Sreiko,
I love the in-flight pic of seven or so Fokkers with one SE5a plane going the other way in the background. They look like a pack of wolves.
The overcast sky makes it more interesting than if it was just a cloudless background.

Glad you like it. I hear that Peter Jackson, who is owner of number of WW1 types, show also on link, was seen on this show while making movie with new camera. I am very impressed with Taube and crashed Dr.I in museum.

Manfred von Richthofen's crash is an amazingly realistic diorama
Apparently the faces of the men are moulded from Peter Jackson's employees. You would swear they were real people.

Hi all,
I'm glad you liked my forum thread as linked in the first post. There are a few other good Classic Fighters airshow related threads on my Wings Over New Zealand Forum too - have a look around, and stay if you like it.
Here's another good thread with Gavin Conroy's air to airs with the Fokkers, with many more promised to come soon:

Uniforms on display at the Aviation Heritage Centre at Omaka
The collection of uniforms at the museum at Omaka is quite extraordinary. Here are photos of Christensen's naval dress uniform, Rickenbackers Teddy bear uniform, Von Bulow-Bothkamp's Hussar uniform from Jasta Boelcke and General von Eberhardt's uniform.
