Reg should be F-GFKJ.

Photo is made by French Frogs Aviation Pictures.

Looks better on a DC-3 if you ask me. (PH-PBA if I'm not mistaken)
Although I like the way they painted the registration in retro-size as well.

Well, that's a surprise. I thought that was only on the PH-PBA. Is the F-AZTE owned by the French counterpart of the DDA? And are these 2 collaborating in this project of half-painted DC-3s?

No, not quite. They both get paid by Air France/KLM to fly in this colours.

Here is a video (in French) of the aircraft painting, found on Air France website:

They have both been painted like this for more than 2 years now...
F-AZTE had even been painted as "PH-PBA" on the KLM side until the Dutch Government's Inspectie Luchtvaart intervened. The two DC-3's are easily distinguishable (apart from the lack of "PH-PBA" now on the French one) by the fact that F-AZTE has a big red beacon on top of the tail and PH-PBA hasn't.

Sorry Marco.. Here is the English part:

Perhaps it is just a bit off-topic. So, moderator feel free to edit :)

I have drawn the plane in paint, that is why it might look unprofessionel

I hope we could see something like this at Schiphol
