Neat video of the worlds only flying FW-190D-9. Some neat shots with a P51D and P-47 as well as others.

Paul Allen's 190 is an A-model, not a D-9. The A has the BMW radial engine and the D-9 was an inverted Junkers Jumo V-12 engine and was used, in part, to defend Me-262s as they came in to land, since the 262s were low and slow and very vulnerable to pursuing Allied fighters.

I've watched the Allen 190 fly a couple times and it sounds great. Similar to an F4U Corsair as it idles on the ramp and then its own distinct BMW radial sound as it flies overhead. I took my son for a ride on the CAF B-29 &quot;FIFI&quot; last summer and when we climbed out after shutdown Paul Allen's Fw-190 flew overhead. (Flight was at Everett where Allen's museum is located.) As it roared overhead I said, &quot;Wrong theater of operations pal!&quot; (B-29 was Pacific and 190 was European theater.)

Duh! I of all people should know that as my brother rewired the complete airplane! He also wired Doug Champlin's FW-190 D-13.

Is there really something such as having too much fun?!? Can you imagine the bad guys on the ground and the fear they had when one of these war machines let loose with six .50s while strafing? Excellent video. Years ago I heard Jack Roush talking about his Mustang and during the entire interview I don't think the smile left his face. TAZ
