If I was super rich I’d have a place like this. I am building a sopwith pup replica from the airdrome company. Not using a rotary engine though mine will be a radial. These guys are impressive as they build the planes exactly as they were including flaws

@@TheGermanDoughboy Thank you, and I'm very sad to hear of his passing. My father was a WWII C-47 pilot and an airline pilot after the war. Both my parents lost quite a few friends in accidents from the 1940s til the late 1970s, it's always difficult.

Heard there was a mid air collision at the show today. Bucker Jungmann and the Great Lakes?
nice
Is that the original engine?
@@frank4282 yes it’s powered by an original WW1 160 HP Gnome rotary engine
Original WW! engine yes. But not a original Fokker d8 engine
nominally a Oberursel UR.11 110hp
