A little something to brighten the spirits....

This has been long overdue, a flying example of the 190 restored. And also with the BMW801:

And to think it all started here, in 1989, recovery efforts in 1991:

I've gotta get out to Paine Field and see those guys. They are doing some amazing things.

That'd be one hell of a find, walking in the woods.

I searched out some vids of the dude that stole the plane from the germans, Bob Hoover.
What a crazy pilot. Apparently he had a bunch of "Brass" in the back of the plane he was piloting one day.. all sipping their coffee when someone asked the pilot if he could roll the plane. He did so without anyone spilling a single drop. Then, just to show off a bit more, got the camera out and poured a glass of ice tea while performing the roll! He went on to say it was difficult to pour back-handed lol.
