  • Peter Jackson built Albatros D. Va flies in Florida

Kermit Weeks takes his newly-acquired Albatros D.Va for its first flight since arriving in Florida. Built by Peter Jackson's The Vintage Aviator, Ltd. in New Zealand, this was its first flight in the US - and very likely the first flight of any Albatros in the US in a very long time! The engine is an authentic Mercedes 200hp straight six-cylinder engine. Awesome sound!

Kermit got himself another new toy.

Well not the first flight of "any" Albatros in the U.S. - we got plenty of L-39s and a few HU-16s in Florida.
