Kurt tank said something along the lines of 'if the bf109 is a race horse then the fw190 is a war horse '.

I hope they are extra careful with it in the air. I waited over sixty years to see an original BMW-powered 190 run and fly and it is a beautiful restoration if ever I have seen one. A huge Well Done to all who made this back-from-oblivion restoration possible. I long believed I would never see anything like this in my life. So glad I was wrong.
Curt Tank’s engineering , being his first complete design attempt ( jump & kick me if that’s incorrect) is really impressive. The design is utilitarian, but weirdly futuristic at the same time. One of my favorites!!
Have you ever heard a Grumman F7F? The two supercharged P & W R2800's on that bad boy make it one of the all time most impressive sounding birds of prey. (Wish I could hear a Dornier Do 335 Arrow!)
I agree. It's so unique. I liken the sound of the BMW 605 to that of a Harley-Davidson or a dragster. That radical popping sound. Then you have the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Griffon engines which were buttery smooth and whiny like a crotch rocket or a Ferrari. It's impossible for me to pick which sounds better.
@Nate Dogg Gaming In fact the BMW801 was a copy of the Gnome et Rhône M14 turbocharged installed on the prototype of the Bloch MB157. Germans were so impressed by the MB157 that they simply unmounted the engine and sent it to the BMW factory, because BMW struggled to make proper engines for early versions of the 190s (prototypes)
I also own an original BMW 801 . I purchased it brand new. It does fly very well as long as you keep it on the road because it doesn’t have wings. It is a motorcycle.
Being a german in my mid-twentys makes me think about how the generation of my grandparents must have been terrified everytime they heard the sound of any kind of plane in the sky during wartime. I know of people who couldn't stand being at the airport and listening to the sound of the engines because it awoke so many fearful memories in them. To me the sounds not only of this specific aircraft of that era are a pleasure to listen to and I'm so thankful that I don't attribute any kind of bad emotion with it. Watching and listening to this video proves to me once again the absolute necessity of international friendship and diplomacy. It's just one planet we live in, so let's be respectful to one another.
I live on Whidbey island which is right next to where Paul Allen has his beautiful collection of flying heritage. Everytime one of his beauties flies over I get goosebumps! Have seen this plane many times in person and is amazing. The other day I hear the unmistakable sound of radials and bolt outside to see a Zero, Mustang, p-47 and the FW190 all in formation. Blessed to be able to see such sights. Also seeing his Mig-29 flying over that Paul owns is quite the sight too!
But now held hostage by his sister and the overlords at Vulcan, Inc. that own it all now. Closed over a year and not even a hint that the museum exists, much less plans on reopening.
@@fight2flyphoto A few of the unfinished aircraft have just been listed for sale through a broker. The beautiful B-17E that's about 50% complete,, an unrestored A6M wreck and some jets.

It was restored, not preserved. This was found in Russian in 1989 by hunters and took 20 years to completely restore. The engine is original and was actually sabotaged by forced labor workers that built it. The ww2 pilots of this bird were forced to do a wheels up belly landing due to the sabotage
Truly one of the great planes in aviation history. Many of the design details of the Fw 190A were pure genius: a very impressively compact plane considering the size of the BMW 801 engine and designed for ease of production, too.

@@stevfell Love the Ta 152's long nose; such a beautiful beast of a plane! My all-time favorite plane is the Corsair, and although much larger, it has a similar long-nosed balance to it.
If I'm not mistaken this is the 190 that was found almost intact in 1989 in the forest near Leningrad - Mark Felton has a video about it. Amazing restoration.

Der BMW 801 war einer der ersten Flugmotoren mit Einhebelbedienung: Ein von Heinrich Leibach konstruiertes Kommandogerät stellte automatisch als mechanischer Analogrechner alle Parameter (wie z. B. Zündzeitpunkt, Drosselklappenöffnung, Ladergang, Einspritzmenge, Luftschraubenverstellung). Und der BMW 801 war ein Benzindirekteinspritzer. Alles in allem eine geniale deutsche Konstruktion!

Thanks for posting this film! What an aircraft! On 22 August 1943 one of these shot my dad out of the sky in his B-26 Marauder....but that FW-190 never flew again, nor the pilot, thanks to a wingman's waist gunner! Thank you Billie Boyd!
I used to live right near Paine Field and let me tell you, I could sit in my yard and watch the flying heritage planes circle around as they were preparing to make another pass over the airport for the air show. It's quite amazing, and I'll tell you just the noise from one of those things is pretty loud. Can you imagine seeing a dozen or more overhead? I always wanted to thank Paul Allen for his contribution to history and tell him how much I admired his collection.
What a wonderful and exceptionally rare occurrence to see a FW-190 and IL-2M flying together in the same shot (and not trying desperately to kill each other, lol). Great shot of the FW tailing the maneuvering IL-2 earlier. This is really great stuff! I must make the trip to Everett soon. :)
It figures Steve Hinton is at the controls. Best and most experienced war bird pilot there is today. If you have a rare war bird in need of a maiden flight, post restoration, he is the man. I am lucky to live close to his home base at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino CA. He is the best.
Sanel Šabanovič that’s silly. There are many German WW2 aircraft that outperformed allied aircraft throughout the war. Some of the top aces ever recorded flew planes like the 109, 190, 262
When I was in the 6th grade I watched a black and white closed loop cassette which was a copy of a Luftwaffe airfield occupied by a FW-190 Squadron. It showed a ground crew dismount the BMW-801, which was installed using quick disconnect fittings; fuel lines, electrical, throttle, etc.. Using an “A” frame hoist, the crew removed the engine, set it aside, opened what looked like a giant hat box on the ground, took out a fresh “Power Egg” and Mounted onto the airframe. Including hooking the fittings: 22min. In 1984, I was stationed aboard MCAS Yuma. It was at night and though I rarely was on the flight line I had to be there to do a minor repair on a piece of equipment from my shop. I took a late lunch break. In the time that it took get my “gag bag” eat it, I watched a maintenance crew swap out a GE-404 engine on a F/A-18A Hornet, NAVY Squadron VFA-127(?). It took them about 22 min. The Hornet was a HUGE change in not only capability in the Air, maintenance wise it has a 98% up rate. Vastly superior to the F-4 Phantom II it replaced.
Just from a modeler's point of view; To spend all that money to restore an aircraft like this, and put a paint job on it that looks like some of it might have been done in the field, really takes balls. I love it!
@@marioneto2662 radials sound rough compared to a V12 but that is comparing apples to oranges... and maybe the distinctive exhaust note had a psychological effect on the allies too. i personaly like the sound especialy because it sounds mighty and deep. V12´s sound soft and muted.
Fw-190 was an outstanding general purpose fighter. If you look at the statistics, it performed well, particularly in the low and medium altitudes where most combat actually occured. One of my favorites! Just listen to the power in that engine!
Little, but look at how big it is compared to the 109E! The 109 was a big roaring engine with a pilot and airframe and weapons attached as an afterthought.
I retired from Boeing. I have seen this flying several times and it is beautiful. (the Boeing EMC hanger is across the street behind the FHC) They have a bunch of flying WWII aircraft there, worth the visit! I used to visit at lunch time.
Pretty cool to see an original FW190 flying again. Makes one wonder how many of these warbirds are tucked away in all corners of the world. Is that the original engine too?
They all sound great - radials or inlines. It's like the ongoing debate about Strats, Les Pauls and Teles. If you want a really potent sound, try the Napier Sabre. Keep the fire extinguisher handy when starting the 801!
Great experience hearing an authentic BMW-powered FW190 (even when just on youtube). On approach it produces a high pitched wheeze (I suppose emanating from the engine cooling fan) and when it passes there's the heavy thumping of a high powered piston engine quickly moving into the distance. Now we know what the 190 really sounded like. Thanks for uploading.
The throaty growl of the engine fly bys are simply incredible. The starting up sound is also very distinctive! Magnificent flying machine! I hope they keep it flying for as long as possible! What a treat! Sturmovik at 10:30!
I'm glad the owner decided to go with the correct symbol on the tail fin, not sugar coat it and either put some BS flag or something that just comes close to the Swastica. It's not racism it's History!
+Charlie Richardson Not forbidden by law in North America but explicitly forbidden by law in many European countries. Those laws were originally written by the occupying Allied forces during demilitarization of territories.
Right On! Well. I still think that deleting our world's history is a buncha BS and I'm glad there are still some of us that can handle the truth of history.Thank you for your response.
My favorite German Fighter. The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was blueprinted by Focke-Wulf but, manufactured by BMW. BMW also blueprinted and manufactured the Fw 190's engine and BMW produced and published the pilot and maintenance manuals for these planes. The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was not a fine-tuned thoroughbred but, a reliable war horse that was easy to learn to fly and easy to land. Learning about BMW's involvement with this plane helped me to respect the BMW brand more. I'm sharing honestly what I know about the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 but, I welcome corrections to any of the points I made here.
Just gorgeous, thank you so much for posting this video,WW2 airplanes were the most beautiful planes ever made, fighter planes these days have no personality whatsoever!! well maybe a few but im a sucker for these old birds,lol.

i have gotten to take a real close look of this plane. they have done an absolutelybeautiful job on it. if you are ever in washington state the flying heritage collection is the place to go
@Snow Wolf And Thunderbolts hammered away on all of them, even the long noses, ask Egon Mayer about how easy it was to shoot down Robert Johnson, that's right you cant, he was shot out of the sky by Thunderbolts, just having the tightest turning radius or the highest speed or the biggest gun on an airplane doesn't make it the best fighter, it's a combination of them all and the training of the pilots flying them that wins in the end, not "what if's" or insane hypotheticals about wonder weapons that were on drawing boards, history has clearly shown that the side with the best trained pilots will be the victors, look at the AVG's record against the Japanese including their famous Zero, all that "looks good on paper" statistics didn't do them any good against a force that just plain had better trained pilots, the Japanese looked invincible in the South Pacific until they came up against the Flying Tigers, then their invincibility stopped dead in it's tracks, just like the German invincibility was stopped dead in it's tracks in the sky's over England.
@Snow Wolf And I don't know what hypothetical world you live in where you can say that the 109 destroyed the Mustang but the reality is the Mustangs destroyed the 109's in real life and not somebody's fantasy fan boy imagination, it's called air-superiority and the Mustang achieved it in real life not fan boy imaginary video game warfare.
Damn. That thing is smoking like an iron horse. We have plenty of american military aircraft from wwII. It's great to see these rare German aircraft being rebuilt. Just grand. FW-190 was a killer. Willie Messerschmidt, Kurt Tank, Kelly Johnson, Donald Douglas, etc. Great designers of aircraft. Unmistakeable radial engine sound. I just love that sound! Too few around anymore. Loping B-25s are a the best of the best. When I was a little boy, I never missed an airshow at the AF base by our home. First to arrive, last to leave, always sunburned!! Thanks for sharing this. It's fantastic!!
One of the BEST videos of flying legends here !!! There`s no best sounding warbird engine - all of them are awesone, but the BMW radial is ranging in the upper class! My opinion, and Thank You for this great video! see and heat that FW-190 is like rewinding the time... By the way, the STORCH and the BF-109 also looking very nice. Greetings, Frank (Germany)
Great to see, but I wish someone would put a Bf 110 in the air. Nothing like the pulsing throb of twin growling Daimler Benz. Question: anyone know why the BMW has a staccato engine note? Sounds like both banks of cylinders have a separated firing order.
That would be absolutely awesome if they could get an Me-110 restored to flying condition. I think though that even if a viable airframe existed, finding two DB engines might be the problem.
They also got the only flyable D9 in the museum, but it is too precious to fly, it is a very nice museum to visit right next to Paine field, don’t miss it when you visit Boeing factory.
I guess the FW is called that because it's a small compact deadly bird of prey-The shrike (or butcher bird or wurger) is a small predatory bird. It's about the size of a dove or pigeon but it hunts other birds, snakes, lizards, insects & small rodents--the nickname comes from it's habit of impaling prey items on thorns, so 'hanging meat'.
@@samb8996 and here, my friends, is a fine example of somebody who likes to say detrimental things about something that in some way shape or form, competes with their beliefs (including nationalism, or something as small as a favourite brand) who never actually owned the damned thing in the first place.
Beautiful plane, all of them, including the Dora right up to the Ta-152. My favorite single-engine fighter of WW2. Her beautiful, clean lines betrayed what a deadly weapon she was.

I used to live right near Paine Field and let me tell you, I could sit in my yard and watch the flying heritage planes circle around as they were preparing to make another pass over the airport for the air show. It's quite amazing, and I'll tell you just the noise from one of those things is pretty loud. Can you imagine seeing a dozen or more overhead?
I always wanted to thank Paul Allen for his contribution to history and tell him how much I admired his collection.
+@timwaslch8198 The new owners have opened the museum again, but no news on any flying. And the collection may move to new facilities in the future.
What a rare rare treat to see and hear this super super rare WWII plane fly again. Great piloting and restoration team!
What a wonderful and exceptionally rare occurrence to see a FW-190 and IL-2M flying together in the same shot (and not trying desperately to kill each other, lol). Great shot of the FW tailing the maneuvering IL-2 earlier.
This is really great stuff! I must make the trip to Everett soon. :)
Happy Merchant lmao especially if the 190 has that double 30mm instalment under the engine
@@consul.5557Are you thinking of the Fw 190 A-7/R1, with twin underwing MG 151, or perhaps the Fw 190 A8/R3, with a MK103 under each wing?
It figures Steve Hinton is at the controls. Best and most experienced war bird pilot there is today. If you have a rare war bird in need of a maiden flight, post restoration, he is the man. I am lucky to live close to his home base at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino CA. He is the best.
Thank goodness the Camp Fire didn't burn them
My favorite WWII German fighter aircraft.
Probably the only one which was a match for alied fighters if flown by a god pilot.
Sanel Šabanovič that’s silly. There are many German WW2 aircraft that outperformed allied aircraft throughout the war. Some of the top aces ever recorded flew planes like the 109, 190, 262
Bf 109 is the most beautiful as well as the best sounding, in my opinion.
@@Archer28M Laughs in 190 262
When I was in the 6th grade I watched a black and white closed loop cassette which was a copy of a Luftwaffe airfield occupied by a FW-190 Squadron. It showed a ground crew dismount the BMW-801, which was installed using quick disconnect fittings; fuel lines, electrical, throttle, etc.. Using an “A” frame hoist, the crew removed the engine, set it aside, opened what looked like a giant hat box on the ground, took out a fresh “Power Egg” and Mounted onto the airframe. Including hooking the fittings: 22min.
In 1984, I was stationed aboard MCAS Yuma. It was at night and though I rarely was on the flight line I had to be there to do a minor repair on a piece of equipment from my shop. I took a late lunch break. In the time that it took get my “gag bag” eat it, I watched a maintenance crew swap out a GE-404 engine on a F/A-18A Hornet, NAVY Squadron VFA-127(?). It took them about 22 min.
The Hornet was a HUGE change in not only capability in the Air, maintenance wise it has a 98% up rate. Vastly superior to the F-4 Phantom II it replaced.
Fantastic piece of history !
Hope I'm lucky enough to get to hear one of these in person
Amazing plane restoration.
An amazing aircraft and era of planes. Not sure why but the engines from those planes always send chills up your back.
Just from a modeler's point of view; To spend all that money to restore an aircraft like this, and put a paint job on it that looks like some of it might have been done in the field, really takes balls. I love it!
There is something about German engines.....their sound is awesome!
No, they sound like scrap, but what matters is performance.
@@marioneto2662 Huh? Virtually all the comments praise the sound except you dumbo.
@@marioneto2662 nah they sound awesome.
@@marioneto2662 radials sound rough compared to a V12 but that is comparing apples to oranges... and maybe the distinctive exhaust note had a psychological effect on the allies too.
i personaly like the sound especialy because it sounds mighty and deep.
V12´s sound soft and muted.
Beautiful aircraft.
Pure earporn. Hope my wife's not watching me
longdonglarry mother is
I have found that I am in the same situation as you. Isn't it great?
I will not date you nevertheless mate. Send me a pic of your sister if you like.
Mine is watching with me!
My wife walks in and says, "Another airplane engine?"
Great video.
No talking, just the sound and the sights!!
That BMW 801 really has its own sound...
The power plants in these birds were a engineering master piece.
Gorgeous aircraft. Hats off to Mr. Allen for the restoration and preservation of this amazing piece of aviation history.
Fw-190 was an outstanding general purpose fighter. If you look at the statistics, it performed well, particularly in the low and medium altitudes where most combat actually occured. One of my favorites! Just listen to the power in that engine!
Thank you Flying Heritage for conserving this wonderful machine.
German warbirds are just in a league for themselves. amazing!
What a beautiful little aeroplane 190 was! Hope that more working BMW mills are found!
Little, but look at how big it is compared to the 109E! The 109 was a big roaring engine with a pilot and airframe and weapons attached as an afterthought.
They say that this is the only FW-190 with its original engine and flight box still intact.
A beautiful example of flying history to be preserved, enjoyed and appreciated by all generations, present and future.
I retired from Boeing. I have seen this flying several times and it is beautiful. (the Boeing EMC hanger is across the street behind the FHC) They have a bunch of flying WWII aircraft there, worth the visit! I used to visit at lunch time.
Pretty cool to see an original FW190 flying again. Makes one wonder how many of these warbirds are tucked away in all corners of the world. Is that the original engine too?
Amazing indeed! And yes, that is an authentic BMW 801
+Fight to Fly Photography *orgasms*
+Fight to Fly Photography Seems unusual smooth-running
+Justin Yeung And eargasims.
+Fight to Fly Photography Didn't Daimler Benz make the engine?
That right there is a beautiful combination of function and form.
Would you listen to that sugar -sweeeet radial......you can keep your merlin
Radials are love.
So, now that there is FW-190 with working 801 engine...
...can we please get La-7 with wooden fuselage? ;-;
this same museum has a Po-2 and an I-16.
If you pay for it.
They all sound great - radials or inlines. It's like the ongoing debate about Strats, Les Pauls and Teles. If you want a really potent sound, try the Napier Sabre. Keep the fire extinguisher handy when starting the 801!
HA! An R-2800 would eat that puny, little thing for lunch.
Great experience hearing an authentic BMW-powered FW190 (even when just on youtube). On approach it produces a high pitched wheeze (I suppose emanating from the engine cooling fan) and when it passes there's the heavy thumping of a high powered piston engine quickly moving into the distance. Now we know what the 190 really sounded like.
Thanks for uploading.
Great video. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to get this 190 in the air
That Butcherbird is one badass aircraft.
The throaty growl of the engine fly bys are simply incredible. The starting up sound is also very distinctive! Magnificent flying machine! I hope they keep it flying for as long as possible! What a treat! Sturmovik at 10:30!
I'm glad the owner decided to go with the correct symbol on the tail fin, not sugar coat it and either put some BS flag or something that just comes close to the Swastica. It's not racism it's History!
+Charlie Richardson Not forbidden by law in North America but explicitly forbidden by law in many European countries. Those laws were originally written by the occupying Allied forces during demilitarization of territories.
Right On! Well. I still think that deleting our world's history is a buncha BS and I'm glad there are still some of us that can handle the truth of history.Thank you for your response.
@@charlierichardson1826 I agree with you completely
My favorite German Fighter. The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was blueprinted by Focke-Wulf but, manufactured by BMW. BMW also blueprinted and manufactured the Fw 190's engine and BMW produced and published the pilot and maintenance manuals for these planes. The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was not a fine-tuned thoroughbred but, a reliable war horse that was easy to learn to fly and easy to land. Learning about BMW's involvement with this plane helped me to respect the BMW brand more. I'm sharing honestly what I know about the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 but, I welcome corrections to any of the points I made here.
Not too many places will you see a FW190, P-47, and P-51 all in the same camera shot!!! What a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Just gorgeous, thank you so much for posting this video,WW2 airplanes were the most beautiful planes ever made, fighter planes these days have no personality whatsoever!! well maybe a few but im a sucker for these old birds,lol.
Хорошая машина,но,я не переношу свастику.

@@АлександрЧикулаев-р1ш Это история во всей ее жестокой форме, которую нельзя забывать никогда.

Yikes a real BMW engine man that’s awesome! That sound is insane

As a boy I dreamed of this FW and the Messerschmitt 109! Still love them!!!!
By the looks of things it's too bad they didn't win the war.

Thank you for preserving this piece of history. To those who object to this I say, 'If history cannot speak the truth, it is not history".
quite a collection. The Focke Wulf 190, ME 109, Feisler Storch, Mustang, Thunderbolt, a Sturmovik and is that a Liberator inside the hanger ??
Beatyful FW190 , fantastic Aircraft :-) Love the sound og of the engine.
Beautiful piece of living history, congrats to all involved with this fine aircraft.
what an awesome lineup well done to all the people keeping the "crates" in the air and preserving history for all to see and hear.
what a glorious tribute to the men that flew in them.
Notice how much sweeter this original BMW radial sounds vs. the Shvetsov powered FW-190A's typically shown on youtube. True radial engine song! Thank you for posting.
A big radial on startup is such a joy to hear. You are very kind to your viewers by giving us several shots of this gorgeous aircraft starting it's rare and iconic engine!
Of course, this is not just any big radial, but a genuine BMW 801. Thank you!
Also, it's such a beautiful thing that we can enjoy seeing the great warbirds fly, sometimes side by side with our former enemies. Retired from fighting, but not from flying, these wonderful planes can bring us together. Long may we enjoy them in peace and friendship.
What a wonderful bird! That sound of screaming beauty, pure mechanical music.
These kinds of things must be preserved.
Ramond Ferreal Definitely. That's why they keep em flying.
A most beautiful sight! And the sounds of the engines are music to my ears!
What's an absolutely stunning machine.
i have gotten to take a real close look of this plane. they have done an absolutelybeautiful job on it. if you are ever in washington state the flying heritage collection is the place to go
OMFG does that baby sound awesome or what?!?!?!?! Beautiful bird!
It sounds and looks amazing !!
beautiful aircraft
I love hearing the BMW. The Allison growls, the DB-600 series whines, the Merlin Purrs, the BMW has a very liquid sound.
Thanks to Paul Allen who had the passion and the means to gift to us these treasure's . Made for war but so lovely.
_That's amazing !_ 👍😍
Beautiful.. :)
Superb sight.
Arguably, one of, if not the best prop fighters ever made. I love the P-38-but facts are facts.
The Renumerator
The best
The P-51 would like a word.
The 190D-9 was arguably the best fighter of WW2. There, I said it. The Ta-152 was the best pure interceptor, but was too late to have any impact.
@Snow Wolf
And Thunderbolts hammered away on all of them, even the long noses, ask Egon Mayer about how easy it was to shoot down Robert Johnson, that's right you cant, he was shot out of the sky by Thunderbolts, just having the tightest turning radius or the highest speed or the biggest gun on an airplane doesn't make it the best fighter, it's a combination of them all and the training of the pilots flying them that wins in the end, not "what if's" or insane hypotheticals about wonder weapons that were on drawing boards, history has clearly shown that the side with the best trained pilots will be the victors, look at the AVG's record against the Japanese including their famous Zero, all that "looks good on paper" statistics didn't do them any good against a force that just plain had better trained pilots, the Japanese looked invincible in the South Pacific until they came up against the Flying Tigers, then their invincibility stopped dead in it's tracks, just like the German invincibility was stopped dead in it's tracks in the sky's over England.
@Snow Wolf
And I don't know what hypothetical world you live in where you can say that the 109 destroyed the Mustang but the reality is the Mustangs destroyed the 109's in real life and not somebody's fantasy fan boy imagination, it's called air-superiority and the Mustang achieved it in real life not fan boy imaginary video game warfare.
Damn. That thing is smoking like an iron horse.
We have plenty of american military aircraft from wwII. It's great to see these rare German aircraft being rebuilt. Just grand. FW-190 was a killer. Willie Messerschmidt, Kurt Tank, Kelly Johnson, Donald Douglas, etc. Great designers of aircraft.
Unmistakeable radial engine sound. I just love that sound! Too few around anymore. Loping B-25s are a the best of the best. When I was a little boy, I never missed an airshow at the AF base by our home. First to arrive, last to leave, always sunburned!!
Thanks for sharing this. It's fantastic!!
My favorite aircraft ever. The Butcher Bird!
One of the BEST videos of flying legends here !!! There`s no best sounding warbird engine - all of them are awesone, but the BMW radial is ranging in the upper class! My opinion, and Thank You for this great video! see and heat that FW-190 is like rewinding the time... By the way, the STORCH and the BF-109 also looking very nice. Greetings, Frank (Germany)
Ла 5, Ла 7, Ил 2 вот это аппараты!
1+ For not censoring out the Swastikas.
Steve Hinton in the cockpit !
My gratitude goes out for these amazing shots on camera.
Beautiful aircraft. Glad to see that it’s historically correct with it’s livery. The sound is FANTASTIC!!
That's so smooth, it makes a P47 start-up sound like a bucket of bolts. ;-) Don't get me wrong, I love the Jug and it's sound.
Interesting, I was thinking that I like the sound of a Pratt&Whitney R2800 better.
Agree, but the P-47 definitely sounds nice
Wow, that is AMAZING!
Beautiful designs indeed. As if every nation has its own wisdom in design.
Amazing sight,sound and aircraft. One only reads about these legends..here you see and hear them! Fantastic!
Wow, we are so privileged to see living history in these handmade marvels of engineering.
Great to see, but I wish someone would put a Bf 110 in the air. Nothing like the pulsing throb of twin growling Daimler Benz. Question: anyone know why the BMW has a staccato engine note? Sounds like both banks of cylinders have a separated firing order.
Iirc it's due to the exhaust setup.
Cylinders 9 and 10 share one exhaust pipe, which causes it to "stutter" a bit.
Marc Conyard m
That would be absolutely awesome if they could get an Me-110 restored to flying condition.
I think though that even if a viable airframe existed, finding two DB engines might be the problem.
What a beautiful aircraft.... I cant even imagine the price of this original bird..
One of the best of all time !
They also got the only flyable D9 in the museum, but it is too precious to fly, it is a very nice museum to visit right next to Paine field, don’t miss it when you visit Boeing factory.
The radial engine sound.
What a melody, as sweet as the ferrari colombo v12 engine.
Thanks for that share.
Wow......thanks for remaining those beautiful german historic planes. Keep the good work up and let them fly!
Best wishes from Germany :)
Der wunderbare Würger!
Why is it called like that?
I guess the FW is called that because it's a small compact deadly bird of prey-The shrike (or butcher bird or wurger) is a small predatory bird. It's about the size of a dove or pigeon but it hunts other birds, snakes, lizards, insects & small rodents--the nickname comes from it's habit of impaling prey items on thorns, so 'hanging meat'.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. Have a nice weekend!
You're welcome.
alles klar
Made in Germany, thats quality.
Yes just like BMW cars that constantly need repairs ! Nobody in Japan is concerned about what is coming out of Germany
@@samb8996 and here, my friends, is a fine example of somebody who likes to say detrimental things about something that in some way shape or form, competes with their beliefs (including nationalism, or something as small as a favourite brand) who never actually owned the damned thing in the first place.
Beautiful plane, all of them, including the Dora right up to the Ta-152. My favorite single-engine fighter of WW2. Her beautiful, clean lines betrayed what a deadly weapon she was.
