Re: 100th Anniversary of the Red Baron's Death

Today I saw a red Coast Guard helicopter flying over Waldport,Oregon where I live. I said to myself that's the 'Red Baron'! I am not so sure why all Coast Guard helicopter are painted mostly red. By the way,the Fokker Dr. I which Manfred von Richthofen crashed to his death was not painted all red at all. I think under the three wings of his triplane were painted sky blue to match the color of the blue sky. Manfred von Richthofen was born in May of 1892,126 years ago.
