2003 Vectren Dayton Airshow - World War I Aircraft

Question. Some of those aircraft look like they came right out of the Air Force Museum collection! Does the museum still fly some of these planes?

The bright pale yellow biplane is a Swedish made Thulin O1. It's not actually a World War One airplane. The machine was originally designed and built in 1919 as a trainer for the expanding Swedish air force. The Fokker D.VII in the video is painted as the yellow nosed version used by Lt. Lothar von Richtofen, brother of Manfred.

1:07-1:16 is a Fokker D VII, 3:00-3:14 is a SE5a, but the light yellow plane i'm not sure

The big rugged plane with the yellow nose surely is a Fokker D-7.
