FW 190 arrives at FHC

[FUNFLYER]

Just drove by the FHC and they were unloading her off of the trucks to start reassembly. Did not have my camera with me so You will have to wait until Saturday for pic's. Rad

FHC has been posting pictures throughout the day on their Facebook page of the Fw-190 being reassembled.

The last pic I saw showed them sliding the wing under the fuselage...

TOO COOL!!!! Pretty soon I'll be hearing the sounds of a BMW 801

It is on its gear now.

Looks wonderful, is it me or does it look like possibly the paint is starting to fade a bit from the lime green look. Anyway it looks great and bravo Paul Allen and the FHC folks for allowing the warbird community a very rare experience of a real airworthy FW190. Now where are the bf110 and stuka hiding I've been hearing about?

[The Inspector]

An E Mail sent to KING TV in Seattle and their reply was that 'we're there' so footage should be on KING TV 5 (and possibly later on NWCN) @ 1700 PST today.

Here is a nice story the local news (KING5) channel did on the 190 today.

Paul Allen's museum looks, for an aviation fan, like some kind of "Ali Baba's cave"

I do hope to go there one day !!!

Btw, this 190A looks amazing.

I went to FHC's website to see if they had posted any pictures. here's a real interesting find, the company owned by the guy who was #2 @ the biggest software outfit in the world, who has a huge corporation, the FHC website hasn't had an upddate posted in 10 months!!

Thanks for the pics Chris, keep them coming. I do hope for more from tomorrow´s debut. (Can´t see enough of her, isn´t it funny? Maybe because she´s that rare, she´s a beauty, and a real workhorse). Roughly around 20 000 built, and none (original airframe) airworthy beside this one.......

At the rate they were putting that together yesterday, it'l probably be flying by lunchtime

A general intenet Non-Warbird observation: I'm making an assumption here, but some of us oldies (like me) don't use Facebook or Twitter regularly, where some of the more facile restoration groups are placing their new info. AvSpecs also is slow to update their website, but they have all the new stuff on their Facebook page. Seems like FHC is doing the same with their Facebook page, so their website seems to suffer.

Kermit Weeks museum blog is the same way. It has been months since it has been updated and even longer since he updated it with anything interesting. Their facebook updates are pretty dull too.
