure. also
the 109 was was nothing to sneeze at. strange the best looking aircraft are killing machines,

Yes, the forward gun bay houses a variable oil cooler system on the new Fw190 replicas. And the scoop is easy too see. A newer change on a few aircraft is to install oil coolers in the gun bays on the wings, identified by the vents on the gun bay covers. The forward gun bay for this modification houses a larger capacity oil tank. Several oil cooling solutions are being used and/or developed for the replica Fw190s.

I'm still kicking myself I didn't go to that show, I'd love to see an FW-190 flying, It really is a rare privalege to see these old German warbirds flying in the UK.
