    Default From AOPA - largest rotary Fokker Tripe reunion since WWI



    Thought y'all might enjoy this, from this morning's AOPA Aviation eBrief. Old Rhinebeck even sent their Pup with a rotary to join the fun.

    Great video.
    Thanks for posting.

    Really good to see DB - in 2012 Vintage Aviator in NZ put 7 Fok DR.1's in the air, though some of them may have radial lumps in, they have plenty of other types with rotaries though..

    Great sight. Thanks for sharing.

    I wonder how much performance the Tripes lost using the 80hp engines, since it originally used a 110hp.
