    Sit back and enjoy this wonderful symphony of history, provided by the late Paul Allen, featuring his Focke-Wulf 190A-5/U3, Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3, Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc, Hawker Hurricane Mk. XIIa, de Havilland DH.98 T.III Mosquito, and Mitsubishi A6M3-22 Zero as they start up and depart for an absolutely epic photo shoot with legendary aviation photographer, John Dibbs. August 26th, 2017 is the final fly day for the 2017 season, and will feature aircraft of the European Theater. In addition to the 5 British and German fighters mentioned here will be the American P-51D Mustang and Republic P-47D thunderbolt.

      The frustrating part is that this museum is operated like they think they're Skunk Works. Never tell anyone of any upcoming flights and keep everything hush-hush. I was the ONLY person out there with a camera to see this as it was the day before an airshow they were going to put on. The 190 broke down, so it didn't fly at the show, making me the only person who has footage of authentic, restored, Bf 109, Fw 190, Spitfire, Hurricane, and Mosquito in the air together. It was a photo op and they didn't even do a single formation pass.

    Hard to imagine these birds in their prime. The BF-109's and FW 190's coming up to face off against the Allied bomber formations and escorts, The Hurricanes and Spitfires coming up for the fifth time in the same day with exhausted pilots to defend their territory, the Mosquitos paving the way with flares as Pathfinders, or perhaps as fleet defense or a low level strike. The A6M also performing a number of roles, but mostly as escort and CAP. Neat to see them all in the same place at the same time with their differing sounds. Amazing warbirds. With our modern jets and fancy crap, it's hard to see these airframes as killers, but that's they were, purpose built killers in their day, all of them heart stopping to see by their respective enemies in their own right. What a sight.

    You see what a big single seat aircraft the Hurricane is- not sleek but pugnacious, and despite having no development potential its basic inherent design kept it performing until the end of WW2 in a whole host of roles that no other aeroplane could match in terms of overall versatility. It won its reputation as a classic machine for so many reasons.

    I have a secret. An unfulfilled passion to fly, ideally in a Spitfire or Mosquito.
    I grew up near RAF Biggin Hill so have see 4 of these aircraft fly, the Spit and Hurri quite often, but not for very many years.
    Somehow life took a different direction, today I find I've become a 'marine' artist...
    Still, just great to see this brief film.

      Gordon Frickers get into DCS flight sim. For a not unreasonable amount you can equip with stick, throttle and rudders, a decent 6 core, high quality graphics computer and fly the Spit, P 51, Focke Wulf or ME 109 very cheaply. You even get the immersion of doing it in 1944 Normandy. It is my retirement hobby and I am loving getting used to the Spit MK IX. Just brilliant.

      Would be great, wouldn't it? Sadly there are only two original and complete examples left in the World. One in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry and one at the RAF Museum in Hendon, London, although this example is currently in storage pending development of the museum. When the 'Battle of Britain' film was made in 1968 two Percival Prentice aircraft were converted to look like Stukas but they were considered too dangerous to fly so large scale radio controlled models were used instead. Most of these got blown up during the filming!

      This same museum, Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, is rumored to have a Stuka in the works to fly. I've heard reports from several sources there is a Junkers being worked on by Mike Nixon of Vintage V-12's. With FHCAM finishing so many projects recently, maybe some of these back-burner projects can get closer to completion. Perhaps?

But then there were twice as many Hurricanes and the Spitfires had to take on the more elusive BF.109Es The Spitfire carried on to win air superiority over Malta and North Africa, then went on to being the premier fighter in NW Europe. A principle carrier interceptor. and the main fighter used to keep air superiority over Italy, northern France, Holland, northern Germany Norway and Denmark. Anyway, It's the de Havilland Mosquito that was the best of the lot. Its combat history is second to none.

    watching these warbirds take to the air reminds me of 663 squadron Battle of Britain 12 o clock high back when they used the real thing when possible can you imagine what was like with mass formations coming together in close quarter combat thank you for this video Bruce

    Would be brilliant to be able to fly ALL of these legends , what's not to like ?? Both the Spitfire & the 109 would be more of a challenge to land safely , with the narrow track undercarriage.

      The spitfire is easy to land, you just come in low and slow and literally let it land itself.

    What a spectacle. As I teenage boy I have build most of the WW2 fighters as 1:72 Modells, and a few of tzhe larger aircraft beecause I couldn't afford them. There was no youtube...if I would have seen that movie back then, I would have been collapsed out of excitement

    Superb. So nice to see these, just like the Airfix kits I use to make as a kid. The Zero is the odd one out with the rear gunner.

    Mosquito!
    I remember reading about a Luftwaffe fighter base in Germany during the Second World War where the pilots used to sit around and watch a Photo Reconnaissance Mosquito fly over high and fast.
    They got a bit fed up and decided to have a contest - a bottle of Hennessy would be the prize for the pilot who downed this upstart who was thumbing his nose at them.
    After a few attempts, someone managed to bounce him from high and downed the Mossie.
    There was a bit of celebrating at the base but also some worry about the RAF pilot who bravely flew an unarmed aircraft over Germany. Did he get out?
    Amazingly he parachuted out, was captured and brought to their airfield!
    The Luftwaffe pilots shared the bottle of Hennessy with him.
    I can't remember a mention of a navigator though, did they fly solo to save weight?
    Stories like this go to show that German combatants weren't all SS monsters and chivalry certainly wasn't dead - particularly amongst aircrew.

    Yes Great to see them all together . FW looks so tiny ! (Unless he's a big guy pilot !? ) Nice to see a flying Zero ,looks like a lovely, floaty aircraft judging by that landing .. Wales UK

    If I would have been driving along in that road behind the runway when those six beautiful aircraft were out there running up I believe I would have wrecked the car, no possible way to look anywhere else, not with those planes. I sure would have thought I was dreaming seeing six of the most rare and iconic aircraft on the planet sitting there waiting to take off, all in one place at one time. Like the mosquito, I think there's only one or two in the world still flying, same with the Zero and 190 if not mistaken, as I've been known to be from time to time, lol. I know the CAF had or has a 190A they were slowly returning to flight condition but don't know where they are on that. As it was some time ago, and that 190s of any flavor are so very rare I suppose there's a better than good chance this might be that one. I am going to have to see now, gosh look at the work you've caused me! Lol. One final thing. This looks alot like Carswell AFB in Ft Worth, I know they still fly lots of fighters out of there but thought they moved all the BUFFs to other bases after the dissolution of SAC. Either im wrong about the 52s being rebased or wrong about this being Carswell, wrong about something in there definitely thought. Any help with that question, of where this was shot, would be appreciated as I'm very curious. Thank you for an awesome video. Anytime anyone of these aircraft flies should be documented for history, much less all togather. There's going to be a sad sad day sooner now rather than later when it becomes impossible to fly any warbird, lack of critical parts, plain worn out, or due to attrition. I recently saw an F6F crash and burn due to catastrophic engine failure, sad sad sad watching it explode in a million pieces, tears your heart out, mine anyway...

      This was shot at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. The airfield at which Boeing builds and delivers 747s. The Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum (www.flyingheritage.com/) flies many of their vintage planes during the summer. In addition to what you saw in this excellent video, they routinely fly their P-47, B-25, P-51, Storch, Il-2, and F6F. They also often have visiting aircraft that fly with the museum's aircraft. They have a 262 currently in restoration, with the intent of flying it. (My understanding is that they are having issues with one of the engines.) They typically have one "fly day" each month from late Spring to early Fall, and fly 3 to 5 planes at a time. Its a very nice museum. Its very family friendly. Well worth a visit.

      IMHO The Mosquito, in the air, was the most elegant, graceful airplane ever designed. Art in motion. Could haul ass, too.
