........... On the 25th June we removed the wing from our Fw190D-13 and exchanged it with the wing from the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio. They transported their wing here on an Air National Guard C-130 cargo aircraft landing at Willaims Gateway Airport, formerly William Air Force Base. The exchange was completed in a driving rain storm in less than 2 hours...........

Seems that the wings between Doug Champlins Fw190 and the USAF Museums example have finally swapped. So both aircraft have their original wings back. Glad they finally did.

Any more information about this?
