Homage to 2 great Fokker Triplane pilots,Werner Voss(cowling face art)and Paul Baumer <then>national tricolours of red,white and black. Also the Jasta 6 tailplane stripe markings 😉👍🏻

Awesome! Thanks for posting

Hey, it is called a "touch" and go. You touched. 10/10!

A beautiful thing, like a dragonfly, so alien now. I imagine the pilots were as terrified by it as those they attacked in the air and on the ground. It looks like it could fall to pieces at any moment, and probably would.

BEAUTIFUL PLANE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My grandfather served in the 325th as an ambulance driver, and my grandmother was a nurse - France, WWI. This is great footage to see!!!!

i think the original did not get far as the required engine was in sort supply, and the competition , the fw189 uhu was expected to cost less. Also maybe the govt like Fock-wulf as Kurt Tank was a very dedicated nazi

I got to see this too and it was spectacular! Never thought I would ever get to see any of this work in person! I treasure all my pictures. This was so worth it!

SOD THAT ???g

SOUNDS Great !!!😁It TOOK Balls Of STEEL to Fly IT ???LET alone FIGHT In it !!!g

Beautiful!!

Ya que se tomo el tiempo de filmar, hubiera mostrado más de como esta construido, el interior del habitáculo cosa que nunca se muestra en los vídeos, como está construido el tren de aterrizaje, otra cosa que nunca muestran y que es muy importante, igual que el sistema de comandos, y el motor por supuesto,..todas esas cosas importantes la mayoria nunca las muestran......

It's called a low-level pass.

Thanks, now I know what to avoid on my everyday commute!

That silver plane is one beautiful piece of aircraft..

"Great landing..." No, it was SUPERB!

Marvelous! I've been researching WW1 ambulances and working on some scale models of them - it's great to see yours running!

In WWI the aerodromes were set up as square fields. The pilots took off and landed directly into the wind no matter the direction. Much easier to do the take-off and landings like that when the distance is only a few hundred feet compared to 2,000ft in a WWII fighter. It was really a simple solution to the problem.

That looks like the Cpt. Olsen Jenny in Waldo Pepper.

It’s a real Triumph, oil leaks and all.

That was beautiful. I know they catch a draft on one side or the other and with the lift it can pitch it over so landings and takeoffs were common for accidents, so I know how risky that touch and go was in "that" plane. I've had a life long obsession with that plane, and this was just glorious. Thanks for sharing.

Great flying!!!

Seems a plane with that amount of lift and "slow" speed can land just about anywhere. Why crosswind?

Awesome

Para mí uno de los mejores aviones de la primera guerra mundial saludos dios los bendiga

So enjoyed finding and seeing this. I am particularly interested since this is, in many ways, a predecesor to the AMC cars from the mid 60's that I have and drive today. I'd been looking for where one of there were for a long time. Great to see.

I supose this is an imitation of Lt. Werner Voss' paint scheme on his Fokker triplane (judging from the face on the engine front). In fact he flew "Fok FI 103/17", the third aircraft built. So the "Bestellnummer" (order number) partly visible is wrong, like the black-white-red diagonal fuselage band. The camouflage scheme is wrong too. The base color should be pale blue.

Very neat truck its pretty incredible have 4 wd but then add 4 wheel steering, I had no clue these trucks were that advanced when they were built. Was the engine in this truck built by Buda?

Actually it's not a radical engine but rather a rotary Strong gyroscopic effect

That guy in the purple shirt is a wimp punk.

Beautiful Artistic Glass Sculpture's

Finally a target for my sopwith camel!!! Ahem I mean wow nice aeroplane!

That's what wing skids are for. Also, I love vintage aircraft maintenance: "well we'll just bend it back!"

Crosswinds are a motherfokker in those things!

They are 4plane. 4th wing small one.

Beautiful airplane.

My favorite plane! Love the face on the cowl, just like Werner voss's dr-1 from ww1!

Perfect landing!

112 years ago.....1909

Love the Werner Voss paint scheme.

Maybe we're seeing one of the reason why no original Fokkers survived. Not enough rudder!

I would be a little terrified to even sit in the cockpit of a WW1 plane, amazing how people got on these and flew them safely

"It's not getting full power. Did you see how long it took me to get off the ground?" It's an 80hp engine, what do you expect? They were considered underpowered in 1917 with 110hp Oberursels (German licensed le Rhones). And what's up with that landing? I've seen airplanes with nose wheels pull more of a flare than that.

The airplane was designed and entered service as the Fokker F1. The first was given to Manfred von Richton (the Red Baron) and the second to Warner Voss (Germany's second leading ace at the time). The primary difference between that plane and the Fokker Dr1 was the "are handle" wing tip skids. And now you know why they were added.

Yeah, during World War One they didn't runways. They had Aerodromes which were big fields and they had wind socks and planes took off and landed into the wind. Pilots liked morning patrols because the wind was either still or steady. Afternoon brought gusts, and wind sheer and changes of direction and so planes took on more damage.

Thanks for posting . Beautiful plane

The 1926-1927 Model T Sedans were the heaviest body for the Model T engine, I was surprised it could even get up to 40 mph. But this massive thing changes my perception on the tiny 20 hp engine...

Beautiful plane and a fine landing

A real Fokker Triplane??? How real....

It’s more likely than you think.
