When I was a kid in the sixties my Dad was in the military and we were stationed in Europe for a couple of years. A good friend of ours was a German Officer who flew a Fw190 during the war. One day my brother and I were dog-fighting with our model planes. When he saw us he walk up saying "no,no,no" and proceeded for the next 30 minutes to instruct us in the proper way to shoot down another aircraft. I wish he could have seen this restoration flying.
Haha what a fantastic story. I wish id had similar experience but i used to get hourly talks from our neighbour who we called 'boring' Ken. He worked for the gas company and would go on for hours about his job , i used to make a quick exit when he came over because he was the most boring man alive.
When I was a kid in the 1960s I went over my friend's house from school. He was a tall, blonde young boy and his father he said flew Me 109s and I saw that he had an eye patch.
Absolutely fantastic to see a FW190 back in the sky, always loved WW2 era German aircraft, the FW's and ME109's are especially my favourites, nice to see these warbirds flying as friends and not enemies! Keep up the good work guys!
@@ertwanderyep, because somehow BMW does not remember that they actually did build engines in ww2 and did not help putting an 801 together... so they went with the Russian engine
When the FW 190 first made it's appearance a new poster was produced by the British War Ministry. It featured an FW 190 with the caption, " Who's afraid of the big bad Wulf ? " At one Bomber Command station, a wag added " Sign here " on the poster. The whole bomber squadron signed it. 'Nuff said. Flugwerk did an amazing job on this build !
It didn't matter what the aircraft was in conflict of war it was the pilots who flew them. The Aces are the ones who knew how to fly the machine they had at the time and made improvements through the war.
If that old story is true it was the USAAF as I heard ,the poster was from Boeing or Consolidated . RAF makes no sense as they flew by night and would not have met the 190. The Americans did come up against the FW during their daylight raids and had every reason to be afraid of it.
It’s my favorite playing to watch being shot down by Robert S Johnson or Francis Gabreski on WWII Gun camera films. Good riddance to Nazism and racism. The master race got blasted into history, thank God and the allies
The engines of these magnificent flying machines just sounds so incredible! Even though these are flying replicas, they still looked and sound fantastic!
@@DenKHK pretty sure this one uses a Chinese built version of the Shvetzov Ash, which (I think) is itself an improved copy of the Wright Cyclone. If you look closely at the engine cowling, it doesn’t blend quite as smoothly with the front fuselage section mounting the guns. Still gorgeous though!
@@kneeslider47 Aren't all the motors of all of the replica FW190's of the Flugwerk manufacturing from Russia? From a Russian copy of the original BMW engine of the FW190?
@@manuelespanol4560 This is important to people like us but it needs to be kept in proportion. If you want to learn the lessons of WWII, read about them. This is a luxury for people like us who happen to like warbirds.

190 A = fighter.... 190A4 was a spitfire (Mark V?) killer The 190 Dora was an interceptor, and "boom and zoom fighter" Beyond D are the extreme interceptors, no fighter qualities
Gotta admit the FW190 was a marvel of engineering prowess for it's time, I never realised how small it was until seeing it in profile next to the Spitfire (must've been like trying to shoot down a fly), I can see now why it's appearance caused consternation amongst the allied air forces.
@@MrRugbylane I think that it is because of armoring. The plane was also designed for ground attack (a fighter-bomber). Wing loading is much higher on the Fw than on the spitfire, so it was less maneuverable. The Angle of attack (basically how much you can deviate your nose from your flight path) was much higher on the Spitfire. However the Fw was very fast in a dive, hence the boom and zoom tactics of the Luftwaffe, if caught in a turn fight with a spitfire, the plane would loose. It is interesting the design choices, that went into each plane. British seemed to make their own version of a fighter bomber with the Tempest, which also is a pretty cool plane.
The swastika is illegal in Germany and has been for decades. The exception is for approved displays or educational purposes. Obviously this plane didn't qualify for an exemption (or perhaps the owners simply didn't want a full swastika).
Very soon, only those that have taken their "medicine" and can afford the expense due to climate laws will be allowed to travel. The rest of the people will never be allowed to venture around again.
@@thomast8539 Yep, in Australia they have done just that. In Melbourne going to the shops with out a vaccine certificate is a no go and your turned away. No say no choice.
Best fighter aviation channel. The jewels are rare and very well preserved. Each one better than the other. This FW 190 will truly be unforgettable. congratulations from Brazil
Grandfather Paul worked on these after stepping away from Stuka rear gunner duties (vertigo). Still have his BMW801 engine repair license from training school in Munich 1945. The war would be over in a few months. He loved the JU87 and FW190.
I have seen a restorated FW190 in a Museum in Hannover many Years ago. I was faszinated by the Handcraftship and the Details that created this Plane . All this Warburds of the Nationes ,who foght in WW2 were masterpieces af Engineering .
Robert S Johnson shot down about a dozen of them in his thunderbolt, and that’s great! To hell with the Nazis! It’s a pretty airplane though, I noticed it smokes a little bit, don’t know why?
Just an allround great plane. Aesthetic, functional, performant and multi role. Arguably the epitome of the WW2 radial engine fighter plane. And the D9 variant is probably the most beautiful and elegant propeller fighter plane ever.
wait, am I missing something....I was expecting a Dora 9-----this one looks like it's a radial, not a D-9?.....Doesn't matter it's still an excellent video, extremely well done and the flying is brilliant in both A/C
@@Sugar_K Yes i know that. THe D9 is baiscally a different aircraft built on a heavily modified FW 190 frame. I was just saying that the D9 is even more aesthetic than the regular FW 190 which we see here.
One of the things that made WWii such an amazing topic of study was the cutting edge ahead of it's time technology were the incredible flying machines flown by both the Germans and Allies. Each side competing for that little edge to gain advantage and then the Germans finally introduced the ME-262 right near the end of the war. Incredible to see them all here on display and still flying still amazes when you think this was 80 + years ago when these planes were put into battle over the skies in Europe.
Flown here by Klaus Plasa, who is the German equivalent of our Steve Hinton. Would love to see a balls-out dogfight between those fabulous WW2 warbird pilots. Hinton is fond of the F4U Corsair, which is as fast as the P-51. Plasa has done some darn good flying in the BF109G, so might choose that.
Tolles Video von 2019. Immer wieder schön Klaus Plasa "at the controls" in der Fw 190 zu sehen. Und natürlich auch Rob Davies in der Spitfire. Zwei absolute Könner. Danke für's Hochladen.:)
Interesting to hear what such a threat to the allied aircraft during the war, sounded like. Bit of a spitfire, in it's own way. Was taken to the Battle of Britain museum by my late father, at Biggin Hill when I was about three. That would be 1958. Think I recall seeing one among the amazing collection of types.
+@mothmagic1 Probably not until the late 1950s and early 1960s. Some early pioneers got them for air racing in the late 1940s, and bombers were bought for air mapping and water bombers. David Lindsey founded Cavalier Aircraft and converted surplus P-51s into executive sport planes. Some owners tried to profit and sell them to third-world nations during conflicts, and got into trouble for that. By the 1980s collectors began to see the value in them and started more serious restorations, and the prices for them started to climb. I think the problem of inexperienced pilots getting killed in them is mostly being addressed with better training. It's easier to make parts for them today, except they are running out of engine parts. Cost of ownership, insurance, and fuel changes may put most of them on the ground permanently.
At Headquarters Giebelstadt Germany I had a coversation with an aeronatical engineer that told me he was involved in restoring a ME-109-D, maybe I can find that aircraft's flight. Congratlations on this effort!
+ Dennis Peltier Do you mean a Fw-190D? There is only one Fw-190D in Germany that is a static rebuild at the Luftwaffe Museum, Gatow. It was raised from a lake but deteriorated badly while left in storage. There were two other Dora projects in all of Europe plus a pile of parts from a third. I think two of those are now in the US as projects and the last project is moving very slow.
@@FiveCentsPlease The engineer said it was a Messerschmitt. It was back in 84. I never gave it another thought until I saw this video, just hoping. Thanks for the clarification and insight.
It's just incredible that there are now flying WW2 combat aircraft that were only in museums before. None are from the untouchable museum planes, but built from crashed hulks found in the swamps of Russia, the jungles of the Pacific, and the lakes and seas. The return of the DH Mosquito is the pinnacle of this effort.
@@dunbar555 : It's a little too late....and a symbol, or the abolishment of a symbol, isn't going to change facts. But it certainly can influence ideology. Where was "German Law" when it came to persecution of Jews? Where was "German Law" when Germany invaded and created two world wars? When was "German Law" significant when over 60 million lives were lost during WWII? We might agree but I don't give a damn about "German Law". They are attempting to rewrite history and you are giving their excuse.
@@tempestfury8324 you are preaching to the choir. I agree with you. That’s why I said it was a shame, but didn’t want to blame the planes owner for it, so I said i understood why their plane was painted in such way
@@dunbar555 Well you can understand it and don't blame the owner but I still say it's bullshit. Is this plane and owner in Germany? Was this an airshow in Germany? If so, whatever. Here in the United States we like to see that swastika so we know who to kill. Just saying.
Thanks for the video. I had to look up Usedom myself as a longtime Duxford visitor and I'll definitely have to go there once traveling is once again less annoying.
Love the tow-bot. Its unique. Man, the FW sounds sweet. Cool dog fights. Was the Messerschmitt, Focke Wulf and Junkers assembly plants close to each other? Did the aircraft share components, or was there competition?...Cool videos!
Glorious birds and the sound is amazing. I just wish the Hackenkreuz was fully painted, give the planes the historic respect deserved. You don't see people covering the Rising Sun or Hammer and Sickle? Those days are long gone..
+ Pat Rav Here is a realistic picture: Fw-190D-9 yes- there are several slow projects and replicas. Look for a replica to fly first, probably with an Allison V12. Ta-152 - never because only one example survives Do-335 - nope Ju-87 - Not many survivors to work with but Paul Allen's museum was building a flyable one. His death/estate has put the work on hold. There is a also a static rebuild of another one. Bf-109K - a couple of projects but I don't think they will fly Ju-88 - there are several projects, but Paul Allen's museum was the only organization with money to fly one and they had a wreck. He-219 - Unlikely. There is one survivor and another one that's just a pile of goo pulled out of saltwater.
My grandfather was a member of the "Tross" der Wehrmacht (Reinforcement troops, mainly equipped with horses and wagons) at the eastern front. Apart from all the unbelievable, horrible and ghastly legacies he must have seen on the way as a following soldier - apart from all this he told me one occurrence that came immediately back into my mind when I first saw this video. As they were close to cross a river, they got the order to stop and not cross the bridge due to heavy counterattacks on the German bridgehead at the other side of the river by Russian troops. They should prepare for an orderly retreat "geordneten Rückzug". Then, so he told me, they suddenly got a heavy fright from 2 Messerschmidt Bf-109, suddenly appearing from nowhere and racing in low altitude along their heads in the direction of the disputed area ..... Never in my entire life I got a similar fright before, he said. After some time both Messerschmitt came back.... again at low altitude. This time they gave salut by waving the wings from the left to right, left to the right, left to the right ..... the complete company was honoring their support and maybe the rescue of their lives by shouting and rising their hands up high in the air. It must be something like this here that he never has forgotten and he was like back in the scene when he was telling this happening. May good bless all souls... of all nations.... all soldiers .... all civil victims ... of all humans who have lost their lives during a war. We are all one.... let's get started to live after this creed.
Your grandfather and his comrades, your country, fought for the sake of western civilization on a fratricidal war that was the result of machinations of despicable warmongers and traitors in London, Washington, New York and Moscow. Hold your head high every time you remember him and and keep in mind the fact that there are people, specially outside the "anglosphere" who do not believe in the official, "kosher" narrative about the second world war. Cheers from Brasil.

Screw "the law".... who's law? It's shameful we cannot have original markings. This is exactly how history gets re-written.
@@tempestfury8324 German law. I agree with you it’s lame, but the owner of the planes can’t do otherwise
@@dunbar555 : It's a little too late....and a symbol, or the abolishment of a symbol, isn't going to change facts. But it certainly can influence ideology.
Where was "German Law" when it came to persecution of Jews? Where was "German Law" when Germany invaded and created two world wars? When was "German Law" significant when over 60 million lives were lost during WWII?
We might agree but I don't give a damn about "German Law".
They are attempting to rewrite history and you are giving their excuse.
@@tempestfury8324 you are preaching to the choir. I agree with you. That’s why I said it was a shame, but didn’t want to blame the planes owner for it, so I said i understood why their plane was painted in such way
@@dunbar555 Well you can understand it and don't blame the owner but I still say it's bullshit.
Is this plane and owner in Germany? Was this an airshow in Germany? If so, whatever.
Here in the United States we like to see that swastika so we know who to kill. Just saying.
So rare to see This plane!
Beautiful vidéo, thanks a lot!
Thanks watching
Thanks for the video. I had to look up Usedom myself as a longtime Duxford visitor and I'll definitely have to go there once traveling is once again less annoying.
Yes if this changes sometime
Hammer, die 190 jagt die Spitfire!
Schön, dass er Dir gefällt
What a magnificent aircraft and that sound is amazing.
I love it
Love the tow-bot. Its unique. Man, the FW sounds sweet. Cool dog fights. Was the Messerschmitt, Focke Wulf and Junkers assembly plants close to each other? Did the aircraft share components, or was there competition?...Cool videos!
Thanks watching. No the plants were elsewhere
@@Warbirds Ok, thanks gents.
You mean the sound of the Shetsov Ash 82 engine which this replica was built with
@@chrissimmonds3734 Factories.
@@chrissimmonds3734 Yes.
Glorious birds and the sound is amazing. I just wish the Hackenkreuz was fully painted, give the planes the historic respect deserved. You don't see people covering the Rising Sun or Hammer and Sickle? Those days are long gone..
it's against the law and a criminal offense to show the swastika in Germany.
Das ist Musik!!!!
Awsome, now we need a Fw D9 , Fw Ta152, Do335, Ju87, Ju88, Me 109K4, He 219 UhU and much moore up in the air . :)
yes thats all we need
He 219 Uhu
+ Pat Rav
Here is a realistic picture:
Fw-190D-9 yes- there are several slow projects and replicas. Look for a replica to fly first, probably with an Allison V12.
Ta-152 - never because only one example survives
Do-335 - nope
Ju-87 - Not many survivors to work with but Paul Allen's museum was building a flyable one. His death/estate has put the work on hold. There is a also a static rebuild of another one.
Bf-109K - a couple of projects but I don't think they will fly
Ju-88 - there are several projects, but Paul Allen's museum was the only organization with money to fly one and they had a wreck.
He-219 - Unlikely. There is one survivor and another one that's just a pile of goo pulled out of saltwater.
@@FiveCentsPlease Thank you for the information. The truth is always Hard.😕
Beautiful piece of machinery.
Das waren noch Maschinen ❤❤❤❤
My grandfather was a member of the "Tross" der Wehrmacht (Reinforcement troops, mainly equipped with horses and wagons) at the eastern front. Apart from all the unbelievable, horrible and ghastly legacies he must have seen on the way as a following soldier - apart from all this he told me one occurrence that came immediately back into my mind when I first saw this video. As they were close to cross a river, they got the order to stop and not cross the bridge due to heavy counterattacks on the German bridgehead at the other side of the river by Russian troops. They should prepare for an orderly retreat "geordneten Rückzug". Then, so he told me, they suddenly got a heavy fright from 2 Messerschmidt Bf-109, suddenly appearing from nowhere and racing in low altitude along their heads in the direction of the disputed area ..... Never in my entire life I got a similar fright before, he said. After some time both Messerschmitt came back.... again at low altitude. This time they gave salut by waving the wings from the left to right, left to the right, left to the right ..... the complete company was honoring their support and maybe the rescue of their lives by shouting and rising their hands up high in the air. It must be something like this here that he never has forgotten and he was like back in the scene when he was telling this happening. May good bless all souls... of all nations.... all soldiers .... all civil victims ... of all humans who have lost their lives during a war. We are all one.... let's get started to live after this creed.
Thanks for the story goosebumps
Your grandfather and his comrades, your country, fought for the sake of western civilization on a fratricidal war that was the result of machinations of despicable warmongers and traitors in London, Washington, New York and Moscow. Hold your head high every time you remember him and and keep in mind the fact that there are people, specially outside the "anglosphere" who do not believe in the official, "kosher" narrative about the second world war.
Cheers from Brasil.
Beautiful display. Didn't realise how big the 190 canopy was compared to the 109. Much more comfortable!
Thanks watching
Amazing to see back in the air where it belongs.
Historical artwork ? Beast of an engine ! 🤗
