- The 2022 Fokker Scourge Fly-In was held Sept. 3 & 4, 2022 at the Golden Age Air Museum in Bethel, PA. The main attraction of the show was three Fokker triplane reproduction aircraft with original WWI rotary engines. A fourth Warner-powered triplane reproduction was also featured. I documented the weekend with video, still photos, and interviews.
Come along for the ride here in part 2, and don't forget to check out parts 1 and 3 also!

Fascinating, I admire their commitment and zeal - but most of all, the fruits of their labor of love. Incredible planes, revived for the world to see.
How wonderful... The dedication, skill and love put into these reproductions is remarkable. Thanks to all involved.
"Working on it for years" ! lol I am sure he has never stopped working on it.
When you have beautiful engine sounds you don't need music.
Just watched a Greg's airplanes episode on Fokker - he started the American company that became North American. P-51, X-15, etc. What a lineage from these WW1 classics
WONDERFUL vid....where do the uniforms come from? and could that guy Possibly be any more Serious?!?! lol
Greatly appreciate the filming and interview with Fred Murrin. Great photography!
Fred is a walking encyclopedia of WWI aviation knowledge.
Very nice film, well done!
thank you
Thank you for posting
🇧🇷 nunca mencionam a envergadura da fuselagem e asa dessas maravilhas??
Well done Russell!
Thank you.!
As far as the paint scheme. I was under the impression that these first two triplane were painted the light blue and then over painted with the dark green. This differers from the production aircraft that had the over streaking of dark green over the neutral fabric finish of the doped fabric. Thanks.
Really fantastic, thanks for publishing the video.
Amazing!!!
Really good stuff but what about the high speed pass without the bloody music. We want to hear all those 80 horses let loose.

I didn't know there was a F1 prototype. I once read about a German Airforce pilot named Voss Stoker and he was hired by Fokker to test pilot one of the very first DR1'S and flew one in WWI. He died in a DR1. Do you have any info on Voss Stoker? I have his memory of him and his paint scheme of his DR1. His DR1 was painted white & sky blue checkered fuselage with a light blue under carage, white rudder, white stabilizer with light blue under carage and sky blue top & light blue under wings and landing gear. Also a white crowling.
These robot commercials represent the absolute zero in human goofiness
I say really!
I hate it when I tune into a music video and hear airplane engines.
Where do they get the rotary engines? I haven't heard of anyone producing them. I plan on building a Fokker Dr1 replica too, but I have no idea where to get a rotary engine. Russel, if you know where the get them, please tell me.
These are original WWI engines
@@russellsmithstudios930 What? Where do they get them? I thought there were none left.
There are no known Oberusels, but there are original LeRhones floating around.
@@russellsmithstudios930 What's an Oberusel?
@@okbuddyretard The Oberusel was the German rotary engine of WWI. It was a cheap copy of the Allied rotaries. It was unreliable.
