About the Fokker DR-1

The Fokker Dr.I Triplane is one of the most recognisable aircraft ever built — the three-winged WWI fighter forever associated with the Red Baron. Flown today almost entirely as modern replicas (often with a modern radial engine), it is a striking, characterful airshow and enthusiast machine that rewards skilled, current tailwheel handling.

Buying a Used Fokker DR-1

Every Fokker DR-1 faces a mandatory 1,500-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $15,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,500-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
  • Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
