Did it fly during operation Bodenplatte?

Very hard to say. III.JG/54 and IV.JG/54 were involved. They lost between them 12 Fw190D-9s and 4 Fw190A-8s. They actually got off relatively lightly,some Jagdgeschwader virtually ceased to exist. It is often forgotten that by this time many of the Luftwaffe's pilots were barely competent to fly their aircraft let alone fight them. Skill and experience cannot be replaced with guts and determination. The Luftwaffe demonstrated this very well in January 1945.
