Air Force Museum World War I Dawn Patrol - Part IV

The weather was starting to look like it would get rough so the planes had to come down.  So it was time to leave.
 The Nieuport 23 on the ground.
 Most of the planes that were there were 7/8 scale planes.  This is a 1 to 1 replica of a SPAD VII.  It is being built by a group in Colorado.
 I don't think it is quite ready to fly yet because it has to go through more of the certification process.
 the controls were pretty simple back then.
 Probably one of the more famous planes of the war, the Fokker Triplane.
 Another angle of the plane.
 Another angle of the SPAD.

I really like to see this plane.  I hope it is flying by the time the next one comes around.
