God the FW190 was a very advanced design for its time. It shares a huge amount of similarities with today's experimental racers based on the Bearcat F8F, let alone the original design. Also its nice to see one, I wish more of these wonderful aircraft had survived the war. It looks wonderful with its original war colors, the swirly prop goes really well with the 190.
Isn't that the FW that has a R-2800 stuffed under the cowling.Didn't see much rudder on the King Cobra at take off, NICE! She even lands smooth! Great vid, THANKS!
If it's the grey camo bird you're referring to at about the 5:33 mark that would be Rudy Frasca's new-build Flug Werk Focke-Wulf FW-190A9, this one is the only one powered by an R-2800 which is a huge engine for that airframe. The silver 4 engine bird that you see departing the show was the Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, it was derived from the Consolidated B-24 Liberator and used by the Navy as a patrol bomber.
Oscar Thorpe Oh, that would be the Bell P-63, not many of them left in flying condition. It's a very different setup in the way it's powered, the engine is behind the pilot and the drive shaft runs along under the pilots seat to the front to a reduction gear box.
Thank You - no goofy music!! Just the music of the engines - great video
Perfect video.. No music, great panning.

no engine should be bm801 radial not r-2800 p47 and corsair hd r-2800 engine
Not a lot of FW-190s still have their original engines, besides, PoF’s is a replica.
Premier air show, great camera work. Love tha B-17
The Griffon Spitfire almost has a radial sound to it. So different to the Merlin.
Well done on the vids!
what was the one at 5:33
and what was the big 4-engined one that wasn't the b-17, was it a b-24?

ah right ok, gee, you know your stuff haha
but I meant the dark green aircraft before the focke-wulf

yes b-24 Liberator
what is the plane at 2:30?
That would be a Swiss Pilatus P-2, the only one flying in North America.
