Cool story and pics of some WWII planes and the man who owned them. Be sure to watch the video.

Really neat. About fifteen years or so ago, my brother took me to a warehouse somewhere near Mercedes, Texas, I think it was, but it may have been around Harlingen. The owner had several FW190's in various states of repair and disrepair, much like the 109's in the video. I often wonder if they are still there, or have been rebuilt.
