Jepp, remember these things dont go fast. Might be the reason that so many WW I pilots had a lot of crashes, if they had flown a WW II plane they would only had one.

"The main feature was Flying circus from Czech republic. During their display two airplanes collided. Fokker Dr.I clipped the tail of Nieuport 17. (Both airplaned were ultralight replicas some 20 percent smaller). Nieuport went into steep dive and crashed straight into the ground. Amazingly, pilot survived with broken arm and leg and concussion. Dreidecker was able to land safely. Pilots were probably blinded by the sun, which was directly in front.
