Gorgeous REAL triplanes! Well done, thanks for preserving history. Fly safe!
God bless this young man and his passion for aviation and these incredible machines! Oh that it were me!!!
“As a flight commander with Jagdstaffel 15, he [Udet] had once gone alone on a balloon bursting expedition, only to find himself alone in a dogfight with another lone machine. As they looped, dived and circled, looking for an opening, Udet read the words “Vieux Charles” painted on the enemy fighter. He knew he was fighting Guynemer, the French ace.
During the combat, Udet’s guns jammed. Seeing this the Frenchman flew over Udet inverted - and waved to him before flying away.”

Great job! Beautiful!
Strap a giant gyroscope on the front of your airplane. LOL, I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes. m
Chris Hill, Excellent interview, and even better event... So happy I got to attend. I hope you and The Golden Age Museum can make this happen again next year! Tailwinds.
Excelllent spokesman, I think.
Read this before I started the video.. as soon as it started playing I about fell over laughing!
I think it was Kermit Weeks that said the pilots wore the scarves so they had something to wipe the caster oil off of their Google's and stuff. Those engine were total loss oiling, the caster oil got everywhere and on everything!
He did. I’ve also heard that your head was on a swivel so much that the part around your neck kept it from chafing
Beautiful .. historic .. interview.
Terrific video, was so glad I could attend. Chris and Paul did a great job organizing the event.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job Chris. I'll catch up to you eventually!
Great planes & video. Sopwith Pup was a bonus.
Glad you enjoyed it
cool all rotary engines and hand built
Very informative clip. Thanks.
The Blue Max is a decent movie with these airplanes
George Peppard was perfect for that role.
My father knew the folks at Golden Age/Grimes and Old Rhinbeck well and loved his involvement in that community of aviators. I won't forget the time we flew into Grimes together around the time I soloed our biplane. He would be so please to see this news and interview.
nice!
I kind of thought you would have a triplane with Werner Voss markings Beautiful planes Thanks
Foe-kerrr?? I think he means Fokker.😄
..i need a WC...
A powerless Dr. 1 has better flight characteristics than a 747....... Says my father who once landed a powerless 747.... Successfully. But i do not think he ever flew a Dr. 1.
Don't forget your burning the oil as well as gas; and you could run out of both...
