...simply begs for the Fighter Factory staff to cut a clearing in those woods just large enough to park a Butcher bird. Alarmstart anyone? :wink:

Matthias,
I take it that you were the pilot of the Fw this past weekend at Warbirds Over the Beach?if so, what a superb job you did letting the airplane show herself off. Hope you come back next year and fly her again, or maybe a different product of yours!!

I am sorry, but I am not a pilot (*sigh) I am only the webmaster of MeierMotors, a warbirdfreak, a warbirdphotographer.... and so on

The pilot who flew the Fw190 at "Warbirds over the beach" was the most experienced Focke Wulf pilot in Europe, the french Marc "Leon" Mathis. He and the MeierMotors team was invited by Jerry Yagen.

....... me in the Focke Wulf .... a dream would come true

Matthias, let me tell you... Marc tore up that field something fierce this weekend, it was absolutely breathtaking to watch him hammer that Focke Wulf around as though it were an Extra 300. He is truly a master, and I was enthralled with every second of his performance. And I must say, the attention paid to the paint scheme has paid off incredibly handsomely... at times, I literally had to remind myself that I had not gone back in time. Thanks to the entire Meier Motors team but particular to Marc Mathis for his incredible displays this weekend!

I'd say judging by this video from the event, it is just a tad bit over-powered?

When I saw the first pics pop up on Flickr from this event, I thought it was really cool that Marc Mathis came over to fly it for the event, obviously the highest-time Flugwerk 190 pilot.

I saw that super cool devil low pass... just as described ;-)

Then was lucky to get airborn in a T-6 at the very end of the airshow and Marc Mathis joined up on us for a quicl air to air photo session. The master was where Ineeded him to be. Just point your finger and he will position himself at the tip of it !
