Airco DH-2 WW-1 Fighter (FSX)

The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat biplane "pusher" aircraft which operated as a fighter during the First World War. It was the second pusher design by Geoffrey de Havilland for Airco. The DH.2 was the first effectively armed British single-seat fighter and enabled Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilots to counter the "Fokker Scourge" that had given the Germans the advantage in the air in late 1915. Until the British developed an interrupter gear to match the German system, pushers such as the DH.2 and the F.E.2b carried the burden of fighting and escort duties.

I hope you like the old fighter, thanks very much for your visit!

GREETZ!:)

Open cockpit and all. I cannot imagine what it would be like to fly one of those not to mention in combat. Well done! :pilot:

Not bad for a young airman and such an old aircraft! ;). Now I might have that reversed??:eek:

Ahh, going back to your roots, I see. :rolleyes: If you compare that to our Challenger ultralight, things haven't changed all that much.

We added a nose gear, lost the bottom wing and the gun (as far as you know) but the configuration is basically the same. :pilot: -- Bob

Nice to see your DH-2 Jan. A good flight and pretty pics. of it. With that bright paint they sure were not going to sneak up on anyone. :cool: :cool: :D

Talk about a great forward view! Fun post!

You look at the vintage aircraft and you wonder how it could stay in the air..... Enjoyed looking at all the screenshot!!!!!!!!!

David, Charlie, Larry, Bob, Blair and John, thanks for your comments :):):):):)

 

Charlie: don't talk this way to a trusted friend! :mad:

 

I think it was difficult to shoot this bird down, not much to shoot at....

Strange hat atop the upper wings! :):)

As far as I know it's the fuel tank.....:) You have strange hat yourself! :mad:

C'est un béret, monsieur! :mad: My hat's off to you for flying that rickety old thing. But then, it takes one to fly one. :rolleyes: -- Bob

I've seen some recent vids about a Canadian guy, who does the same in the real world on a regular base today.....:eek::eek::rolleyes:

You have strange hat yourself!

 

How do you know that? Wear a hat only in summer. By winter i'm having a Norwegian hunter cap :):)

I would love to see you wearing a hat in summer! Feel free to post a pic here. ;):D Oh, and I don't care if you wear a hat or not, or when you wear a hat. OK? but never say that anything on me, or on one of my beautiful planes, is strange! Yes? Just a warning. :eek::rolleyes: I don't know what "PAH" is in French, but here's your PAH! TSK!

Pah could be in French,'oui, oui, oui, oui!'

Hereunder is my summer hat. I'm not below as that's not summer :):)

 

Very swave and deboner, Gérard. Please exsqueeze my French!:)

Hey, mrzippy! If you mean cool, I will agree!

Hey, mrzippy! If you mean cool, I will agree!

That Zippy all over! :p

 

Have fun, all!
