| Fokker Spin flies again In dutch, but nice to see: Fokker technicians made Fokkers first creation (1910) fly again. in this case the 1936 replica, displayed at the Aviodrome museum. YouTube - Anthony Fokker en zijn SPIN 1936

| It does look like fun, I just like to have a little metal around me in case something goes wrong.
