American Airlines will buy 150 Fokker planes and 35 Boeing airliners as part of its aggressive campaign to replace its aging fleet.

On January 27, 2011, a Fokker 27 plane on test flight departing Wilson Airport failed to take off and ran through the perimeter fence into a maize field.

The airstrip can accommodate the Fokker planes only, because the landing strip is too short for modern aircraft to land and take off.

The German soldiers and the German populace below paid no attention to him, for he was just another Fokker plane winging overhead.

He said he "represented a group of associates who would operate four Fokker passenger-carrying planes on regular schedule."

The plane was similar to Fokker's V.VII-3m, and some say that Ford's engineers surreptitiously measured the Fokker plane and then copied it.
