Original Fw-190A-5 – BMW-801 – Only Flying Original in the world

The only airworthy original Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-5, powered by its authentic BMW 801, continues to amaze aviation enthusiasts around the world. Once part of the collection of Paul Allen, this remarkable aircraft stands as the sole surviving example still flying today.

Recovered from a dense forest in the 1990s, the fighter underwent an extensive and careful restoration before returning to the skies only a few years ago. Now regularly flown at airshows, it offers audiences a rare, living glimpse into World War II aviation. While other Fw-190s remain under restoration, this aircraft remains truly one of a kind.
