  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The worlds ONLY original FW-190 in flying condition has arrived at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allens' Flying Heritage Collection in Everett, Washington yesterday and has begun the process of reassembly (they trucked it up from Arizona). I went down yesterday and today after work to see the aircraft and take some pics. FHC will have an unveiling event tomorrow morning at opening, which I will be attending, of course. It will be flying June 18th for its debut in the PNW. Also flying that day will be the museums P-51D Mustang. Later in the flying season they will have "Luftwaffe Day" in which they will fly their Fieseler Storch, Messerschmitt Bf-109E-3 Emil and the new Focke-Wulf 190 A5. Hopefully between now and then the starts will align and I will be able to catch some certification flights. The museum also features the worlds only surviving Focke-Wulf 190 D13 Dora. It is airworthy, however, it will not be flown.

It is really quite a sight to behold. Yesterday the entire museum shook and rattled as the museum on the other side of the runway ran its North American B-25D Mitchell up to full power, prior to its first flight of the season. Speaking of Mitchell's, this same museum (FHC) will be receiving yet another new member, a B-25J Mitchell.

These are from yesterday...
