SOLIDKREATE Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 Too bad, hope it stays in Germany. I hope some rich German buys it and has her restored to her natural grace and let her sing over the skies of Deutschland once more!
Sternjaeger Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 To see this flying would be amazing, the likeliness of this to happen is very very low though.. The irony is that the best way to preserve an aircraft is to keep it in airworthy conditions, but there are a lot of risks related to this and the insurance costs would be astronomical..

Sternjaeger Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 mmmmh the whole website is like the ultimate toy shop... now where's that lottery ticket...
SOLIDKREATE Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 I'm a little weary about the application of the '16'. I don't remember seeing any photos of Luftwaffe aircraft with USAAF style stenciled numerals. Can anyone verify this?
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Interesting that even there they use the swastika substitute. Edited November 5, 2013 by HeavyCavalrySgt
Cybermat47 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Should've been the reward for the first person to pre-order.
SOLIDKREATE Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Interesting that even there they use the swastika substitute. Not always, both the Fw-190A-5 and D-13 at the Flying Heritage Collect have full Hakenkreuz markings. I don't know if they are illegal here in the US though. I guess if it is something historical it's allowed or over looked.

That one is in Germany, and I was thinking of the other conversation about swastikas and I thought that it was usable for historical reasonsin a historical context but apparently not. Embarrassingly there is even a political party in the US that uses the swastika as their symbol - they were in the news last week in fact for reasons I should probably not go into but you could Google if you wanted to; "Jeff Hall".
DB605 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Price reduced, only 650.000 usd now. Almost affordable, should i make offer... http://www.platinumfighters.com/#!focke-wulf-fw-190d-9/c129j Edited November 21, 2013 by DB605
=BLW=Pablo Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 What did he lack to fly again? or rather, how much money he needs to fly again?
