The Great War 1914-1918 -- Marking 100years--LEST WE FORGET

kahnjar1 · 6th April 2015, 02:29 AM

There are many and varied events worldwide marking the Great War 1914-1918 centenary, and this was one held over this Easter Weekend, at Omaka, New Zealand.
All aircraft shown are flyable and indeed look spectacular when airborne.
The opening pic is of 8 Fokker Triplanes and one Fokker DVII.
Other aircraft shown include Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Camel, Nieuport II, Pflaz DIII, and Albatross DVa.
Also represented were 2 WWI tanks and other military vehicles from the period.
Hope this is of interest.

DAD WAS A PILOT SO I GREW UP AROUND AIRPLANES AND AIR SHOWS. THE LOCAL SHOWS DON'T HAVE THIS MANY WW1 AIRCRAFT AND NO TANKS, BUT ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING AND FUN. THANKS FOR POSTING THE NICE PICTURES OF SOME VERY COOL MACHINES.
