Focke-Wulf FW 190 WWII Fighter Startup. BIG Backfire, Yow!
This is an engine startup of Rudy Frasca's new-build Flug Werk-built Focke-Wulf FW 190 at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California. A very impressive replica of the WWII FW-190, this aircraft was built in Germany and was assembled by Matt Nightingale in California with quite a few innovative features (i.e. newly designed oil coolers, for one). There are several other of these aircraft flying today by lucky owners. Quite an impressive aircraft, just beautifully built and it includes a number of original WWII Focke-Wulf components. And it sounds great too! This aircraft is flown quite often and it is currently intended for it to be shown at the Planes of Fame's annual airshow, Oshkosh and the Reno Air Races in 2011. Nice!

Quite an impressive machine and big too! So glad these old birds have been preserved and you've been sticking them on LL cos i love old prop planes.

I'd like to fly something like that someday but I'm only checked out on some small cessnas and pipers. That big fan out front is just there to keep the pilot cool. Pilots really tend to sweat when the big fans quit turning.

These newly-built birds got a recent AD for spar-cap separation in the wing root (read: wings in imminent danger of folding up). Inspections and correction are awaiting factory evaluation...
