German Aircraft Question??

Mon Mar 13, 2006 9:30 am

Are there are any Jumo 213 or BMW 801 powered German WWII aircraft still in airworthy condition?

I know the FW190D Yellow 10 serial 836017 now at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA is airworthly but not sure if she is still a flyer or not?

A good website to look at for information is www.preservedaxisaircraft.com. Look under the German Aircraft links. This site does a very good job of keeping track of current restorations.

There are currently two BMW 801-powered restorations for airworthy status. The Fw190 A-5 owned by Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection and Dr. Mark Timken's Fw190 F-8 (www.white1foundation.org) Both are nearing completion.

The decision was made that the Fw190D-13 will not fly. Look for a possible Jumo 213-powered aircraft to emerge within the next few years.

Thanks for the link...

Looks like German Powered Aircraft from WWII are pretty rare birds..even the DB 109 flyers are almost extinct
