  • We are in Kingsbury Texas. You can just Google "Pioneer Flight Museum Kingsbury Texas" to get lots more information including the latest work being done by the volunteers.

  • The paint scheme was taken from actual WW1 photos and the nose art actually belonged to Werner Voss' aircraft.

  • just wondering do the gun fire or are they just fake and for show im not meaning to sound mean i just want to know

  • @TheBluemax43 Well, we all dream of what it would be like to have real machine guns on the triplane. Unfortunately it would be a serious federal crime to do that, so we stay in the dream mode!

  • Where are you from? Can I go there to see the plane for myself? I'm a young pilot and I grew up watching movies about aviation. When I saw the Fokker DR1... I knew what the real love is.

  • @thekill847 I think he meant the design was on it, not that actual nose

  • Better watch out, Snoopy!

  • @vintagepropnut i dont think it belonged to werner voss it got destroyed when he got shot down

  • This is Werner` Aircraft il like very much the Escadrile1 Richthofen:d

  • Dont fuck with Germany...

  • I once got the hell scared out of me when a buddy & I encountered a Dr.1 replica in Von Richtoffen's colors and markings. Thought Rod Serling was messing w/ me from the Great Beyond...

  • The real rotary sure is awesome, but using a radial in a beautiful replica like this would be understandable, since rotaries are rare, and a modern radial lasts so much longer between overhauls.

  • This is incredible. It is great to see people build this type of airplane in light of the fact that none of the original triplanes survived the war.
