Same thing apparently happened to it at the very same location 10 years ago.

Hadn't seen...so very sad for Dan Kirkland.

My attempt at a silver lining...

1) Prop blades appear wooden, so hopefully the hurt to the powerplant is minimal.

2) Before TJ's initial post, I had not assumed ASN's database would include wartime aircraft losses. The link for the FW190 even includes Turkish A-3 losses in the 1940s! I'm impressed!

DAMMITSOMUCH! :(

It looks like there was an issue with the gear, so he left it retracted and bellied it in. The 190 is a REALLY tough design so my hope is that it won't be too difficult to get her back in the air- all it takes is money, right? And yes, those are - uh, were - wooden prop blades.

That's easily the most "correct" 190 scheme flying right now, and yes, I'm including the all-original FHC Fw 190A-5 in there... I'll let Mark Sheppard explain why, LOL. For those wondering, this aircraft's paint scheme almost perfectly replicates the Fw 190A-8 of Maj. Josef "Pips" Priller, Kommandeur of JG 26, who was one of only two Luftwaffe pilots to make it over the invasion beaches on 6 June 44. (He didn't hang around, LOL)

Plane looks small as compared with the people. Is this a full scale 190?

Maybe it's a camera effect.....

Here's to that flying again, soon!

I guess the P-51 ground "kill" over in Houston also got missed?

The Focke-Wulf FW190A-5 sustained substantial damage when it veered off the runway and suffered a landing gear collapse and prop strike.

I thought the same thing, looks like the vans shadow almost reaches the aircraft so its not that far from them.

Most WW II fighter aircraft look small compared to the P-47. Just sayin'...
