You should have just said were some of the best planes ever made. No
argument there. Lots of civilian pilots fly WW1 replicas and they are
crowd pleasers. My fave, contrary to what the RAM anti-German fanatics
think I will say, is NOT the Fokker D.VII. I always liked the Albatros
D.Va even with the annoying wing strut problem. If I had the money I'd
buy one today and paint it up the way they did back then.

I think the Red Baron could beat any plane of today with his triplane !

Sorry, not even Erich Hartmann with 352 kills would score with a
Me-109 today. We'll have to wait for WW3 and see if the Germans will
invent new aircraft firing "swarmers" (aka KKVs: Kinetic Kill
Vehicles) that will down 10-12 enemy aircraft at a time. Wouldn't that
be interesting? 35 missions and a new top ace is born!!! (Just a JOKE
guys, so don't even think about flaming)...

I even think that Zeppelins are better than most modern planes !

The new Zeppelin and plans for even larger types from around the world
arouse great interest but lack suitable funding. It WOULD be
absolutely amazing to fly in an 800+ ft long Zeppelin across the
Atlantic. That IMO is comparable to those that flew on the Concorde.

That's nice.

My God, YES it would be nice Al!
