The Fokker D7, and SPAD 13 are my favorite two WWI aircraft.. What a beautiful plane..
Got to see this in person and watch it fly at Dawn Patrol, great video!
I am aware of only about 8 full size reproductions flying in the USA.
There are a few overseas.
1) Tim Plunkett's N18FK flying out of Spruce Creek Florida. It has a Gipsy 175 engine.
2) Jerry Yagen has N1918P built by Byron Peterson. It has an inverted 200hp Ranger
3) Jerry Yagen has N1918F built by Fred Berg. It has a 6 cylinder Hall Scott engine.
4) Andrew Parks has N18852 built by his father in Colorado. It has an inverted 20 hp Ranger
5) Rhinebeck, NY has N70814 which has an original Mercedes engine.
6) My plane N7756J out of Geneseo NY. It has an inverted 200 hp Ranger
7) Kermit Weeks N269ZW out of Polk Fla. It has a reproduction Mercedes but I don't think it has flown it's Maiden flight yet.
8) Roger Freeman's N5118F has a Gipsy 30 but I don't think it has had it's maiden flight yet either.
If there are other full size reproductions out there (in the US) I'd like to hear more about them.
Thank you for posting this.
I personally find it fascinating, and have the highest regard for people like yourself and the owner who help keep history alive.
Fabulous! Saw it OSH, regret not getting any photos of it. Thank you!
Saw it at Oshkosh and took a few dozen pictures. The attention to detail was great.
Awsome video!!!! Love those vintage aircraft and the Brave pilots that flew them!!

Gorgeous plane! 3:52 - Did someone forget to secure that triangle flap?
The 1982-83 mecha anime _Chou Jikyu Yosai Makuros/Super Dimension Fortress Macross_ features a young pilot named Ichijyo Hikaru who supposedly flew Fokker D.VII's in airshows with his mentor Roy Focker, also a military pilot (Ep.1). When Hikaru joined the military and was put in a hospital, Roy visited him and gave him a D.VII model to build and pass the time during recovery (Ep.18).
A de Havilland Gypsy engine in a Fokker 7, that's either a diplomatic triumph or a subtle act of defiance from the Anglo world to the Germanic 😂
On that takeoff, it's being watched by an f-18... menacingly parked in the back.
How do you fly into Oshkosh without a radio? Or does it have a radio hidden somewhere?
Is Peter Jackson showing up for this? He's supposed to own several original aircraft.
Late moddels had bmw engines
