The Albatross fighter flights again Published 28/04/2012 9:56 pm - Schleiheim (DE) 11th April 2012, Koloman Mayrhofer and
Eberhard Fritsch announced that yesterday in the late morning, after a 94-years-long break, a WWI designed Albatross fighter has
flown again. On the Schleiheim aerodrome (Munchen, DE) the OEFFAG Albatross D.III s/n 253.24 replica produced by the two
friends, started the test flight operations.Were very happy we reached our goal of making the plane flying says Koloman Mayrhofer
especially because the replica is historically accurate and its fitted with and original six in line cylinders Austro Daimler engine,
produced in 1917! We would like to thank all the people involved in the project continued Mayrhofer without their passion and
devotion, this 20-years-long journey wouldnt have reached its natural end. The text pilot Roger Louis Tex Texier, after all the preflight inspection controls were done by his C.S. Francis DePenne, performed two flights over the day and afterward declared:
together with Mayrhofer we scheduled to use the first flights just to gain confidence with the aircraft characteristics, but continued
the well experienced test pilot already on the second flight I felt so connected to the aircraft that I couldnt help by doing some
acrobatics manoeuvres. These manoeuvres included a series of touch-and-go, a stall, some close turnings and a Immelmann, that
aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd on the ground. The pilot also gave his first impressions: the Albatross its really different from
all the other WWI aircrafts I was able to flight: the tail surfaces are extremely sensible unlike the ailerons; the powerful engine grant
good acceleration and climbing characteristics. A real race horse!. As the flight program developed, despite bad weather
conditions, it was possible to achieve a total of nearly 3 hours of flight by the end of the week. The flight test activities of the aircraft
are carried under the experimental certification of the LBA (German NAA) supervision, and are scheduled to last until 22nd of July. If

When the albatross is killed, nature wreaks its revenge. Like the ancient mariner, Craven has a warning for mankindand, he likes to think, a way out.

Meanwhile, the Egyptians hindered their own defense by effectively shutting down their entire air defense system: they were worried that rebel Egyptian forces
would shoot down the plane carrying Field Marshal Amer and Lt-Gen. Sidqi Mahmoud, who were en route from al Maza to Bir Tamada in the Sinai to meet the
commanders of the troops stationed there. In this event it did not make a great deal of difference as the Israeli pilots came in below Egyptian radar cover and well
below the lowest point at which Egypt's SA-2 surface-to-air missile batteries could bring down an aircraft.
