The very rare sight of seven full-size WW1 Fokker Dr.1 Triplanes replicas in the air together. Each of these aircraft is painted to represent one of the aircraft/pilots that flew as part of Manfred von Richthofen's Jasta 11 in April 1918.

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.
