This one, D-FWJS was flown for the first time by the same pilot as Don Hansen´s, Klaus Plasa. He flies the Messerschmitt Foundation/EADS´s
Bf 109´s quite frequently (Red 7 and Yellow 3 {ex- Black 2}).

Flug Werk airframe incorporating some original parts

Dave

Brilliant, looking forward to more pics soon

Would this be the 9th airworthy Flug-Werk FW190 ??

I don’t think so, I make it the 7th

There are only 6 that I know of that have flown before this one: Frasca’s, the French one that took an early bath, the one that has just flown in Germany (ex-Tom Blair, Duxford), Yagen’s, the one in the US with a 4-blader that suffered a gear collapse, and the prototype (now in New Zealand)

Would this be the 9th airworthy Flug-Werk FW190 ??

Thanks for the heads up Michael, I’ve been following this one a while and it’s great to see it finally fly! Congratulations to all involved.

It would appear that the FAA recognise it as genuine Focke-Wulf, rather than Flug-Werke. Discuss!

I think this one has always been portrayed as being Focke Wulf, although all the major parts come from Flug Werk. Is that right?

AFAIK Don Hansen was one of the first US customers of a Flugwerk kit IIRC. I think there was a picture of the delivered kit on the Flugwerk website originally, at least some years ago. I have no idea how much of the original airframe was used, but as reported there are at least parts of Werknummer 173056 incorporated.
Fw 190A-8 173056 USA CR N91169 I/JG11 White 14
Project for airworthiness owned by Don Hansen, previously with Malcolm Laing. Built in 1944 at Marienburg. It is painted as the aircraft flown by Oberstleutnant Hans Dortenman. Might be completed during 2003. Incorporates many parts made by Flug Werk.
