Great living this close to the museum. Like a candy store.

I believe the FW-190 belongs to Rudy Frasca, and is just being housed there at Planes of Fame. Here's some information on a video of the Plane "...Rudy Frasca's new-build Flug Werk-built Focke-Wulf FW 190 at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California. A very impressive replica of the WWII FW-190, this aircraft was built in Germany and was assembled by Matt Nightingale in California with quite a few innovative features (i.e. newly designed oil coolers, for one)..."

see video here:

That's about all I know about it, when I visit again, I'll ask for some details on it, other than it's not an original FW190 but a replica (and pretty darn nice one at that). Here's a list of surviving Focke Wulf aircraft - I think only one is in flying condition (not counting the Frasca replica): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...e-Wulf_Fw_190s
