... Fokker G.1

although i've seen plenty of pics of this awesome plane,
i've never in my whole life seen a video of this beautiful plane
this video features footage of the G.1 beeing prepared for take-off, airborne and from within the plane itself while flying

btw is it just me or do you guys also think it's taking-off pretty steep.

Enjoy the video

P.S. does anyone how i can save this video onto my harddisk i don't seem to be able to do so with right click + save target as.
