Silberpfeil

See results below of editing the Dr.I's aircraft fire effect location to the same values you show for the SPAD VII's exhaust position - result is perhaps a little macabre (after all, it is almost Hallowe'en), but otherwise quite satisfactory!

One of my heroes - an old, bold pilot. May he rest in peace.

Good action report, 33LIMA! I've always been more than a little partial to the Tripehound. As I recall, Naval 1 had a pair of "twin Vickers" Tripes for testing, starting in July of 1917. Do you get a chance to try them out in WoFF?

Is the last one Pacific Park near Santa Monica?

Geezer & Stephen1918: I ran across a couple of "airport eye candy" pieces this past weekend (see my MAM Airshow post in The Pub for details) that I was not familiar with. The first (see photos below) is a Ford Model T with a Hucks aircraft starter attachment. Reportedly these were fairly common during the 1920's and 1930's. The second is a Thompson Brothers P505 mobile aircraft refueler which was generally in use for about two decades, starting from the mid-1930's. I submit these strictly for your use and do with them what you will - just airfield curiosities which you may wish to incorporate into your ground fleet!

Some pix from last weekend's "Biplanes and Triplanes" show for your interest. Albatros D.VA Avro 504K Bleriot XI (note the observer's rifle!)

Thanks, Stratos - here's their website below. They have a lot of WWII aircraft, too, mostly flyers but also some static displays. And, their repair shop is pretty capable from what I've seen. I was impressed by the poor condition of an ex-Navy Beech 18 that is tethered to a large pallet (also see below) adjacent to one of their storage hangars - they told me they're going to rebuild it and I don't doubt they will! http://www.militaryaviationmuseum.org/
