Thread: Nieuport 11's over Comox?

  1. #1

    Default Nieuport 11's over Comox?

    Saw something completely unexpected today.

    Three 7/8ths replica Nieuport 11s overflew the Comox Air Force Museum in formation this morning. Go figure, I didn't have a camera ready. I will try to get some pictures of them in the air today or over the next few days.

    Wonderful news! Do they come with maneuver decks and cards at 7/8 scale? I want 2 . . .

    That sounds like a great tribute. I hope that it all goes well and someone takes a video or photographs.
