FHC's newly arrived FW190A5 circa 1943 has been assembled and the BMW 801 radial engine fires for the first time at FHC's Paine Field location in Washington State.
This is the actual engine as found with the plane when it was recovered. The only flying BMW801 in the world. Yes, a lot of 190 repros use Russian radials.
Luke Nelson that's bullshit. go to the Holocaust Museum in DC sir. never forget is the theme. throwing cover to the swastika by referencing a historical artifact does not wash! tell me how many people out of 100 what identify that symbol as other than pure evil and disgust . also who the hell but you said the hammer and sickle was okay evil is evil asshole
I'm glad you're glad - here's the deal on the swastika. Just because it is historically correct in this iteration does not dismiss the legitimate trauma of people who suffered or had family who suffered immensely and unimaginably by forces whose flags and iconography sported that symbol. I believe aircraft owners should be able to paint what they want on their aircraft (within aviation guidelines where applicable), including swastikas on their German warbirds. But I also recognize and accept that there are many people and their families who have legitimate reasons for hating the very idea. As for the crap argument that the swastika means a lot of other things and has been used in various forms for thousands of years, cut the crap - we all know what it means when a swastika is on a german warbird, circa 1933-45. What I don't get is how, in the case of a German warbird NOT sporting a swastika because the aircraft owner has made their own choice for their own reasons, that such an omission brings a bunch of hand wringing over such a blow to history you'd think the Library of Alexandria had burned down again. Every damn video there's a german warbird without a swastika, oh, the humanity, and every video of a german warbird WITH a swastika, "glad to see the swastika." It's almost as if people are so proud of knowing there were swastikas on german warbirds they make a point to reflect how historically important it is. Just enjoy the beautiful aircraft and stfu.
Some German warbirds have swastikas - and that's fine with me - but I recognize and respect the reasons why other people might be horrified by this. Some German warbirds DON'T have swastikas - and that's fine with me - because I recognize and respect the aircraft owner's right to adorn his aircraft the way he wants to. What I don't recognize or respect is the idea that IF a german warbird doesn't have a swastika that this is some terrible assault on history and, by connection, that if the german warbird DOES have a swastika, that the historical component of it dismisses the legitimate horror such iconography has come to represent. And I am contemptuous of the laughable idea that a swastika on a German warbird is there representing anything other than the Third Reich and the nazis.
A great restoration! I’m a fan of the Focke Wulf fighters, both the “short nose” BMW 801 radial engine version and the “long nose” Junkers Jumo 213 inline engine version. I believe in historic accuracy and authenticity in Luftwaffe aircraft including the swastika ! 👍👍👍
That's what I like.....real men with enough balls to properly mark historic warbirds with full realism and not cave into the craven cowards and soybois
I'm actually shocked that no one stopped him, after all this is Washington State, and Paine is right in the general Seattle Metro area. Yes, showing history as it really was does not mean you approve of it. (But now watch how many Nazi accusations get levelled at me, lol).
It's easy to make fun of triggered SJWs but if a vet or holocaust survivor with PTSD gets triggered (literally their condition btw) are you gonna call them cowards? My grandfather would get triggered everytime he saw a Mitsubishi driving down the street, would you call him a soyboy? My take is that it's fine to preserve these historical artifacts the exact way they existed BUUUT it's ALSO ok if the restoration team wants to not show a certain symbol that represented an oppressive and genocidal regime that literally 35 million people across the world fought and died to get rid of On another completely different note, you trying to turn this into unnecessary culture war BS does absolutely nothing for no one
Gunnernacho118 The only things wrong is the retarded battle rating system and a few fucked up flight models. The damage models need a little work as well. And the community as well. That needs sorting out.
halowraith1 I've played WT a while ( my profile is the same name as on here ) but it lost its appeal. It's not fun anymore. I'm very happy with DCS now.
The Fw190 A-5 above is Werk. No. 0151227 delivered to service in April 1943 and lost on July 19, 1943 from engine failure. It crashed in a wooded area and the pilot was taken POW. The wreck was discovered sometime around 1988-89 and it was removed in 1991. A full restoration was completed to airworthy in December 2010.
@trupr I'm not sure how much of the original engine was used. It was badly damaged from oil starvation and the insides were blue from heat when they took it apart. Engine failure caused the crash. They located and used a total of six core engines for parts to build the BMW 801.
The Bosch inertia starters can also be turned with external electric power. The ground helper in the blue jumpsuit will disconnect the power cord for the start cart batteries from the power port on the fuselage.
If it is an BMW 801, then he has direct fuel injection and the "Komandogerät" as controler for all the engine parameters. A mechanical marvel of control engineering !!
@@FiveCentsPlease That is is great, this engine is better than the Russian ASH engine. Maybe I can visit one day our friends in the USA and see and enjoy the sound of this old bird.
The original paint scheme was photographed and documented during restoration and was recreated during painting. (Although the exact shades are being debated, and some RLM color numbers were experimental when this plane was in service.) It is using the JG54 summer camouflage colors which can be found on other aircraft also.
@agentolshki Lost on 19-July-1943 in a remote Russian forest and pilot was POW. Abandoned by Luftwaffe and overgrown with trees. It remained mostly undisturbed with few items removed. Filmed in 1989 and recovered in 1991 (post Soviet collapse) to the UK. Partial restoration by first owner, then sold Flying Heritage Collection. Restoration to full original condition completed by 2010, with the first flight in Dec. 2010. Now with FHC museum and flies on scheduled flying days a few times per year.
@Leeridiot The paint is not wrong. It's JG54 summer camouflage of greens and browns, which you can research for more info. This is the exact color scheme that was painted on the aircraft when it went down in July 1943. It was photographed and documented and paint samples taken before the plane was restored.
@the82spartans Engine sabotage is one theory for the crash. The original Luftwaffe combat report states loss from flak, but no battle damage was found during restoration and it was determined that the engine had failed. Several accounts (including a direct account from one of the restoration team) stated that the engine oil lines were blocked by foreign objects or rags.
Total losses were 40,000,000! Which one did the BMW kill? How about Dresden?~~~~~ "The Bombing of Dresden was a strategic military attack on the city of Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony, between 13 February and 15 February 1945, 1,300 heavy bombers (RAF) and the (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city. The resulting firestorm caused thousands of civilian casualties.
@t110d93 This paint is the JG54 summer camo scheme that was on the plane on the day it crashed, although there is some disagreement on the exact RLM color shades that were used. This is complicated by the new color shades that the Luftwaffe was experimenting with at that time. The original paint was photographed and documented during restoration.
@MrJp990 This is the ONLY airworthy restored WWII original Fw190 and it has an actual BMW 801. This was a very high quality restoration to exact original condition, and this museum re-manufactures original parts when needed. One or two other WWII original Fw190s are still being restored and I know one of those will be airworthy. The other examples are not restored originals and come from a new production run of 21 replica aircraft with the Russian/Chinese radials.
Nice vid. I like the 801 sound much better than the ash nice loping rumble. Don't care for the paint job but it's an original scheme seen a bit of reference to it just personally like the 74/75/76 birds. I hope she hangs around for a long time!
@MrJp990 The Flying Heritage Collection pampers their airplanes, and they are only exercised a few times a year with a conservative flight display at the museum. So this Fw190 is in good hands along with the other aircraft.
You Sure?? at 1.20 HE tells the pilot to disengage the starter.......sounds a lot like a young bloke to me. My 22yo son has hair like that, and is about 6 foot too like this lad......Not that there anything wrong with you liking blokes, if you are that way inclined...;).
@wordbeyotch Colors were matched from areas less likely to have weathered. When the paint was finished, there was some debate over the exact color shades. Some felt that the colors would have come from local "captured" sources such as Russian paint stocks while others believed the paints were RLM color shades. JG54 may have been field testing early versions of RLM 81/82 colors during the time period that this plane was lost and photos show other planes painted similar.
When the German govt abandons equipment, it does not belong to them anymore. It crashed in the Soviet Union, it is theirs to do what they want with it. Maybe the Germans shouldn't have been flying machines of war over another country if they are so concerned about getting their aircraft back.
@FiveCentsPlease By that, I meant that at least it is not on display, not flying. Anyway, thanks for the information, sir. I hope you help many other information seekers like me!
@FiveCentsPlease No, kidding? I hope that they never put this in a museum for viewing. Just like the Ki-43 with its original engine, and the TA-152 with its original engine. Those were put in museums.... I hope that this Focke-Wulf keeps flying on.
Documented as JG54 summer colors, and you can find photos of other Fw190s painted similarly. The paint that remained on the aircraft was photographed and documented from its last mission in July 1943, and was recreated in the restoration. There is some debate on the shades that are used, but the Luftwaffe was experimenting with new colors at that time. Can send you photos if you wish.
next vid can you show the cooling fan running ( I think it is 1.3 crankshaft rotaytion. This is really cool, my dad was engineer at Focke-Wulf ( he told me the ME110 was the biggest pile of hit flown by the Luftwaffe
Spörde Spyrdenstein Indeed. To start with, the Bf 110 wasn´t a bad aircraft... and it didn´t try to kill you while attempting to fly it, unlike the Me 210. It took almost 4 years for a viable design to reach the front lines.
I knew there would be an immediate negative reaction to the tail insignia. To me the technology can be separated from the ideology and still represent what was the leading edge for a time during WWII. What makes any public display of Nazi symbology is the modern appropriation glorifying their time and Hitler's megalomania. Does anyone find it odd that the rising sun on replica's of the A6M doesn't ruffle the same feathers?
@Drmadman1333 Fw190 F-8 #931832 is under restoration to original condition (airworthy) and should be finished over the next few years. It flew with the standard blue/gray camouflage and was lost on 9-Feb 1945, so it's possible that it had the remains of winter whitewash, but I'm unsure if that will be featured on the final paint.
if you gonna think of it that way,there are still engines manufacturer in UK and US that made engines for planes,tanks etc during ww2... such a stupid comment.. as one wrote here,it wasnt the engine that killed... it was the man piloting the aircraft,or the crew of the tank etc.. it is never the weapon that kills,but the man behind it...
We have two seater Spitfires going overhead all day long where I live ( 20 miles SE of London). Sometimes one does a barrel roll. It's almost boring .That's big old boys , or girls, enjoying their 60th birthday - at great cost. When are we going to see a two seat FW ?
One minute and fifty seconds of zzzzzz, followed by two seconds of engine run. What makes you believe people are interested in nothing vs. the beautiful sound of that BMW 801 radial?
+ @christopherslane7830 This video was made when the Fw-190 arrived at Paul Allen's museum by truck and it was being reassembled. They were performing the first engine checks and were not making any flights.
@trupr that is also nice, I would like to see one with a winter camo, you know, light blues, and grays, and whites, would look awsome, have you have ever heard of the Ta-152, it was the mustang of the German Luffwaffe, it was very nice.
+ Boar Zwid The camouflage was reproduced based on examination of the plane after it was cleaned. Also from photos of other JG54 Fw-190s in Summer 1943 colors. wingstracksguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/focke-wulf-fw-190a-5-sc250-parachute-1024x628.jpg
@Lee78072 There is a replica flying in Germany now, and several other Fw190 replicas have flown there. Germany also has 3 flying Me109s and a replica Me 262. It's only not legal to display the swastika there.
What the? All of that ... it finally starts ... then abruptly ends! Why did they not continue filming!?! I swear, not too long ago I watched a video and the person cut away just as the engine started! Now this one the engine starts and we get just less than 10 seconds of it running! Argh!
+middleclassic This video was filmed when the aircraft arrived by truck from Arizona and they were putting it back together. There a plenty of flying videos of it now. ruclips.net/video/4V3TlPYL8Sw/видео.html
@the82spartans Apparently remanufactured engines were sent to operating units from factories back at home. Due to a wartime shortage of homegrown labor, they often used slave labor as they did in many other industries. Some of those laborers simply sabotaged the German war machine by making dud shells, poorly constructed equipment and in this case apparently, a really crappy remanufactured engine. Obviously time took presidence over quality control in those days.
@trupr yes the 190 was one of the best when it came to radial engine fighters, to me it would look good with a black, and gray camo, with a yellow nose, what do u think?
She looks great from the rear. F-190 looks great too. The A5s were the best looking of the bunch. What a blast to fly that beast. I can only imagine.
Well, if so, he's the most femenistic I've ever seen, especially the way he stands.
This is the actual engine as found with the plane when it was recovered. The only flying BMW801 in the world. Yes, a lot of 190 repros use Russian radials.
Thanks for keeping these vintage aircraft flying.

There should be more German aircraft of the war years in this kind of condition I am envious of the guy who o gets to fly the Fw 190
You should see their P47.
@Drmadman1333
Fw190 F-8 #931832 is under restoration to original condition (airworthy) and should be finished over the next few years. It flew with the standard blue/gray camouflage and was lost on 9-Feb 1945, so it's possible that it had the remains of winter whitewash, but I'm unsure if that will be featured on the final paint.
Great looking aircraft, might fit in my garage just fine...lol
if you gonna think of it that way,there are still engines manufacturer in UK and US that made engines for planes,tanks etc during ww2... such a stupid comment.. as one wrote here,it wasnt the engine that killed... it was the man piloting the aircraft,or the crew of the tank etc.. it is never the weapon that kills,but the man behind it...
skip to 1:40 for 10 seconds and save that whole minute for better things
We have two seater Spitfires going overhead all day long where I live ( 20 miles SE of London). Sometimes one does a barrel roll. It's almost boring .That's big old boys , or girls, enjoying their 60th birthday - at great cost. When are we going to see a two seat FW ?
Spitfire Mk IX fodder but it was the Hawker Tempest and Sea Fury prototype. Credit where credit is due.
nope
The painting could have been better but the sound is awesome
Dont waste your time, go to 1:40
When you finally bust that long awaited nut
My time wasnt wasted
One minute and fifty seconds of zzzzzz, followed by two seconds of engine run. What makes you believe people are interested in nothing vs. the beautiful sound of that BMW 801 radial?
+ @christopherslane7830 This video was made when the Fw-190 arrived at Paul Allen's museum by truck and it was being reassembled. They were performing the first engine checks and were not making any flights.
@trupr that is also nice, I would like to see one with a winter camo, you know, light blues, and grays, and whites, would look awsome, have you have ever heard of the Ta-152, it was the mustang of the German Luffwaffe, it was very nice.
The camouflage scheme looks different from when it was found around St. Petersburg
+ Boar Zwid The camouflage was reproduced based on examination of the plane after it was cleaned. Also from photos of other JG54 Fw-190s in Summer 1943 colors. wingstracksguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/focke-wulf-fw-190a-5-sc250-parachute-1024x628.jpg
it looks kinda funny how the swastika is on the tail of that FW-190 because here in Germany it's forbidden
@Lee78072
There is a replica flying in Germany now, and several other Fw190 replicas have flown there. Germany also has 3 flying Me109s and a replica Me 262. It's only not legal to display the swastika there.
What the?
All of that ... it finally starts ... then abruptly ends! Why did they not continue filming!?! I swear, not too long ago I watched a video and the person cut away just as the engine started! Now this one the engine starts and we get just less than 10 seconds of it running! Argh!
+middleclassic This video was filmed when the aircraft arrived by truck from Arizona and they were putting it back together. There a plenty of flying videos of it now. ruclips.net/video/4V3TlPYL8Sw/видео.html
Fast forward to 1:42, nice plane.
@the82spartans Apparently remanufactured engines were sent to operating units from factories back at home. Due to a wartime shortage of homegrown labor, they often used slave labor as they did in many other industries. Some of those laborers simply sabotaged the German war machine by making dud shells, poorly constructed equipment and in this case apparently, a really crappy remanufactured engine. Obviously time took presidence over quality control in those days.
I always wonder how they managed a quick takeoff when alarm was 🤔
As per manual, spinning up the flywheel per auxiliary power took 15 to 20 seconds, so that's pretty quick.
Check the grandpa at 00:20 He tries to amplify the starter by giving it a headbutt !!
Este avión si es original ya k tiene la eswastica en la cola.k orgullo.
The yellow band wrapped around the fuselage with the cross over the band would signify this would have been the group leader's plane.
That sounds just like the millenium falcon when lightspeed fails.. 0:20
Yellow bands indicate axis aircraft in service on Eastern front (Russia) during WW2 which would include Germany, Romania, Italy, Hungary

@trupr yes the 190 was one of the best when it came to radial engine fighters, to me it would look good with a black, and gray camo, with a yellow nose, what do u think?
Beast !
