Uneven run on new 80 hp LeRhone engine leaves the Fokker Triplane in a precarious position at the Pioneer Flight Museum in Kingsbury Texas. Veteran pilot pulls off excellent landing in spite of surging power.

  • Keen observation! I hadn't even noticed it. That little Fokker is the weather vane on the top of the main hangar. It shows nicely in some of my other videos such as at 1:01 in "Why Not Land Your Fokker Triplane in a Crosswind?"

  • Great video thanks for posting. That was a fast landing.......

  • I know it's immature but I cant help but laugh when I see comments like "That little Fokker" and "Superb litter Fokker". But really, those little WW1 fighters are pretty cool. I love the sound of the rotary.

  • Superb little fokker

  • All rotaries sound like that. The pilot was using the coupe' button to reduce power... no throttle. the 80 hp is too low for the DR 1, she really needs 110 hp to get the most out of the machine. A Sopwith pup would have been a good choice or a Newport Bebe.

  • @vintagepropnut o.k....now it makes all the sense....looks funny because sembles a flying plane in the background...so there's a sudden sensation that the two poor helpers in the ground are flying tied to the cockpit...!,..tanks

  • what's the mistery about a small fokker which pops up over the left wing at 1:39?....it's static, otherwise could be another fokker over the field, but the little plane simply comes out and disappears...?...!...?

  • im in love

  • Oh my...

  • How I envy youuuuuu!!!! Good job men!!
