This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Does the Collings Foundation have a FW190 D-9 which is the long nosed version under restoration somewhere in the US? Will this aircraft be as close to original as possible including powerplant? Will it be a flyer at some point, and will it be the only one in the world in flying condition when completed? Thanks in advance.

Per earlier discussions in another topic, The Collings Foundation purchased the White 1 Foundation's F-8 and the new D-9 project (which is a Flugwerk D-9 conversion along with an original data plate and two rough-looking Jumo 213s) I'm aware of three potential Jumo powered fliers worldwide, but nothing remotely close to flying at this point.

What about the Dora replica with an Allison engine? Is that going ahead?
