Excellent stuff!
Original Fw-190A-5 - BMW-801 - Only Flying Original in the world
Flying Heritage Collection owns and maintains the only flying original Focke-Wulf 190 in the world at this time. Though several are under restoration, this unique Fw-190 was recovered from an overgrown forest in the 1990's and became airworthy only a few years ago. The 190 is flown before crowds at the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, thanks to owner Paul Allen.

German ace Josef Priller (1915/1961) arrives in his sport BMW 327 for a sortie in his Fw-190.
You can get a 327 for about $180,000 today.
When looking to see if you could purchase a FW-190 I found....
"At least 23 Fw 190s exist in museums, collections and in storage worldwide, with 11 displayed in the United States. The National Air and Space Museum stores the only known surviving "long-wing" Ta 152 H, an H-0/R-11 version, at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland."

That reminds me of the time the Scottish pilot as debriefed after a dogfight with Germans during WW2. When he as asked what happened, he said he came across three Foches. Then he explained they were flying Messerschmitts.
