Lou- Sounds like a Fokker Triplane and one reason they had wingtip skids.
Sunday evening on our way home from Monterey IMSA races @ 5500. I've never driven the course but it sure looks like a power course from the air. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Similar, but their 'AF-1' has the coat of arms on the tail, not the Russian flag. All operated by Rossiya.
I knew two pilots that flew the SP, one PAA and one UAL, and they loved it. They said that it was an overgrown fighter and one admitted to wanting to try a roll.
Not exactly flying per se...but I thought it was cool to see the reversers. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Taken during my rotary transition... This is flying back to HNL from Barbers Point where I went to practice autos. Recovery was back over Ford Island and the USS Arizona Memorial is visible at the mid-left of the photo. The oil streak in the water is Arizona bleeding as she has since she went down 07DEC41. A somber, albeit brief, moment. The photo continues to stir... Image Unavailable, Please Login

Cool! Congrats! Dayum! She almost looks like she's got more engines than seats..... Great looking plane. Cheers, Ian
Some wag suggested the 146 looked like nothing so much as an old lady carrying 4 heavy bags of shopping.... I happen to agree! (((-; cheers all. M
