Not to worry, I have misplaced whole airplanes & airports… You’re good. 
Full-size replica Nieuport 28 didn’t sell on eBay.
Now that’s a pretty airplane. The kit costs about $13,000 I think. The engine (which is a radial and not a rotary) cost $19,500 in 2005. Here’s video of one like it in flight. It purportedly can be built in 400 hours or so in a single-car garage. But what I’d really like is a full-size SPAD…
Homebuilts. Just another aspect of General Aviation. 
For most people, it will end up looking a lot like this.
Pretty bad if they’re building a Niewport. Everyone knows Snoopy flew a Sopwith Camel!
Yeah, but it all depends on design of the garage. Here’s a homebuilt version of the Fokker Triplane.
Ah! The airplane is inside.
That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this Triplane will have to have a great deal of gas?
I think you’re supposed to pick one of the three doors. Before you get to see if the airplane is behind that door, you are shown that it isn’t behind one of the other two doors, and then you get to change your choice (to the remaining door) or stick with the door you chose first. If you finally choose the right door, you get the airplane.

No, a sheep. 
I would settle for Carol Merrill in her prime.
Back to actual flying… (at least in theory…)
I am not in a position to resume flying on a regular basis, nor do I anticipate recreating that happy state of affairs in the foreseeable future, BUT -
I still want to fly.
So, CFI’s - how often do you get someone who shows up totally non-current with just enough bucks for an hour (with you as babysitter), itchy to hold the controls again but not able to spend the money to get current.
Yeah, basically a ride where I get to [del]drive[/del] fly.
Is that totally outrageous? Maybe for my birthday?
I’ve had that happen a few times. If that’s what you’d like for your birthday, why not?
Why not, indeed? I’ll have several months to save for it, starting now…
Just feel a bit odd, to show up saying “I haven’t flown in four years, and can only afford one hour” but I guess we all understand the aviation itch, don’t we?
There will surely be enough gas for it. It is a very small triplane.
But not very aerodynamic.
Is your medical current?
Oddly, I’ve never heard the Rotec 9 cylinder running and I’m sure I’ve seen one of these replicas at a fly in. Count me intrigued.
No.
Doesn’t matter if you’re taking instruction. So there’s another reason to go for it!
