A Harlow. The guys flying it today said this is one of only 4 aircraft still flying in the world. I have no idea what it is. Never seen one before, not even in a book. But I thought it was cool and the idea it's just 1 of 4 still flying in the world pulled on my heart strings just a bit......... okay a LOT.

The Fokker and the F5E flying circuits around the field.
Again, not my area of interest so don't hammer me if I haven't identified the biplane correctly, but they are airplanes and I couldn't resist the pictures. How often you gonna see this in your lifetime?

Now THISis my area of interest. I got one of these in 30% size with a 75cc engine. Found out where he hangers this beauty and I'm gonna hit him up for a ride some day SOON. I'm helping a friend build a Murphy Rebel kit in a hanger only 50 yards from the hanger for this beauty.

4 Yaks with smoke and the Pitts S2-B crossing after they pass. Had to bend over backwards to get this one and lost the Pitts. What do ya expect from an amateur videographer with a 5meg pocket camera?

I'm not a big WW1 fan either but I think these are Fokker D.VIII and SE5a replicas respectively.
Thanks for sharing the pics!

I think you are correct on the SE5a. I've got some hearing problems and when a guy says "SE5a" in my ear it could easily sound like "FE5a" with all those airplane engines running in the background.
