Hi all! Thanks to Allan Scott Wines, four of the airworthy Fokker Dr.I Triplane replicas based here at Omaka have gone on display in the Aviation Heritage Centre in an all-new exhibit. This "Meet The Fokkers" display is available to view at NO EXTRA COST from admission. All through October there will be special prices on Fokker merchandise (hats, shirts, model kits etc), and some modern-day Triplane memorabilia on display. The machines on display are some of the most distinctive of the seven Vintage Aviator-owned aircraft: Manfred von Richtofen's infamous all-red aeroplane, his brother Lothar's yellow-tailed ship, Eberhardt Mohnicke's Dr.I with the blue tail and reverse swastika, and Werner Steinhauser's aircraft with the yellow and red markings. Hopefully I'll see you there soon, as there's not been a better time to visit Blenheim and Omaka. If you are coming, let me know and I'll show you around the facility.

Great stuff Zac. Well done AHC.
Have any of the existing exhibits moved out to accommodate these aircraft?

Just the replica Bristol Fighter. Mind you, there's still an ORIGINAL fuselage frame on display.
