WOW!!! Absolutely amazing! I really hope to visit!!!

I loved visiting Old Rheinbeck as a kid in the early 70s with my family. My dad and I are still obsessed with aircraft history and scale models decades later. I need to go back!

How have I not found this Chanel until now?

Very beautiful D 5 Albatros

That is one beautiful aircraft.

You Guys are really great, you are doing so fantastic things! My Albatros DV is only a model with 1,2 m wingspan, but I had the same problem: making a new spinner. In my case, the 3d-printer helped. I wish you many wonderful and successful flights with your very pretty, bavarian-style Albatros DVa, hope to meet you one time, many greetings from Bavaria (Germany), Winni

My dad use to take me to Ole Rhinebeck Aerodrome back in the late 70’s. I will never forget it. I hope to see it once again!

Proper Old School Engineering and a truly beautiful D5a! Just WONDERFUL!

You are welcome.

Much living history in New York. More people should know about ORA, can't wait to visit again. The restoration process is amazing, many thanks to the old school craftsmen that volunteer to keep history alive👍

What a beautiful airplane. 👍😎

I was there when the old one came off. Keep 'em flying boys!

My fav WW1 fighter; what a great sight, keep it up boys!

That is one of the most beautiful schemes on anything I’ve ever seen I’ve become a massive fan of yours and constantly look for great pictures and videos of this stuff. Thanks

Very beautiful plane

I hope that one day I might get to go over to see these planes, they are truly something to be in awe of.

I genuinely love the beauty of WW1 fighters. Not only that but the Germans always had beautiful paint schemes in that war. The way you guys repainted this albatross with the checkerboard white and powder blue at the rear half of the fuselage was stunning, and to leave the front wood natural aside from the white on and near the nose is fantastic. Plus I love the purple wings. The Luftsretkrafte would be proud. You guys did an amazing job.

Amazing to think that there was once a time in human history where this was regarded with the same awe and wonderment as we now assign to the latest fighters like the F-22, Grippen, Su-27 and the like, and there's only been just over 100 years of development.

Thank you for posting Can’t wait to visit

In my opinion the Albatros was the most beauty of the german planea in the WWI. Regards!

Glorious; thank you.

Great video... Keep up the excellent work!!

Mark, You may want to do an update on this story.

The spinner was added to provide for a little extra speed with the original Albatros D.Va. This might have been done with the Albatros D.III. My guess is that the ORA Albatros still uses the 175 H.P. Ranger in-line 6 cyl. engine. Most of the originals were equipped with a 200 H.P. Mercedes in-line 6 cyl. engine. Other engines might have been used.

In fact, the spinner was used from the D-l from the beginning.

Just read Flying Fury. McCudden Highly recommended read. These Hun planes are discussed copiously.

Is that a 200 hp Ranger? What RPM are you getting in flight? What size prop are you using? My Fokker DVII is only getting 2300rpm with a 80x44 prop.

Yes it's a 200 ranger. We get 2000 static and about 2300 flat out in the level.
