21st April 1918 Manfred freiherr von Richtofen was shot down.

What are you doing today to mark the event?

I'll be a bit busy myself, unfortunately.

After work I fly...I mean drive 2 1/2 hours to spend the weekend with my wife.

**Flying Helmut** · 04-20-2018 14:35

I'll be flying the skies of WW1 in the Prague Con 'Richthofen Campaign'

Leutant Helmut Pfeiffer will be doing his best to protect the Rittmeister as he flies to further glory for country and Kaiser!

P.S.

Might be having a drink or two in remembrance and honour of a great warrior, great leader and great patriot.

You'll have a fight on your hands, Tim's not keen on being de-bagged

Have a great time all

It's a gaming day at my house: I wonder if I can talk some of the regular attendees into a WoG game of Brown vs Richthofen vs May.

I spent about 3 hours flying 6 Sopwith Camel against 5 Fokker DR.1 and 2 Albatross DIII earlier to commemorate MvR's final flight.
AAR will be in the WWI section as soon as I can write it up.
