The OMAKA AIRSHOW is probably the greatest WW1 aircraft show.

Omaka is in New Zealand, the land of Wing Nuts and the "Vintage Aviator".

Just imagine if we all could meet there. Lord, the fun we would have getting to know one another better in that setting.

I agree, but maybe everyone should go by boat. Back to save my nickels and save my dimes.

A great journey that would be, Rickitycrate! And that postcard is funny.

I think, considering the military strength of Germany in those days, it should rather be

showing a "Schäferhund" (German shepperd dog; Alsatian). But then France and Britain

would also complain. A cute painting.

I would dearly love to make that trip myself and join up with you lot for the air show there. Wonder how much flights are if we book a year in advance?

 

And I echo Olham's sentiment Rickitycrate, your new post images are very neat.

Thanks, my sig/avatar change was overdue. My new job has kept me busy and tired. I haven't posted much lately but I check-in on a regular basis.

[Olham 164]

Rickity, be glad you found the new job - many others don't. Just write, when you can; we know you are there.

I just see you changed your Avatar to "Gotha!" - do you want to fly them, or shoot them down?

[Rickitycrate 10]

Olham mein freund, I know I am blessed to have the job. I want to fly the Gotha's, shoot down the Gotha's and escort them. I want to see them in the air even if I do not interact with them. They were there in RL so I want them in my OFF. I know they were used against my British brethren but I am not one for rewriting history.

[Olham 164]

Yes, I am also looking forward to seeing such a giant of the early aviation.

I'm as you there: I will not only escort it - I will also try to shoot it down, flying an S.E.5a or a Spad.

And the "British brethren" are also mine - as a European (although it often seems they don't

want to be part of Europe). Fine, original people I wouldn't want to miss.
