Just found this YouTube - Fw190D Engine Runs
From which museum is it? Whata sound...
And two more YouTube - Fw 190 D Dora and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9fqP...eature=related
I guess those videos show the same Dora as the pics in this thread...

That's awesome! Where's this machine located? Is it or will it be flyable?

That is the D-13 that is pictured in this thread. It is located in Everett, Washington.

Quick question, Did JG53 fly doras? Or is that the same insignia on the side?

Kris, don´t you know if they have ever flew it?
It´s nice to see those birds in the air but I prefer static display. It is too dangereous to fly them and it´s a great risk. These birds deserve to stay in the museums for the future generations.

Do I see it right? It has the propeller of a D-9? I think there is a B/W picture of it taken shortly after the end of WW2 as a captured aircraft, cant't find it right now. There, it has a prop that is clearly broader-bladed than this one. AFAIKP from D-11 onwards (Ta 152s included) the Würgers have this prop.
So, how come?

since this is the only one of its kind Paul Allen will not fly it,but all the other planes fly on the weekends even the Ratta.

No I really don't know. I have the same problem as you do though. I love to see them fly, but I would rather see them static in a museum than gone forever.
