That aircraft is a new built Flugwerk reproduction A-8N, it does not have the original BMW but the Russian Ash (made in china) instead. It is owned and operated by Rudy Frasca, who operates several other warbirds, beautiful machine.

There is only one original flying Fw-190 (an A-5) owned by the Flying Heritage Collection, and that aircraft is a restoration with the original BMW engine, it's a beaut and insanely rare.

There is one more original FW-190 and BMW 801 under restoration, White 1, an F-8 model, by the White One Foundation.

It's become kind of my hobby keeping track of some these planes
