Greetings all;

While I slave away back here. (Unable to go as ground crew as I had hoped.) The Three Fokkers of the Foundation prep and ready for a formation flight to Dayton OH for the Dawn Patrol Fly-in. Follow along with the daily blog found here.

I went to it a few years ago. It was really cool.

One of these years.... one of these years....

The daily Blog is providing information that maybe helpful for others planning extended flights across country.

The link doesn't work.

Thanks Carl Got. I get " " marks in transfers sometimes. Not always. but it throws the link function out. Should be good now.

All is well with the crew. One small mishap the Fokker D.VII brakes locked up while taxiing and they will dismantle it for truck transport back home. It could have been lots worse at a different time like landing. The Dr.I and the D.VIII will fly out tomorrow. One crew got back today and the other leaves with the aircraft to give ground support on the way home. All in all a great foray.



A little fellow named Ryan holds his "Red Baron" up next to ours. Looks like there might be another enthusiast in the making!

Looks like everyone got home ok. Fok. D.VII trailered in and the rest arrived shortly after. Don't forget to check in with us at the Foundation. Lots of winter activity scheduled.

Thanks to all those who shared in the experience.
