Shhhhh....dont mention the war...lol Excellent video and an amazing collection. Ive been in love with the D13 since I first saw it in Broken Eagles about 30 years ago. I didnt know that a real 262 was ready to fly. Can you find out what engine parts they reproduced ? that would be a great video in itself. The original enginges were good for 12 hours at best I believe.
PaddyPatrone Your narration was fantastic. I love your videos. I’m fortunate to live just a short distance north of the Flying Heritage Collection and you did a great job presenting it.
Excellent video with typical germanic attention to detail. Yellow 10 entered our shop in Augsburg about 1971 for airframe repairs. The engine MBG was in situ but I cannot say whether it was complete. We had to find a prop hub and were contacted by a farmer near Aachen who had dug up a Junkers engine during drainage work. We steam cleaned the scrap engine and removed the prop hub. Dye penetration tests revealed no cracks which was surprising. The wooden prop blades had sheared off upon impact leaving 5cm of rotting laminate within the hub but as we found by drilling, good hard wood deeper into the prop roots. Two 20mm high tensile bolts were hammered into 18mm holes we'd drill in the prop root and using a steel bar as a lever between the vertical bolts, started to hammer. Two days and one wristwatch later we changed the direction of attack and the first prop root began to unscrew, left hand thread. The freed propeller root came out with a 'pop', the buna rubber o-ring still intact and the lube oil still in good condition. German engineering......
Williams Flugzeuge, I was partner. We moved to Flugplatz Guenzburg in 1974. Your English beats my German by around 6 million miles. And I'm not exaggerating...
PS. Kurt Tank did visit us but asked that We did not ask detailed technical questions as it was a long time ago. He was a good guy and very interesting. In another story, I also met Hanna Reitsch but did not have the confidence to ask her about her service experiences, something I regret to this day. The 1970's were happy days....
@@vandalsavage6152 It is my understanding that the MBG unit was missing or incomplete and that is why the plane could barely run or could only idle at Doug Champlin's museum when they did exhibition runs. When Champin decided to restore the plane again at Gosshawk I believe they were able to locate another MGB for it as well as the correct propeller hub for the D-13. Gosshawk wanted to roll it out for proper engine runs and make some video but this was at the time that Paul Allen bought it for the public opening of his museum and there was a big rush to paint it and get it on the truck for the museum. The original VS9 paddle-blade propeller is still missing and it makes the plane look incomplete. Author Jerry Crandall played a pivotal role in discovery and identification of the plane in the late 1960s and he had mentioned that a private individual has the prop so maybe one day it will return to the plane. There is a lot of talk that it is "airworthy" at Paul Allen's museum, however in my opinion it would need a bit more work for fly. Champlin had the electricals, fuel system and other items replaced with new components in the second restoration, as well as arranging with the USAF Museum to obtain the correct wing that had been mixed up with their D-9 decades earlier. I think both the engine and the wing would need additional work to be safe for flying. It is such a rare aircraft that I am fine if it never flies. There are a few people working on Dora restorations and one will fly eventually.
@@vandalsavage6152 - Now they seem so but back then you had your country split in two, the Berlin Wall and the almost daily threat of a nuclear war....Those were rough times as the tomorrow seemed so bleak...Fortunately, the human mind quickly forgets the bad times and remembers freshly the good ones.

Olaf Weinzer Same same. We can not make something like you do when it comes to cars, but many enjoys anime and video games around the globe. Hi from originally Nagasaki.
This aircraft (Yellow 10) is actually an Fw 190 D-13 and the only one left in the world. There's an excellent book detailing the history of "Yellow 10" written by Jerry Crandall.
Is there not one in the Museum of the US Air force in Dayton Ohio. I remember something about the original wing from this aircraft on their example and the wing from theirs on this aircraft. I believe they swapped wings.
@@richs7362 The Fw190 in Dayton is a D-9. Both aircraft were at this base dis-assembled at one time and when the D-13 was transported to a new destination, the D-9 wings were inadvertently shipped with it. Although the wings appeared to be identical and attached visually, various controls within the wings didn't align properly. Years later, the wings were swapped back to the correct aircrafts.
i read a great interview with the FW-190 designer. He talked about the particular design and feel of the flight controls under full G load, amongst other things. Have u read it before?
Great video. German engineering and manufacturing of WW2 is truly fantastic, regardless of their enemy status. Those planes are truly beautiful even if they were built to wage war and death. The Germans led the world in so many ways, and rockets and jet engines are only two examples.
I love these vintage war planes. Thank you Paul Allen for your passion with these aircraft. It is an expensive hobby, but worth every penny in my opinion. It makes me cringe to think how many were destroyed, and how few remain after so many were built. These German planes were exceptionally well designed and built under very difficult conditions..
Don't worry about the accent - we hear a lot of german in the US. Some of us who live here had relatives come to the states 200+ years ago, and german is still spoken in the house. As we used to say, I'll be critical of your english when my german is as good as your english. Which will be never.
I was driving by Paine Field last summer and there was an air show going on. We pulled into a strip mall on the approach end of the runway and watched for 20 minutes as a B-25, P-51, Hurricane and P-47 flew 150' over the top of us in formation. It was incredible!!
I went to this museum for their Memorial Day show last year. They didn't do any flying, but they did some great shows of some of the armored vehicles. The Luftwaffe exhibit was impressive. They also had a pretty good exhibit of Japanese planes. This museum is well worth the money to see. Your English is much better than my Deutsch sir. I could probably still read the important signs and navigate the Flughafn, Ubahn, und Hauptbahnhof. I could easily order food at a Gasthaus though. That's the brain running on autopilot. Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed the diagram of the air flow through the 190 radial cowling. Well done.
I really enjoyed this. I missed the premier because of life stuff, but I've been excited all day about this video. Great footage, with a lot of detail. The footage of the 801 is just excellent.
Just went to the "Flying Heritage" museum last month.(Feb 2020). Extremely cool!! One thing I thought was really cool was each aircraft had a placard that gave information about the aircraft in general, then gave information about THIS aircraft. SOO great to learn about the aircraft you were seeing right in front of you. Also ,..SOO great to see drip pans under most of the aircraft,... A sign that they were alive and would see the air soon!! Thank You!!
I love how you pronounced the German terms so accurately. Thanks for the great cameraman-ship, edit, and excellent narration on all small details!!! I learned so much from this video.
beautifully presented in this video---especially given the excellent German and English pronunciation....meticulously described parts and bulges that fill in voids in other descriptions, plus some very interesting anecdotes about flying these rare survivors. Fun to watch again and again. Love the accuracy and the precise enunciation. This is a treasured video---enjoy the history of the crashes, discoveries and the restoration dates, details and progress. Looking forward to more videos by this presenter!
Terrific video! I spent three years in the U.S. Army in Heidelberg, Germany and with the help of some of the German Military Police soldiers I worked with was able to visit several museums. Really excited to see the JU-87 cannon armed Stuka being built. Thanks so much!
+ Craig Finley It won't be a cannon-armed Stuka. That would be awesome. They are building a Ju-87R-4 with the extended range option. The desert colors are because it left the factory in North African colors, but was taken and allocated to the Eastern Front. The restoration was recreating all the layers of paint and when finished it was going to be painted in Eastern Front colors.
Vielen Dank, Herr für diese ausgezeichnete Präsentation. Ihr Englisch ist in Ordnung. Ich bin selbst Ex-Boeing-Flugzeugingenieur. Guten Tag, "der Mikester". Highlands Ranch, CO, USA.
I've been to this museum years ago and seen these aircraft. They're beautifully restored relics . This is just a fraction of aircraft on display there. I highly recommend going there if in Seattle .I build scale models so this place was a reference dream come true. I took dozens of pics.They have aircraft on display outdoors too including a Concorde that you can walk through. An excellent and very well made video. Thanks Paddy and your English is fine.
Excellent vid, great warbirds! Just one little correction: Bf 109E had the hole in the propeller shaft and space for the cannon installation but the cannons were never installed there in combat machines. So Emils had only two cannons in the wings. The first variant with the 20 mm cannon in the propeller shaft was Bf 109F.
Thank you for this. My favorite was always the BF 109G. Years ago I went to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD. At the time they had many tanks, mostly WWII. The Tiger I was being evaluated apparently and not out there. I was all alone climbing on those tanks. But my favorite memory is when I was 16 and on vacation, going through Ohio. We stopped at Wright-Patterson AFB and it was a slow summer morning. My brothers and I went in to the one hanger with WWII planes. No one around! I climbed up onto the Focke Wolf fighter, opened the cowling over the engine, looked at those beautiful 13mm guns and then tried to open the canopy. I got scared and jumped off the plane. That particular plane is still there but much more inaccessible. Werner Molders plane I believe. I lived in Germany for 2 months but never got to see any of the restored 109s, tanks or other WWII things. I want to go back.
Great video! A few extra tidbits of info about the FHCAM Luftwaffe warbirds: 1) The wheel chocks you see on the Fw190D-13 are Luftwaffe chocks from WWII. 2) The FHCAM chief test pilot is Steve Hinton (who is also the President of Planes of Fame in China, CA, USA) and he was surprised when he first flew the Fw190A-5. He had previously qualified on a Flugwerk replica and was not very impressed, but he found the real Fw190 to be much better in handling and power as well as better build quality. He made these comments at the sneak preview for the Me262. 3) It is my understanding that the MBG is indeed installed in the Fw190D-13 but that they lack the documentation to calibrate it. The Kommandogeraet in the A-5's BMW801 is of course fully functional.
So the MBG is complete? Wonder if there is anyone who could set it up correctly. I think the guys at vintageV12 ae also rebuilding a Jumo213, right? If you guys ever plan to do another engine run with the D-13, please leave me a message. Would be awesome to film this.
@@PaddyPatrone When Doug Champlin had the D-13 restored again several years ago many items were corrected and missing items found. It is my understanding that an MGB was found. But I have not seen any evidence that Vintage V12s actually rebuilt and certified that engine for flight. There was a big rush to finish it for the new owner (Paul Allen) and it was loaded on the truck before there was any chance to do a new engine run for some video. The new restoration also installed brand new wiring and plumbing, and new fuel tanks. The correct wing was exchanged from the USAF Museum and the correct propeller hub was located for the cannon installation. Still missing is the original paddle blade style propeller and a replacement was not manufactured.
So so nice to have narration by someone who actually knows what he is talking about, extremely well spoken English, no need for excuses my friend, bravo!
I wonder if they'll ever do mock dive bombing routines at airshows. They also have a working Flak 88 and fire it at their IL-2 Sturmovik during shows. It's super cool
Greetings from Ireland. Glad you made that informative video of those rare and interesting aircraft .hope the collection stays together. Good work. Thank you.
+freegw1 Very glad that your dad rescued it from an uncertain fate in Atlanta. It nearly ended up in the landfill. I believe that your dad sold it to Dave Kate in California who later sold it to Champlin.
Great history sharing of some of the most unique, interesting German aircraft. Who would have thought they would end up in Seattle of all places ??? Anyways, they seem to be taking really good care of them. Great Job !!! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video and ties in with my recollection from my visit. Another great visit is the tour of the Boeing wide body plant at Payne Field, from where the completed aircraft (747/777/787, etc.) take off for test flights or final delivery to the customer.
I just stumbled onto your channel...and subscribed. The FW 190, my favorite German WWII fighter. Especially the A series. Thank you on the details on how the tail wheel retracted. Interesting story on the JU 87 pilot. Thank you again, keep them coming.
Your English is fine Thank you for the video . The Landing Gear on the Ju 87 Story Fits . There was a Model made in limited numbers that had a feature that would help the Pilot survive a Water ditching Emergency . They could Jettison the Landing gear . I was amazed when I heard that .
Fascinating. I found myself glued to the screen, almost without realizing it. I'd love to visit America again one day, and just tour around all the museums. It will happen, maybe in the next few years.
Thanks for posting this. Great footage especially of the Fw 190 D with the inline engine. I didn't realise that they have an IL-2 Sturmovik there. Maybe one day I will visit them.
Brilliant walk-around of the aircraft. Thanks for the teaser at the end showing the larger collection. I was stationed at Fort Lewis in 2005-2006. I regret that I didn’t know about this collection. Thanks for the video. Tschüss
Omg such a cool plane! My favorite since I was 11 years old. I built several airplanes but never got to build one of these!! Well there is still time to do it!! Ty for showing us this
That was truly an exceptional video from both the educational and informative as well as the entertainment value. Paul Allen made a huge contribution to aviation and WWII historical aircraft preservation. We are all sad that such a good man was taken before his time but his legacy lives on through the Heritage Museum and videos such as this. Please keep up the important work and thank you for this fine video. I love the German accent by the way and there is no better person to describe the collection's German heritage aircraft. It was much better than an English speaker stumbling poorly over the pronunciations that you did so well. And thank you for the included links. I watched them all.
Danke Paddy. My friend in Arizona knows Dave Goss and we went by his shop when he was in Masa when I went out to visit from Ohio. I couldn't believe what I saw as the FW 190D is my best aircraft of all time. I saw her fuselage and her wings off to the side and my jaw dropped to my chest. Ja ein gut und schön tag.
Excellent video of a fantastic collection. I wish, we could see a Fw-190 D9 or D13 in Germany. I would love to see those planes in real life. But one has to give credit to the enormous efforts done by British and US collections to restore those planes even to flightworthy condition in some cases. A flightworthy Me-262 with Jumo 004 engines would be an amazing feat and a masterpiece in restoration. However, I respect those people not willing to take the risk of flying the last Fw190-D13 or even the Me-262. Although I probably would part with a kidney, just to hear the Jumbo 213 under full supercharger pressure with MW50 active - or even hear a pair of Jumo 004's in flight.
I heard that some years ago that somewhere in the Seattle area there's a company that has built brand new ME-262's for sale to whomever would want and afford one. It still looks like a vintage ME-262 but has modern engines and equipment installed where it can be used. Each aircraft was well into the two plus million dollar price tag (as I remember) it just depended what kind of navigation and com equipment you wanted and the assorted ground equipment one would need to get this plane off the ground. I believe that P-51 Mustang's brand new from the ground up are also available if you're pockets are deep enough. So almost anything is probably possible and would be limited ONLY by your imagination and your pocket book...
Great video. The ME-109E variant had only two 20mm ff canon in the wings. The motor kanone was removed as it suffered overheating issues. The port in the propeller boss was for cooling.
@@PaddyPatrone Yes, this is true for all E variants. The short nose combined with the DB-601 A or N did not leave enough room to fit a cannon behind the engine. With the new F variant, the nose was lengthened for aerodynamic reasons (and to accomodate the slightly bigger DB-601 E), which allowed for the installation of a cannon behind the engine, starting with F-2 (15mm) and F-4 (20mm).
@@lateempire5378 Thanks for your input! Guess the FHC website needs an update ;) flyingheritage.org/Explore/The-Collection/Germany/Messerschmitt-Bf-109-E-3-(Emil).aspx
Excellent video . Looks like you got some great access to these rare aircraft . Seeing and hearing them fly is something else .Dien Englisch ist sehr gut. Vielen dank.
These guys (& gals) who restore these old war birds do beautiful work to say the least. My late father had a good friend, now also deceased, who was on the board of directors of the Lone Star Flight Museum when it was still in Galveston Texas before Hurricane Ike severely damaged it. He took me, my dad & brother on a tour of the machine shop which is closed to the general public. That was a treat. I wish I could afford to see more of these museums.
Thank you for the excellent tour!! I haven't been but its definitely on my to do list!! I want to see these in action! Nice job keep up the great work!!
I visited the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum last week and it was well worth the trip from Portland, OR. I wish I had come across this video before my visit as it would have added to my visit! Thanks for the video!
Nice video. I'm in Seattle and have been to FHC dozens of times. I took a warbird maintenance class their a few years back and we got to do all kinds of fun stuff. But one thing that's always stuck with me is how awesome the fw 190 cockpit is, it's more like a modern jet fighter cockpit (wo all the glass) than a 1940s gas-powered piston cockpit.
There is a disassembled Ta 152 H-0 in the storage facilities of the National Air and Space Museum in Suitland, Maryland, USA. A bit of a shame that a lot of the German stuff ended up abroad, but historically seen it makes sense (research after capitulations). But: there is a Ta 152 in storage there!
surekha khole Not sure, but my best guess would be preservation of the airframe and financial stuff. It is literally one of a kind. So logically one can’t just ‘put it together’ without the knowledge which might have been lost in 1945. Furthermore I’d have no idea why it is not on display. I would love to actually have it here in Europe.
Those Doras were beautiful planes. Its too bad that so few survived of those few that were made only to be scrapped at the end. Germany was way ahead of it's time.
I notice the Fiesler Storch a few times as you pan past it. I had the opportunity to fly in the Storch owned by the Collings Foundation of Hudson, Massachusetts, USA a few years back. I must confess, i can see why that plane was so valued. It had remarkable handling characteristics! it maneuvered so gently you almost felt like you were floating. Sadly the Foundation is no longer allowed to fly their WWII aircraft due to safety complaints from the surrounding neighborhoods in the wake of their B-17 "Nine-O-Nine" crashing last year, so it's an experience i cherish greatly. a most informative video! the Stuka especially, not too many of those around these days. I'll have to check that museum out if i am ever able to get out to Seattle.
this is one of the coolest museums & collections of warbirds in the world. I had to be dragged out by my co-workers on a company outing visit because I could not stop talking to guys who work there & drooling all over the Dora & E class Bf109. Then I saw the spitfire w it's cowling off & I lost it re: the handhammered , custom brass oil lines for the mrk IV Supermarine that had just been flown that day. a must visit for any warbird enthusiast, this place is a jewel of our modern age. Go.
I would sure love to get there! Many years ago I did get to see the Me 262 when is was still at Chino and the D-13 when it was at the Champlin museum in Mesa.

Awesome video! I've visited the Boeing museum many times, but I never knew they had a section showcasing these types of aircraft. I will have to check it out next time I go. Thank you for sharing. I appreciated your video. Have a great day.
Thank you, Mr. Patrone for the great video. I, for one, have been a great admirer of the Luftwaffe for decades. Particularly during the 30’s and 40’s. One of my favorite aircraft is the Ju-52. Aka, iron Annie. Also, this Scott’s / Irish holds the German people in high regard and respect for their intelligence and innovative thinking. 05:30. Ende.
+ @oldrattler7350 You may have seen the proposal from Junkers AG for a new build Ju-52 series, called the JU-52 NG. It will have the same look and be powered by RED A03-005 diesel V12 engines. It will be interesting if they follow through with building it.
@@oldrattler7350 They seem to be working to retrofit that V12 to older aircraft.

I remember the piano tuner that tuned all the pianos at the store that my mom was manager of. I was home on leave and he was tuning a piano and I just walked by him to see my mom at work. He wheeled around and said to me, "You are in the Military Ya?" I wasn't in uniform, and I said yes. He said ,"I can tell about the way your walked by me. " He introduced himself as a former Major in the Luftwaffe and flew a Stuka equipped with a 30mm cannon. A tank buster. I was amazed. He was very interesting to talk too. He told me that the Russian Tanks were easily attacked from the top of the turret as Javelins are opening them up today.
A lifetime fan of aircraft design I have recently become much more interested in not only the brilliant aeronautical engineering of German WW2 designers, but have read many unbelievable accounts from and of German fighter aces. Just incredible. The FW 190 Dora -9 and versions such beautiful efficient design. The time has come to remember very brave men who for the most part were just doing only their duty to protect their country in a chivaulrous and reasonable way. Regards to the families of these German heros. Bert. NZ
is a ent video! I like the narrator's details on the Junkers Jumo vs Daimler Benz air intakes; I didn't realize they were on opposite sides of the engine. The Fw190 is one of the most handsome aircraft ever built.
Excellent aircraft descriptions. Don't apologize for your English. It is much better than our German language skills I'm sure. Let's all thank Paul Allen for his foresight and investment in restoring these significant so that we may all see them again. Many in flying condition. I wish he had lived to see his dream continue. Thank you for your video and the links.
Paddy, I prefer to hear your accent over that of an Englishman or American because it give a sense of genuine authenticity to your commentary. Who else could give such genuine perspective than a German narrator. Well done my friend! Excellent video!
Yellow 10 is the only one left in civilian hands. Yellow 10 came from Wright Field USAF museum. They had 2. When first purchased by the Champlin family they actually took the wrong set of wings, when the Champlin family returned to Wright, the Air Force had no intention of giving them the correct wings. But after many negotiations the Air Force relented. Beside "Dottie Mae" I think this is the 2nd most important Warbird. In my opinion. The Stuka is cool but, it's not all original. Thanks for the walkaround
+bob dyer There are several Fw-190D-9s in private ownership, but these are wrecks or pending projects. Nothing that is close to flying . Yellow 10 is the ONLY Fw-190D-13 and I am fine that it stays on the ground .
@@FiveCentsPlease Agree. Yello 10 should be preserved. Thats why I fully support the idea of replicas. The pilots life depends on safety. Sure flying is better then collecting dust in a museum, but it has to work out too. Building a new cell and new wings and use an "old" engine to get the structure into the air. That would be the ultimate goal. Maybe use some old parts here and there.
I caught myself drooling over that FW-190 D13...the best looking and most intimidating ww2 fighter aircraft. I understand it's the last of its kind, but I long to see this plane in mock combat chasing down a spitfire. Someone like Kermit Weeks needs to scoop this bird up and change it from a "static" display to an "active" warbird with regular demonstrations.
Would be more then amazing. I would also be totally ok with a rebuild plane. Just put a real Jumo 213 in it and fly. There is no good audio recording of this engine so no one really knows how it sounds. Especially in a high power flyby.
@@palmanbracht9125 The Me-410 is still on display in the UK. But it is no long performing engine runs. Notice the cut propeller tips. At some point it tipped and bent the props, and their solution was to cut the props instead of fixing them as original. It is incomplete internally and will need a restoration in the future. The Smithsonian has another Me-410 in storage.
@@PaddyPatrone There is a Jumo 213 in California that is almost ready for the test stand and certification. (The same engine shop that just finished the Jumo 211.) I do not know if the owner of the Jumo 213 will publish a video of the testing. And this 213 is going into a Flugwerk Fw-190D replica "sometime" in the future.
@@FiveCentsPlease thanks. Do you think is it worthy to, how to say, borrow or take from english guys and restore it to flying conditions? Or its impossible task at all...

This aircraft (Yellow 10) is actually an Fw 190 D-13 and the only one left in the world. There's an excellent book detailing the history of "Yellow 10" written by Jerry Crandall.

You're correct, i was so excited ,as a result i misspelled the right name....loool
Is there not one in the Museum of the US Air force in Dayton Ohio. I remember something about the original wing from this aircraft on their example and the wing from theirs on this aircraft. I believe they swapped wings.
@@richs7362 The Fw190 in Dayton is a D-9. Both aircraft were at this base dis-assembled at one time and when the D-13 was transported to a new destination, the D-9 wings were inadvertently shipped with it. Although the wings appeared to be identical and attached visually, various controls within the wings didn't align properly. Years later, the wings were swapped back to the correct aircrafts.
i read a great interview with the FW-190 designer. He talked about the particular design and feel of the flight controls under full G load, amongst other things. Have u read it before?
Great video. German engineering and manufacturing of WW2 is truly fantastic, regardless of their enemy status. Those planes are truly beautiful even if they were built to wage war and death. The Germans led the world in so many ways, and rockets and jet engines are only two examples.
I admire those technicians quite more, who get those planes back to a flight-ready status.
An excellent look at the highlights of this museum. I hadn't realized that there will be an airworthy Ju-87 soon...extraordinary news.
Awesome news
Grandpa's PTSD intensified
Absolutely fantastic news
The Holly Grail!
Cant wait to hear the Jericho siren too !
I love these vintage war planes. Thank you Paul Allen for your passion with these aircraft. It is an expensive hobby, but worth every penny in my opinion. It makes me cringe to think how many were destroyed, and how few remain after so many were built. These German planes were exceptionally well designed and built under very difficult conditions..
yes say what you want about the Bosh but Kurt Tank penned some lovely planes
Don't worry about the accent - we hear a lot of german in the US. Some of us who live here had relatives come to the states 200+ years ago, and german is still spoken in the house. As we used to say, I'll be critical of your english when my german is as good as your english. Which will be never.
I was driving by Paine Field last summer and there was an air show going on. We pulled into a strip mall on the approach end of the runway and watched for 20 minutes as a B-25, P-51, Hurricane and P-47 flew 150' over the top of us in formation. It was incredible!!
From somebody who lives here, I can highly recommend the museum to anyone who can visit it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to film these treasures.
We, the military history buffs, are indebted to you.
I went to this museum for their Memorial Day show last year. They didn't do any flying, but they did some great shows of some of the armored vehicles. The Luftwaffe exhibit was impressive. They also had a pretty good exhibit of Japanese planes. This museum is well worth the money to see. Your English is much better than my Deutsch sir. I could probably still read the important signs and navigate the Flughafn, Ubahn, und Hauptbahnhof. I could easily order food at a Gasthaus though. That's the brain running on autopilot. Thanks for the great video. I enjoyed the diagram of the air flow through the 190 radial cowling. Well done.
I really enjoyed this. I missed the premier because of life stuff, but I've been excited all day about this video. Great footage, with a lot of detail. The footage of the 801 is just excellent.
Thanks Greg, appreciate it a lot !
Just went to the "Flying Heritage" museum last month.(Feb 2020). Extremely cool!! One thing I thought was really cool was each aircraft had a placard that gave information about the aircraft in general, then gave information about THIS aircraft. SOO great to learn about the aircraft you were seeing right in front of you. Also ,..SOO great to see drip pans under most of the aircraft,... A sign that they were alive and would see the air soon!! Thank You!!
Very well done. The FW 190 has always been my favorite. I have a piece of armored glass from a FW 190 that crashed in Latvia.
I love how you pronounced the German terms so accurately. Thanks for the great cameraman-ship, edit, and excellent narration on all small details!!! I learned so much from this video.
I got super excited when I heard that the 262 had actual Jumo engines, it's incredible that they were able to recreate the engines.
...and how beautiful and imposing that "butcherbird" looks...! Every time I see a picture of a 262 I become almost breathless !
beautifully presented in this video---especially given the excellent German and English pronunciation....meticulously described parts and bulges that fill in voids in other descriptions, plus some very interesting anecdotes about flying these rare survivors. Fun to watch again and again. Love the accuracy and the precise enunciation. This is a treasured video---enjoy the history of the crashes, discoveries and the restoration dates, details and progress. Looking forward to more videos by this presenter!
Great video on the 801, my grandfather earned a mechanics license for working on these at the end of the war.
He ended the war with SG151
großartig. Frieden in der ganzen Welt. Alles Gute für deine Arbeit !! aus Russland mit Liebe!
Lassen Sie einfach die russische Marine diesen Seeleuten beibringen, wie man tanzt, wie sie es tun ... einfach unglaublich.

Excellently well spoken, clear and informative commentary. Thank you sir.
Terrific video! I spent three years in the U.S. Army in Heidelberg, Germany and with the help of some of the German Military Police soldiers I worked with was able to visit several museums. Really excited to see the JU-87 cannon armed Stuka being built. Thanks so much!
+ Craig Finley It won't be a cannon-armed Stuka. That would be awesome. They are building a Ju-87R-4 with the extended range option. The desert colors are because it left the factory in North African colors, but was taken and allocated to the Eastern Front. The restoration was recreating all the layers of paint and when finished it was going to be painted in Eastern Front colors.
Vielen Dank, Herr für diese ausgezeichnete Präsentation. Ihr Englisch ist in Ordnung. Ich bin selbst Ex-Boeing-Flugzeugingenieur. Guten Tag, "der Mikester". Highlands Ranch, CO, USA.
I've been to this museum years ago and seen these aircraft. They're beautifully restored relics . This is just a fraction of aircraft on display there. I highly recommend going there if in Seattle .I build scale models so this place was a reference dream come true. I took dozens of pics.They have aircraft on display outdoors too including a Concorde that you can walk through. An excellent and very well made video. Thanks Paddy and your English is fine.
Do you know how much the admission ticket costs ?
Excellent vid, great warbirds!
Just one little correction: Bf 109E had the hole in the propeller shaft and space for the cannon installation but the cannons were never installed there in combat machines. So Emils had only two cannons in the wings. The first variant with the 20 mm cannon in the propeller shaft was Bf 109F.
Thank you for this. My favorite was always the BF 109G. Years ago I went to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD. At the time they had many tanks, mostly WWII. The Tiger I was being evaluated apparently and not out there. I was all alone climbing on those tanks. But my favorite memory is when I was 16 and on vacation, going through Ohio. We stopped at Wright-Patterson AFB and it was a slow summer morning. My brothers and I went in to the one hanger with WWII planes. No one around! I climbed up onto the Focke Wolf fighter, opened the cowling over the engine, looked at those beautiful 13mm guns and then tried to open the canopy. I got scared and jumped off the plane. That particular plane is still there but much more inaccessible. Werner Molders plane I believe. I lived in Germany for 2 months but never got to see any of the restored 109s, tanks or other WWII things. I want to go back.
The US Government keeps at Wright-Patterson AFB all the crashed or captured UFOs they could lay their hands on since the 1940's ....
The Dora looks so amazing. Hopefully we'll see one flying soon
+Ben There are pending Dora projects but nothing that close to complete. A Flugwerk replica may fly first
This one will never fly unlike most of their planes which do fly. it's just too rare
Two things on my bucket list
1.) See the James Webb telescope. Deployed.
2.) See yellow # 10 take to the sky
@@fredgarv79 Correct,as mentioned by museum staff.
I wish more people were evolved enough to appreciate and respect the engineering, design, and evolution of these important historical artifacts.
Lol, yeah, flying weapons that killed countless people are worthy of much respect.
@Trey Stephens Really? One day you will be an adult. That's something to look forward to. You're welcome.
@Trey Stephens Yawn... Go back to murdering pixels on your PlayStation sonny.
@@omen828 Yup. I built Hundreds of them!
Great video! A few extra tidbits of info about the FHCAM Luftwaffe warbirds: 1) The wheel chocks you see on the Fw190D-13 are Luftwaffe chocks from WWII. 2) The FHCAM chief test pilot is Steve Hinton (who is also the President of Planes of Fame in China, CA, USA) and he was surprised when he first flew the Fw190A-5. He had previously qualified on a Flugwerk replica and was not very impressed, but he found the real Fw190 to be much better in handling and power as well as better build quality. He made these comments at the sneak preview for the Me262. 3) It is my understanding that the MBG is indeed installed in the Fw190D-13 but that they lack the documentation to calibrate it. The Kommandogeraet in the A-5's BMW801 is of course fully functional.
So the MBG is complete? Wonder if there is anyone who could set it up correctly. I think the guys at vintageV12 ae also rebuilding a Jumo213, right? If you guys ever plan to do another engine run with the D-13, please leave me a message. Would be awesome to film this.
@@PaddyPatrone When Doug Champlin had the D-13 restored again several years ago many items were corrected and missing items found. It is my understanding that an MGB was found. But I have not seen any evidence that Vintage V12s actually rebuilt and certified that engine for flight. There was a big rush to finish it for the new owner (Paul Allen) and it was loaded on the truck before there was any chance to do a new engine run for some video. The new restoration also installed brand new wiring and plumbing, and new fuel tanks. The correct wing was exchanged from the USAF Museum and the correct propeller hub was located for the cannon installation. Still missing is the original paddle blade style propeller and a replacement was not manufactured.
So so nice to have narration by someone who actually knows what he is talking about, extremely well spoken English, no need for excuses my friend, bravo!
Can’t wait to see the Stuka! The world has been waiting for a real, airworthy JU-87 for a long time. I just hope I’m still around to see it.
I wonder if they'll ever do mock dive bombing routines at airshows. They also have a working Flak 88 and fire it at their IL-2 Sturmovik during shows. It's super cool
@@nicksiegfried4906 I wanna hear those Jericho trumpets roar
Greetings from Ireland. Glad you made that informative video of those rare and interesting aircraft .hope the collection stays together. Good work. Thank you.
My Dad , Loyd N. Freeman, found the FW-190 D13 in Atlanta , Ga. Loyd began restoration on it and sold it to Doug Champlain.
+freegw1 Very glad that your dad rescued it from an uncertain fate in Atlanta. It nearly ended up in the landfill. I believe that your dad sold it to Dave Kate in California who later sold it to Champlin.
Nicely detailed video! Great for modellers.
Would love to see that Stuka finished!
Keep up the good work and cheers from Holland.
Great history sharing of some of the most unique, interesting German aircraft. Who would have thought they would end up in Seattle of all places ??? Anyways, they seem to be taking really good care of them. Great Job !!! Thanks for sharing.
It's not in Seattle. It's in Everett.
Excellent video and ties in with my recollection from my visit. Another great visit is the tour of the Boeing wide body plant at Payne Field, from where the completed aircraft (747/777/787, etc.) take off for test flights or final delivery to the customer.
I just stumbled onto your channel...and subscribed.
The FW 190, my favorite German WWII fighter. Especially the A series. Thank you on the details on how the tail wheel retracted. Interesting story on the JU 87 pilot.
Thank you again, keep them coming.
thanks, appreciate it!
Your English is fine Thank you for the video . The Landing Gear on the Ju 87 Story Fits . There was a Model made in limited numbers that had a feature that would help the Pilot survive a Water ditching Emergency . They could Jettison the Landing gear . I was amazed when I heard that .
Fascinating. I found myself glued to the screen, almost without realizing it. I'd love to visit America again one day, and just tour around all the museums. It will happen, maybe in the next few years.
@@kentstray1 they have the best aviation museums.
Thanks for posting this.
Great footage especially of the Fw 190 D with the inline engine.
I didn't realise that they have an IL-2 Sturmovik there.
Maybe one day I will visit them.
Brilliant walk-around of the aircraft. Thanks for the teaser at the end showing the larger collection. I was stationed at Fort Lewis in 2005-2006. I regret that I didn’t know about this collection. Thanks for the video. Tschüss
Omg such a cool plane! My favorite since I was 11 years old. I built several airplanes but never got to build one of these!! Well there is still time to do it!! Ty for showing us this
That was truly an exceptional video from both the educational and informative as well as the entertainment value. Paul Allen made a huge contribution to aviation and WWII historical aircraft preservation. We are all sad that such a good man was taken before his time but his legacy lives on through the Heritage Museum and videos such as this. Please keep up the important work and thank you for this fine video. I love the German accent by the way and there is no better person to describe the collection's German heritage aircraft. It was much better than an English speaker stumbling poorly over the pronunciations that you did so well. And thank you for the included links. I watched them all.
Ein ganz tolles Video Patrick! Danke für die Produktion und das Uploaden. Sehr gut. 👍👍
Danke Paddy. My friend in Arizona knows Dave Goss and we went by his shop when he was in Masa when I went out to visit from Ohio. I couldn't believe what I saw as the FW 190D is my best aircraft of all time. I saw her fuselage and her wings off to the side and my jaw dropped to my chest. Ja ein gut und schön tag.
Excellent video of a fantastic collection. I wish, we could see a Fw-190 D9 or D13 in Germany. I would love to see those planes in real life. But one has to give credit to the enormous efforts done by British and US collections to restore those planes even to flightworthy condition in some cases.
A flightworthy Me-262 with Jumo 004 engines would be an amazing feat and a masterpiece in restoration. However, I respect those people not willing to take the risk of flying the last Fw190-D13 or even the Me-262. Although I probably would part with a kidney, just to hear the Jumbo 213 under full supercharger pressure with MW50 active - or even hear a pair of Jumo 004's in flight.
I heard that some years ago that somewhere in the Seattle area there's a company that has built brand new ME-262's for sale to whomever would want and afford one. It still looks like a vintage ME-262 but has modern engines and equipment installed where it can be used. Each aircraft was well into the two plus million dollar price tag (as I remember) it just depended what kind of navigation and com equipment you wanted and the assorted ground equipment one would need to get this plane off the ground.
I believe that P-51 Mustang's brand new from the ground up are also available if you're pockets are deep enough. So almost anything is probably possible and would be limited ONLY by your imagination and your pocket book...
Great video. The ME-109E variant had only two 20mm ff canon in the wings. The motor kanone was removed as it suffered overheating issues. The port in the propeller boss was for cooling.
Was that the case on that exact aircraft ?
@@PaddyPatrone Yes, this is true for all E variants. The short nose combined with the DB-601 A or N did not leave enough room to fit a cannon behind the engine.
With the new F variant, the nose was lengthened for aerodynamic reasons (and to accomodate the slightly bigger DB-601 E), which allowed for the installation of a cannon behind the engine, starting with F-2 (15mm) and F-4 (20mm).
@@PaddyPatrone Yes, I am a docent at FHCAM and our Bf109 does not have a cannon installed in the nose. It is just an empty tube.
@@lateempire5378 Thanks for your input! Guess the FHC website needs an update ;) flyingheritage.org/Explore/The-Collection/Germany/Messerschmitt-Bf-109-E-3-(Emil).aspx
@@PaddyPatrone It's a common mistake as it looks like it should have one, but in fact doesn't.
Excellent video . Looks like you got some great access to these rare aircraft . Seeing and hearing them fly is something else .Dien Englisch ist sehr gut. Vielen dank.
These guys (& gals) who restore these old war birds do beautiful work to say the least. My late father had a good friend, now also deceased, who was on the board of directors of the Lone Star Flight Museum when it was still in Galveston Texas before Hurricane Ike severely damaged it. He took me, my dad & brother on a tour of the machine shop which is closed to the general public. That was a treat. I wish I could afford to see more of these museums.
Thank you for the excellent tour!! I haven't been but its definitely on my to do list!! I want to see these in action! Nice job keep up the great work!!
thanks!
I visited the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum last week and it was well worth the trip from Portland, OR. I wish I had come across this video before my visit as it would have added to my visit! Thanks for the video!
My I say what a super
Professional talk though all of the aircraft and there history. Well done Sir 👍🥇
Excellent presentation. The narrative covering the service histories of the aircraft really added interesting backstories.
Never seen one fly since 1945, it's extremely rare.
An extraordinary museum un all respects, second to none. I truly hope this treasure is soon back in operation with it’s talented staff.
Beautiful video, beautiful (!) Flugzeuge, beautiful English!!
Nice video. I'm in Seattle and have been to FHC dozens of times. I took a warbird maintenance class their a few years back and we got to do all kinds of fun stuff. But one thing that's always stuck with me is how awesome the fw 190 cockpit is, it's more like a modern jet fighter cockpit (wo all the glass) than a 1940s gas-powered piston cockpit.
Sehr schönes Video! 👍🏻
This is a standout video -- great content video and script -- and pleasant, authoritative voice. Well done, and thank you.
Great English my friend. My all time favorite plane !!!!
FW190D is one of Kurt Tank's finest and deserves to be flown. Great vid thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
I would love to see flying a ta152h1 but at least it does in my dreams :)
I wonder if thay still exists
Probably not
There is a disassembled Ta 152 H-0 in the storage facilities of the National Air and Space Museum in Suitland, Maryland, USA. A bit of a shame that a lot of the German stuff ended up abroad, but historically seen it makes sense (research after capitulations). But: there is a Ta 152 in storage there!
@@GerdJanvdG how is that possible there must be so many fans wanting to see it
surekha khole Not sure, but my best guess would be preservation of the airframe and financial stuff. It is literally one of a kind. So logically one can’t just ‘put it together’ without the knowledge which might have been lost in 1945. Furthermore I’d have no idea why it is not on display. I would love to actually have it here in Europe.
I feel so fortunate to live here at Washington state every summer I always visit the Heritage museum for the aircraft and the tanks shows.
Sad that the museum is closed forever and all the collection is being shipped out
Those Doras were beautiful planes. Its too bad that so few survived of those few that were made only to be scrapped at the end. Germany was way ahead of it's time.
Enjoyed this very much! My father was a military aircraft mechanic. Brought back good memories for me.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! IT'S VERY GOOD VIDEO!! СПАСИБО ВАМ БОЛЬШОЕ!!!
The quality of those castings and machined parts is second to none!
I hope I can visit this Museum at some point to see that A-5 in person. Your footage is beautiful. Thanks for posting.
I notice the Fiesler Storch a few times as you pan past it. I had the opportunity to fly in the Storch owned by the Collings Foundation of Hudson, Massachusetts, USA a few years back. I must confess, i can see why that plane was so valued. It had remarkable handling characteristics! it maneuvered so gently you almost felt like you were floating.
Sadly the Foundation is no longer allowed to fly their WWII aircraft due to safety complaints from the surrounding neighborhoods in the wake of their B-17 "Nine-O-Nine" crashing last year, so it's an experience i cherish greatly.
a most informative video! the Stuka especially, not too many of those around these days. I'll have to check that museum out if i am ever able to get out to Seattle.
absolutely amazing !!!
this is one of the coolest museums & collections of warbirds in the world. I had to be dragged out by my co-workers on a company outing visit because I could not stop talking to guys who work there & drooling all over the Dora & E class Bf109. Then I saw the spitfire w it's cowling off & I lost it re: the handhammered , custom brass oil lines for the mrk IV Supermarine that had just been flown that day.
a must visit for any warbird enthusiast, this place is a jewel of our modern age. Go.
Wow! That's great!
I would sure love to get there! Many years ago I did get to see the Me 262 when is was still at Chino and the D-13 when it was at the Champlin museum in Mesa.

I remember the piano tuner that tuned all the pianos at the store that my mom was manager of. I was home on leave and he was tuning a piano and I just walked by him to see my mom at work. He wheeled around and said to me, "You are in the Military Ya?" I wasn't in uniform, and I said yes. He said ,"I can tell about the way your walked by me. " He introduced himself as a former Major in the Luftwaffe and flew a Stuka equipped with a 30mm cannon. A tank buster. I was amazed. He was very interesting to talk too. He told me that the Russian Tanks were easily attacked from the top of the turret as Javelins are opening them up today.
Excellent video and thank you for posting it! It will be something to see any or all of these aircraft flying in the future!
Very nice video. Well put together and easily watchable again. Thank you.

Always a pleasure listening to a German talking about German engineering. Great video. Dänke Kamaraden!
A lifetime fan of aircraft design I have recently become much more interested in not only the brilliant aeronautical engineering of German WW2 designers, but have read many unbelievable accounts from and of German fighter aces. Just incredible. The FW 190 Dora -9 and versions such beautiful efficient design. The time has come to remember very brave men who for the most part were just doing only their duty to protect their country in a chivaulrous and reasonable way. Regards to the families of these German heros. Bert. NZ
Beautiful restoration of old war birds of WWII. Thank you for this video.
is a ent video! I like the narrator's details on the Junkers Jumo vs Daimler Benz air intakes; I didn't realize they were on opposite sides of the engine. The Fw190 is one of the most handsome aircraft ever built.
I live outside Seattle. I did not know of this museum. I will now be visiting, thank you.
I enjoyed the video and I learned 2 things about the slow speed flight characteristics.
You have a new subscriber.
Take care.
Excellent aircraft descriptions. Don't apologize for your English. It is much better than our German language skills I'm sure. Let's all thank Paul Allen for his foresight and investment in restoring these significant so that we may all see them again. Many in flying condition. I wish he had lived to see his dream continue. Thank you for your video and the links.
Very professional. The video, audio, presentation are well done and the research is superb. Sounds like I need to visit the museum. Thanks!
I was there last August, and the collection is stunning. I am looking forward to when they finish the restoration of their Stuka.
Excellent video; great camera work and your English is very good!! Thanks!!
What a collection ! And the work of restauration is amazing.
Paddy, I prefer to hear your accent over that of an Englishman or American because it give a sense of genuine authenticity to your commentary. Who else could give such genuine perspective than a German narrator. Well done my friend! Excellent video!
Amazing! I remember collecting "Profiles" on WW2 aircraft, most all I could have imagined coming alive in the Internet age. Thank you all.
As said below: Gold Standard-Video... great job!
wow!!! very cool & rare machines, thank you for making & sharing this video.
Yellow 10 is the only one left in civilian hands. Yellow 10 came from Wright Field USAF museum. They had 2. When first purchased by the Champlin family they actually took the wrong set of wings, when the Champlin family returned to Wright, the Air Force had no intention of giving them the correct wings. But after many negotiations the Air Force relented. Beside "Dottie Mae" I think this is the 2nd most important Warbird. In my opinion. The Stuka is cool but, it's not all original. Thanks for the walkaround
+bob dyer There are several Fw-190D-9s in private ownership, but these are wrecks or pending projects. Nothing that is close to flying . Yellow 10 is the ONLY Fw-190D-13 and I am fine that it stays on the ground .
@@FiveCentsPlease Agree. Yello 10 should be preserved. Thats why I fully support the idea of replicas. The pilots life depends on safety. Sure flying is better then collecting dust in a museum, but it has to work out too. Building a new cell and new wings and use an "old" engine to get the structure into the air. That would be the ultimate goal. Maybe use some old parts here and there.
@@FiveCentsPlease Great addition to the conversation, thanks for adding.
I caught myself drooling over that FW-190 D13...the best looking and most intimidating ww2 fighter aircraft. I understand it's the last of its kind, but I long to see this plane in mock combat chasing down a spitfire. Someone like Kermit Weeks needs to scoop this bird up and change it from a "static" display to an "active" warbird with regular demonstrations.
Would be more then amazing. I would also be totally ok with a rebuild plane. Just put a real Jumo 213 in it and fly. There is no good audio recording of this engine so no one really knows how it sounds. Especially in a high power flyby.
@@PaddyPatrone can you investigate what happens with this plane
ua-cam.com/video/jAcgUPjb16Q/v-deo.html
@@palmanbracht9125 The Me-410 is still on display in the UK. But it is no long performing engine runs. Notice the cut propeller tips. At some point it tipped and bent the props, and their solution was to cut the props instead of fixing them as original. It is incomplete internally and will need a restoration in the future. The Smithsonian has another Me-410 in storage.
@@PaddyPatrone There is a Jumo 213 in California that is almost ready for the test stand and certification. (The same engine shop that just finished the Jumo 211.) I do not know if the owner of the Jumo 213 will publish a video of the testing. And this 213 is going into a Flugwerk Fw-190D replica "sometime" in the future.
