FW-190 crash

[Tempest123]

Its my understanding that the airframe is nearly identical to an A8, just with a different engine, modern instruments, and an absence of mounted guns. It's basically a new build Fw-190, some aircraft even use several original parts, sort of like the new built Me-262's a few years ago. I wish we could have a real dogfight/flight test and finally sort out the Fw-190 debate in Il2.

It would be interesting to see the cost of this recovery and restoration versus buying a new Flugwerk 190 replacement. As I recall, a brand new aircraft was in the $500K to $600K range.

Just whip out your wallet, and contact some of your favorite squids, and call me, so we can just got fetch it.

Finders keepers, and possession is 9 10th's of the law right.

I have a friend that owns a P51 mustang in Houston. Its a bit morbid, but he cheers everytime one crashes as it increases the value of 'his' P-51 by $100,000.
