DescriptionFocke-Wulf Fw190A-8 mishap at 2015 Omaka Airshow.jpg
English: Frank Parker, an experienced New Zealand based Warbird Pilot, did a polished handling demo in new build Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 ZK-RFR Cn 990001, at the Classic Fighters Omaka Airshow on ‘Practice Day’ Friday 03Apr2015. A normal Port-side crosswind landing followed, which rapidly became a high-speed ground loop when the Stbd brake failed. The aircraft ‘swapped ends’ and departed the grass runway about 45 degrees to the left of runway heading, skidding backwards on its belly-mounted external fuel tank. The intact wooden propeller is shown ‘about to disintegrate’ when the propeller tips contacted the ground. Frank exited the aircraft safely, but the aircraft will require extensive repairs. Apologies for the ‘heat haze’ in this image.
