Fokker D.VII

Another aircraft that you will see at Biplanes and Zeppelins 2010 is this Fokker D.VII replica.



It is arriving in Virginia Beach today From Switzerland. I'm sure some of you will recognize it as the one owned by the late Mark Hanna of the Old Flying Machine Company at Duxford.

More information and pictures in the Replica Plane thread.

Over the Front

Over the Front will be there! We have secured a vendor table where we will offer back issues of OTF and Cross and Cockade and, hopefully, signing up new members as well. More info on the show can be found on the OTF website World War I Aviation Magazine - Over the Front. Look under events.

Sound like great fun. But for me it is a long way to travel, being as I live up in Michigan. Wish I could be there.

Museum

I went for the first time this last weekend to check out the planes at the Military Aviation Museum and was totally blown away by the collection. There is the Avro on display along with an undersized (but flyable) SPAD XIII, 2 Fokker DR I, 1 Fokker DR VII, as well as a Sopwith Pup (1/3) scale hanging upside down in the lobby.

The weekend of the Biplanes show should be a great experience for anyone lucky enought to attend.
