As promised the team at Omaka presenting Classic Fighters 2007 gave us a show that will take some beating. The scene above shows the 7 Fokker Triplanes of the Red Baron’s elite squadron. These planes were part of The Great War scenario involving in total 13 WW1 planes.

One pilot commented that he felt very vunerable- they highly unstable !!  It’s not to bad once you get up in the air particularly on a day like this.

The ground display was equally impressive with some fascinating old machinery.

These planes were beautifully  restored and the paintwork outstanding all in original colours.

Just look at this Pfalz D.111 or the De Havilland above.

This Tiger Moth in wingover position will lead us into the next phase of the Classic Fighters airshow beautifully.
