I was talking to a TFC engineer yesterday about the chances of Christophe Jacquard’s Flug Werk ‘190 appearing at Legends (it is booked-YIPPEE!)-and he told me that during its first display at the weekend the pilot “lost everything” and had to make an emergency landing (which was succesful with no damage to aircraft or pilot!)-does anyone have further details?-will it still be in the hanger come Legends weekend??

Arrving from Dijon on tuesday, the FW 190 had a total electric failure. It diverted to a nearby long runway, Bretigny sur Orge. Was flown to LFA friday mid-day, gear extended. Electric problem was solved, but a thorough check and discussions with the two german pilots who test-flew the FlugWerk assembled ones prompted a decision to ground the plane and proceed to “better” some part of it.
It is very unlikely that it will appear at Legends, as of today.
