Hey Guys.
I was going thru some old pictures and came across this one of the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane that two friends of mine built. They built it from 1978-1980 and kept it in my hangar for 2+ years. The engine is a 165HP Warner. It was sold and shipped to a Count in Italy that had a son going thru AF pilot training. For some reason they were not able to get the Italian paperwork so it came back to the USA and is now in the Cavanaugh Museum in Dallas. It has been in several movies Poncho Barnes being one of them.
The picture was taken by a friend at our Civic Club in 1981
Here is a Nieuport 28 my neighbor, who has now moved to FL., built about 10 years ago
This Very nice Triplane was also built by a neighbor. The POS Rotec engine lost power on the first flight.
It is now being rebuilt by a neighbor.
