FW-190 first flight (after +10 years of restauration)

[badfinger]

What intrigued me was that second seat. Living in Houston, Baton Rouge wouldn't be a long drive, if i could buy a ride in a FW-190.

There is no second seat. The headrest you see in the begining of the vid is the pilots rear armour that is attached to the canopy. It slides back with the canopy.

Do folks out there really think the spitfires and 109's are equal in CloD? Have you actually flown both planes?

The 109 is certainly more deadly than the spitfire in any hands. Remove pilot skill from your equation.

There is definitely a reason I fly 109's instead of spitfires in CLOD even though I like spitfires more, and its because I will net more kills in a 109, pure and simple. And this is coming from someone who generally likes to turn fight in other sims.

Uhm, you know that this thread is about the flight of a FW190A8 after about 68 years?

I was going to say that as well, but this has gone the way of most threads on the Banana, downhill fast.

As for the 190, beautiful (from an RAF Flyer)

And that's in a nutshell why I have zero interest in air quake online anymore.

No disrespect meant.

Are you saying killing your enemy is not important in a more realistic mode? Killing enemies doesn't mean your failing mission objectives - in fact its quite helpful.
