The former collection owned by the late Paul Allen owned and maintains the only flying original Focke-Wulf 190 in the world at this time. Though several are under restoration, this unique Fw-190 was recovered from an overgrown forest in the 1990's and became airworthy only a few years ago. The 190 is flown before crowds thanks to the late Paul Allen.

i like how the swastika is not removed nor censored nor blurred, historical items like this should not be tampered with

The FW-190 is one of the finest looking fighter aircraft of all time. The roar of this engine is fantastic.

So wild to see an Fw 190 flying with an Il-2 in the 21st century!

Thank you Paul Allen. A true gift for all of us.

Curt Tank’s engineering , being his first complete design attempt ( jump & kick me if that’s incorrect) is really impressive. The design is utilitarian, but weirdly futuristic at the same time. One of my favorites!!

Gosh that’s beautiful. One of my favourite aircraft. Flying one in a simulator, with 151 20mm cannons, you have a highly agile, responsive, and destructive platform, that once gets up to speed, is a very difficult target, and retains targeting ability when other aircraft would become sluggish in response. The growl of that engine is unbelievable beautiful. Please never let this piece of history fall into forgotten places.

I used to live right near Paine Field and let me tell you, I could sit in my yard and watch the flying heritage planes circle around as they were preparing to make another pass over the airport for the air show. It's quite amazing, and I'll tell you just the noise from one of those things is pretty loud. Can you imagine seeing a dozen or more overhead? I always wanted to thank Paul Allen for his contribution to history and tell him how much I admired his collection.

This would bring a tear to WWII aces like Adolf Galland, Gunther Rall, Erich Hartmann to see this bird so beautifully preserved.

What a rare rare treat to see and hear this super super rare WWII plane fly again. Great piloting and restoration team!

An amazing aircraft and era of planes. Not sure why but the engines from those planes always send chills up your back.

I am fortunate to be too young to have seen these planes in anger in wartime but watching them today I appreciate them very much,the pride and the engineering and bravery too.And I refer to all sides in the conflict.Im glad watching these with fascination now rather than in fear of what they could do back then.....
