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.

An Eindekker (sp?)
A replica (miniature?) F5E ? I think......... WW1 isn't my area of interest, so pardon if I haven't identified it correctly. It is NOT an original. I do know that for sure.
All 3 in the same frame.

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.

I'm not a big WW1 fan either but I think these areFokker D.VIII and SE5a replicas respectively.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

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?

If you look at the first Fokker pic it says DR 1 on the side, but I still don't know what it is. Could be the D.Vlll for all I know.

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.

The DR.1 would be the red triplane while the D.VIII is the one with a black and yellow diamond pattern on the fuselage.

See?Told ya WWl wasn't my area of expertise. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it.
