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

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.
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.

@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!
