Nice, Original FW190. What a sound!!!!

[JvTonder]

On Luftwaffe day 8/6/2011, the FHC flew their FW 190 warbird. In my opinion, the original WWII BMW 801 on this plane is the best and most beastly sounding radial engine I have ever heard.

Hi John my pleasure! Just love the FW190. Saw the ME 262 and just as great but not a radial

Best for 2012 to all

The P51D remains my favorite aerie of all time. From design to prototype in 100 days, in its time the best long range fighter around..... And an absolutely stunning machine..

Sorry guys but NOTHING Beats the FW190 for me .
I even have the Tattoo to prove it
Really Awsome birds and do not underestimate them

[JvTonder]

The yanks did not call the FW190 the butcherbird for nothing

The spity, hurricane, P51, P40 and all the rest were great and sounds great but nothing beats that radial sound off the 190!
And the lines off the 190 is absolute stunning...............

Oo and the P51 is originally a british design with some changes done by the yanks, so is it really an American design???

PS: any off us would give their left nut just to fly in any off them so does it really matter?
