Fokker S-11

[Chaseplane]

Well, not really a warbird as such, as the Fokker S-11 "Instructor" first flew in December 1947. But this looked like the best spot to put pictures of it. This trainer of Dutch origin has been produced for the Airforces of the Netherlands (and later used by the Navy as well), Italy, Israel and Brazil. Production totalled just over 100. Nowadays, still a lot of these cute little machines can be found in The Netherlands, but the type is almost unknown abroad.

The two machines shown below are flown by the display team "Fokker Four".

Another Dutchie S-11  . Brand new landing gear legs are currently developed, produced and tested on Service Centre Woensdrecht (LCKLu). These new "knees" will eliminate the problem of low availability of these parts.

Logically followed by another Dutch S-11.1...

... but the type is almost unknown abroad.

At least one has gone abroad.    This Instructor (US FAA registration N911J) was in attendance at the CAF's AirSho, Midland, TX, Sept 08.
