Inspired by Omag's last post here and a few before and also by some magazine articles, I bring you these. Of course being a Dutchman the only Tri-Motor is the ?Fokker F-VII and it's deriatives. All of these were taken over Indonesia in a Fokker F7 in N.I.L.M liverie ( Nederland-Indische Luchtvaart Maatschappij) Or the Dutch Indies Airlines I hope you like them.

Great shots, they have a nice atmosphere to them, reminds me of Lemoncat's bush flying winner.
