Same thing apparently happened to it at the very same location 10 years ago.

Hadn't seen...so very sad for Dan Kirkland.

My attempt at a silver lining...

1) Prop blades appear wooden, so hopefully the hurt to the powerplant is minimal.

2) Before TJ's initial post, I had not assumed ASN's database would include wartime aircraft losses. The link for the FW190 even includes Turkish A-3 losses in the 1940s! I'm impressed!

DAMMITSOMUCH!

It looks like there was an issue with the gear, so he left it retracted and bellied it in. The 190 is a REALLY tough design so my hope is that it won't be too difficult to get her back in the air- all it takes is money, right? And yes, those are - uh, were - wooden prop blades.

That's easily the most "correct" 190 scheme flying right now, and yes, I'm including the all-original FHC Fw 190A-5 in there... I'll let Mark Sheppard explain why, LOL. For those wondering, this aircraft's paint scheme almost perfectly replicates the Fw 190A-8 of Maj. Josef "Pips" Priller, Kommandeur of JG 26, who was one of only two Luftwaffe pilots to make it over the invasion beaches on 6 June 44. (He didn't hang around, LOL)

Plane looks small as compared with the people. Is this a full scale 190?

Maybe it's a camera effect.....

Here's to that flying again, soon!

I guess the P-51 ground "kill" over in Houston also got missed?

The Focke-Wulf FW190A-5 sustained substantial damage when it veered off the runway and suffered a landing gear collapse and prop strike.

I thought the same thing, looks like the vans shadow almost reaches the aircraft so its not that far from them.

It's full size.

Most WW II fighter aircraft look small compared to the P-47. Just sayin'...
