Check Six 2 Posted August 1, 2009 From the latest newsletter of the ASWW1AH: (Author Colin Owers) "After the Omaka Air Show we were guests of Peter Jackson at Hood Aerodrome near Masterdon on NZ's North Island. At Hood Aerodrome there are two new Fokker D VIII monoplanes, three or four reproduction Fokker Triplanes, a Halberstadt fighter, AVRO 504K, B.E.2f, three S.E.5a fighters, Bristol Fighter, a radial engined Sopwith Triplane, the ex-Blue Max Pfalz D.III and Fokker D.VII, and the F.E.2b biplanes, one in parts and the other in full flying condition." He goes on to describe his flight in the FE2b...even standing in the nacelle to see what it might have been like trying to shoot from that position. But WOW! What a collection of aircraft. I don't know if it is open to the public. I think all these aircraft belong to Peter Jackson. I can smell a good movie coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted August 1, 2009 I'm with you Steve. He's the man with the means and the machines. Just think of what he could do with the combination of those planes and todays movie magic. I am suspicious of his eventual intentions. I think he has very personal film project in mind. Here's to hoping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 1, 2009 Yes, that would become a great movie, I'm sure! A Halberstadt fighter - never saw any replicas of that one yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
