The Battle for Bethel 2015

These are shots from the Golden Age Air Museum in Bethel PA. Yesterday was their Flying Circus Air Show. The triplane is a Fokker Dr1 and painted in the colors of Lothar von Richthofen brother of Manfred, the Red Baron. The British plane is a Sopwith Pup and the third is a Rumpler Observation plane. These are from the Air War. I still have about 200 to go through from the rest of the show. maybe later today, or this week

Like your take on the last one

Looks like Lothar scored first.....

ACME School of Aviation. I think I will skip this semester.....

Thanks. It was a great time. It' the second airshow my son and I attended in the last two weeks. He is an FAA licensed mechanic and enjoys the shows from a different point of view than some of the rest of us. And I get perspective on things I would never get just otherwise. I have more to post within the next day or two.

Very good shots.

These are Barn Storming planes from the 1920's

Thanks, I appreciate that. Most of the day was a gray overcast sky so it made it difficult it get good shots. When it did start to break up a little the sun was not to my back....

A little aerobatics....
