you see so much of Richthofen's plane (maybe the most recognizable aircraft of all time)
So help me - any discussion of Richthofen puts me in mind of Snoopy and his continuing saga against the Red Baron.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

As DXM notes, they didn't call them the Flying Circus for nothing.
He's not pining, he's passed on. This is a late flyboy! He's a stiff! Bereft of life he rests in peace! If you 'adn't nailed him to the cockpit he'd be pushin' up the daisies. He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir immortal. This! Is an ex FLYBOY!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Beautiful plumage paint job...

I really don't like the title "Flyboys."
Yeah, "Flyboys" evokes the World War II era to me more than WWI. Hey, why not just call it "Wings," which was about WWI fliers. They reuse famous old titles all the time.

Because the people expecting Thomas Haden Church and Tony Shaloub would be wicked disappointed?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
On the other hand, the people fearing Stephen Weber and those other people would be wicked relieved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I taught Stephen Webber krav once or twice. Nice enough guy. Short as hell.
