    As far as we know this is only the second time since 1918 that seven of these aircraft have been seen in the air together at one time (the first time was in 2007).

    It's at Omaka, Classic Fighters 2011.

    Airframes, there was an SE5 and a Camel there, as well as a Sopwith Triplane, an Albatross D-V and Fokker D-VII. And there are more exciting aircraft in the pipeline from the rumours I have heard.
    The need for adventure is intrinsic in human beings. We need it. If we don't have it we will not develop as a species and will die.

    Seven Little Fokkers; These ones were taken at the 2007 Classic Fighters airshow, they are scans of prints, so aren't great quality:







    These are all seven taken at the 2011 event:

    Manfred von Richtofen's



    Unidentified pilot's



    Richard Wenzl's



    Lothar von Richtofen's



    Hans Weiss'



    Eberhardt Mohnicke's



    Werner Steinhauser's



    ...and a few more of Richtofen's 425/17:
