Any 100% scale replica E.III's flying today?

Is there any replica Fokker E's flying today? I have seen a picture of a red and black one that was used in Aces High. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Regards, ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Ben

Chuck Wentworth at Antique Aero in Paso Robles, Calif. finished one a year ago. His is built to original specs w/ rotary etc. A beautiful little ship. Chuck is a rare individual who can bring a basket-case WWII ship back to life and then fly it as well as anyone around or start with a supply of tube, wood and fabric and build a WWI replica and similarly fly hell out of it. He is highly regarded among the knowledgeable in the U.S. as a tremendous talent but generally is, I feel, deserving of more recognition from the WWI aircraft enthusiasts in other parts of world. I don't want this to sound like a paid endorsement but CW really gets it done: he started the EIII the day after his "open house" in June of '98 and had it flying for the open house in June of '99!

Ben,

I once saw a Fokker E-III parked alongside a small airstrip between Kansas City and Warrensburg,Missouri while on a trip in 1996. Whether this replica was capable of flight or not I cannot say--it appeared to be for display only. It was easily visible from the highway but I did not stop (dammit) to see it up close, promising myself I would on the return trip. But our plans changed and I missed my chance. Wish I could give you more info--but if you're anywhere close go take a look.

Best Wishes,
Gary
