A tribute to the builders of the Fokker Friendship, which first flew fifty years before I took this shot, on 24 November 1955.

Tourists come to Labuhan Bajo, on the western tip of Flores, to see the giant monitor lizards, known as Komodo dragons, on the islands of Komodo and Rinca. I loved the old Fokkers here too.

A mechanic is working on the starboard Dart engine of this old Friendship at a small airport in Flores.

Taxiing in on a hot day. LBJ in Flores was something of a Friendship stronghold, with both GT Air and Merpati still flying F.27s into here in 2005.
