Nieuport flies again in Netherlands

摘要

The Lelystad, Netherlands-based Early Birds Foundation's Nieuport 28C1 replica, PH-NIE, flew on 5 April with Arie Bogaerds Jr at the controls, a full 22 years after it first arrived from the USA. The machine was previously N6256 with Frank Ryder, who based a large collection of World War One replica aeroplanes at Guntersville, Alabama before his death in the crash of a Piper PA-46 Malibu in December 1994.
