Fokker Triplane

  1. Bruce Dickinson, of Iron Maiden fame, is rated to fly all types of planes up to and including a 747-400. He owns a Fokker Triplane and has said that it is like trying to fly a bookcase. Still looks fun as hell though!

  2. Hi C.W.,
    Interestingly enough, the Barron himself said after he flew the Fokker D-VIII the mono plane.."This is the one!!!" So, maybe he thought the Dr-1 flew like a book case too??

  7. The best reason to have one of those would be to live in Belgium, and get up every morning before dawn to take it on a morning patrol over Meuse-Argonne, taunting the French.
