Photos: Fokker Dr.I Triplane in Flight

Air-to-air shots of the WWI fighter replica at Spruce Creek Fly-In.

Look up into the skies above Florida’s Spruce Creek Fly-In and you might be treated to a real blast from the past. Pilot Tim Plunkett took his Fokker Dr.I out for an aerial photoshoot over the weekend, resulting in the shots below. Photographer Gary Rosier took these photos of the World War I fighter replica from inside a Steen Skybolt owned by Plunkett’s neighbor at Spruce Creek.
