Another "what is this aircraft"

[Meaty0]

Okay...what is this... (I overheard the owner who described it as a "pig of a thing" to fly.) I sincerely doubt it's the genuine article though. More likely a replica... And for good measure, can you name the delightful light aircraft in the background (right)?

A cessna 152/172? Would it be yours perchance?

Yup...I thought it looked "wrong" somehow.

Focke Wulf FW190

Yup!

172 (well...three people got out of it) and nope...not mine:(

ironic that the owner described it the way he did; the original FW190's were extremely responsive and maneuverable. it must be a replica; there no known examples left in flying condition, though there is a nicely restored D9 "Dora" at the Museum of Flight in Seattle...

Yeah...it wasn't the right size and it didn't look convincing. I believe the genuine article is getting close to fully restored and airworthy HERE (http://www.white1foundation.org/index.htm)
