Gord McNulty submitted this photo and note: “The replica World War I aircraft of Canada’s Great War Flying Museum impressed aviation fans in 2025 at Brampton-Caledon Airport, just northwest of Toronto. In the foreground of this photo from Airport Day in September is the museum’s Nieuport 28 replica, painted in the colors of the American Air Service 94th Aero Squadron with the “hat in the ring” scheme representing serial 6159 as flown by Eddie Rickenbacker. The museum, established in 1970 to honor World War I aviators, has six aircraft in its fleet, with another one under construction.”
