Enjoy an unprecedented look inside the cockpit of the Caproni Ca.3r, the world’s only airworthy WWI bomber replica. The Caproni Ca.3 was the first strategic bomber in aviation history. #theaviationist #aeronauticamilitare100 #aeronauticamilitare #italianairforce #caproni #ca3r | The Aviationist

This is beyond epic. Sneak into the cockpit of the Caproni Ca.3 replica, registration I-ZANA, the first strategic bomber in aviation history and the only WWI bomber regularly taking part in airshows, with my friends Daniele Beltrame (@aerogallo) and Fabio Consoli (@fabio_consoli) as they take off and fly over Nervesa della Battaglia in June 2025. The Ca3 prototype made its first flight in 1914 and 111 years later the pilots of the Ca3r wear Horus flight helmets manufactured by @cfhelmets: despit

The Caproni Ca.3r, the world’s largest airworthy WWI replica, taxying after earlier today’s flight during the “Baracca Day” at Nervesa della Battaglia, Italy. Pilots @aerogallo and @fabio_consoli.

You must watch this. Now that the Caproni Ca.3 replica has made its much awaited public appearance at Pratica di Mare airshow, I can share this insane video I was sent by one the pilots @fabio_consoli (the other one is @aerogallo). It shows the first short “hops” during the tests carried out before the take off from the grass runway at Nervesa della Battaglia airfield, in northeastern Italy, on Jun. 8, 2023. It’s pretty impressive isn’t it?? #theaviationist #praticadimare #praticadimareairshow #
