What does a commercial pilot do in his free time........of course he owns and flies a WWII German warbird........ with the only flyable Focke Wulf Fw190 in Australia (titled Würger & nicknamed 'Butcher Bird' ).
For Chris Mayr it was an early dream to find and fly this aircraft being most likely encouraged by his German father and his grandfather's connection with the Luftwaffe.
This Fw 190A8 version was produced in February 1944, then heavily damaged due to bombing in a German factory and then sent to Loisianna USA for restoration
After purchasing the Fw190 in 2014 the aircraft arrived in Albury, NSW. Australia in July 2015 and had its first flight in the same year.
With thanks to Chris in continuing great displays of his Fw190 and for the organisers in arranging these displays.
