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.

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