Here's How You Can Fly One of Peter Jackson's WWI Planes

[@LeeGinSing]

I did not know Peter Jackson had a WWI airplane collection! That's awesome!

[@KBCFoxStudios]

He owns a lot of World War 1 vehicles. Enough to have his own WW1 museum.

[@Icanbacktrailers]

@@KBCFoxStudiosthe largest collection (public or private) in the world

[@hihu7200]

I would love to fly in one of these airplanes. Time to save up for a trip.

[@MoodOnYouTube]

But where can you fly it?

[@jacklesloverforevers5477]

Flown by Snoopy? Like Snoopy Vs The Red Baron? Your age is showing Smithsonian and I for one approve ☆☆☆

[@sammygarcia6968]

Cant believe they still can fly.....😮

[@WorkAlef]

@Thane Mac It doesn't matter. They're flying - and they're flying for good.

[@graycelowe7641]

too cool, i am so jealous. GEN11 will always have a special place in my heart.

[@dogfightdiary5712]

Can we some pics of the rotary planes landing please? I'd like to study the effects of torque and P-factor at the slow landing rollout to see how accurate the IL*2 Flying Circus flight simulator is. Please? Thank you! 🙂

Gene DeMarco's later fall from grace was colossal.

[@Surferjo]

[@patstrzeszewski3240]

I wish the vintage aviator still produces these aircraft

[@binchickenstoleyourchips]

I flew in a tiger moth at that airport. Was fun

[@xizzywilko]

You helped me with my English homework 😂😂😂😂

[@djcorvette8375]

dude's loaded

[@525Lines]

They are most likely 70% or more replaced parts. Even then, I wouldn't want to trust one with anyone's life.

[@granddukeofmecklenburg]

525Lines Theyre wood and fabric, an original ww1 era plane would last maybe 5 years before disintegrating in mid air...Most modern "ww1" planes are complete replicas with aluminium frames and non fabric skins, so they dont fall apart

[@noahemail0339]

Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin It’s a physical metaphor

[@luggagenk]

@@granddukeofmecklenburg These aren't. All are rebuilt using original plans and the wood and fabric is the same as was used in the originals

I’m buying a ticket to New Zealand !!!

[@Kriswixx]

Peter come Fly with us in WW1 Warplanes on Oculus Quest!~! vr!

[@kevincarr5648]

No thanks, my feet stay on the ground haha never flown, never will. :)

[@noahemail0339]

Kevin Carr wingsuit is the only flying, everything else is riding

[@brunosorgus8031]

@@noahemail0339 Haha! Quite so, quite so.

[@danield679]

Peter Jackson is one of those individuals who seems to say... Gimme, gimme, gimme!! That's Mine! 70 Planes?! Ugh! Ridiculous!

[@sopwithpup01]

Daniel D Daniel, it’s quite the opposite actually. We as a community are very lucky to have Peter Jackson as a champion for history. Without his passion and of course his money, the World would not have these incredible aircraft flying. Without these flying aircraft, there would be no tangible link to the incredible bravery of those pilots and observers who fought and died for their respective countries. The Vintage Aviator Company that Peter owns, builds these aircraft from original plans and materials (if available). They keep an almost forgotten and dead set of skills alive, and teach us so much about the people and the history of that era. Peter uses his wealth to collect and preserve so much from WW1 that would possibly otherwise be lost or destroyed. He and his team display these aircraft regularly so that our and future generations can learn from our history. That often quoted comment “those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it’ , I think, is worth remembering. All the best.

That man made LOTR into the greatest mythological film ever made. He can have whatever he wants!

AND GOOD FOR HIM !

@@kenrobba5831 yes I think my opinion from two years ago was misguided and revealed my own jealousy and insecurity.

@@sopwithpup01 thank you for your polite and erudite reply to my jealous remark that shows my own insecurities. Blessings.
