Are you a pot head Fokker?

He should have built BBQs into the planes. Spitfire-roasted BBQ. Amen.

Pffbt, subby. It just wouldn't have been the same without the swimming pool walls.

If he brought those tio texas, he could have made millions from BBQ in a plane....

/BBQ is serious business here in texas
//BBQ that was made from inside a plane would blow Texas natives minds

UNC_Samurai: von Richthofen

From Wikipedia: "Despite the popular link between Richthofen and the Fokker Dr. I, only 19 of his 80 kills were made in this type. It was his Albatros D.III Serial No. 789/16 that was first painted bright red, in late January 1917, and in which he first earned his name and reputation."

I want a replica D.VII.
 
2011-08-07 03:43:32 PM
For not much more effort he could have built a functional replica. There's not that much to a WWI era plane.

Just to let you know, it was most likely an Australian machinegunner on the ground who kill The Red Baron.

Just to let you know, Red Baron frozen pizza isn't as good as Tombstone. But, it does have Tom Selleck as its mascot. Which is nice.

Anyone remember the version of the Royal Guardsmen song that had Snoopy farting in the grocery store?

Also, awesome replica. I'd like to grow up to be the cool old guy that he is, instead of the syphilitic schizophrenic hurling curses at the sun on the street corner with his pants around his head that I know I'll end up being.

A steely thousand yard stare? That makes no sense at all

Thousand-yard stare is a phrase originally coined to describe the limp, unfocused gaze of a battle-weary warrior. The idea that somebody has a steely limp unfocused gaze is rather dense.

My guess, you have no idea what "thousand yard stare" means.

The photo of Richthofen does show a man with a steely gaze, but nothing of a thousand yard stare.

Why build one out of junk that isn't flyable when for the same amount of effort you can build a real, full sized flying version that you can use to terrorize the local Cessna pilots with?

Cost isn't that much an issue, because you can buy the parts kits piecemeal and assemble them as you get them, and you get to swagger around the local airport with a leather helmet, goggles, and a scarf, making fun of just about everyone.
