Greetings Wolfenbill:

Most of these are taken at Guntersville Alabama in 1992 & again in 1998 when the Lafayette Foundation purchased the Eberle Fokker Dr.I, 2 @ SE(Tallini and one other) and the Sopwith Pup. The Blue Fokker D.VII is 'Aquarius' built by our founder Dr. James J. Parks. *Aquarius was Mrs. Jane Parks birth sign and it duplicates the profile of the Rocky Mtn. here in Colorado, where we're based. *The Berthold Fokker D.VII is the one *at Champlin, (see C&C Int Vol.24, #2 1993 for its history) and the red & white polka dotted tailed D.VII is the original from Palen's collection. *The Snipe and SE.5a and Spad are from Champlin as well. The Sop & Fok Tripes together were parked near Balboa park in San Diego in 1972-3. *More?

After most of the legal hassles were dealt with *the Ryder Aerodrome began to sell their aircraft in 1998. *We arrived in late Nov.1998 and many of the aircraft were available for our perusal. The Dr.I in flight is the Eberle Triplane (Frank Ryder's favorite to fly) in the skies over Colorado in 1999. *The 83 year old pilot is our own Maury (Baron von)Quick. *Also the 1/3 scale *lil Princess in the nose shot of the Lafayette Foundation's D.VII is my youngest of 5 and only daughter - Dani. *
