WoW! That's incredible! Looks almost pristine after battling the elements - in Russian territory all these years! Thanks for the link.

Re: Fw-190 found in Russia VIDEO

Nice video, this bird is in great shape for the circumstances. I like the swazi on the tail, it was masked out when this was repainted. Excellent idea to modify those that don't come with one. This is usually seen on armor, nice to see an example on a 190.

That is really cool! There was a B-24 that crashed in northern Utah in '44, and it got scavenged to death. It would be such a thrill to find an aircraft like that.

Very nice. Thanks for the link. It looked great considering the 50 years before it was found.

Re: Fw-190 found in Russia VIDEO

Amazing! I can't imagine just finding something like that in the woods (looks like it's been picked over a little though). Must be a lot of that type of stuff in the old Soviet Union just waiting to be discovered/recovered.

That 190 needs to be recovered and restored. Looks like it could even be made flyable.

She looks like she was in pretty remarkable condition (considering the circumstances).
