Did you happen to get the registration of the F50?
We had several F50s flying to here where i live in Geraldton Western Australia until only a few years ago. They were operated by Skywest Airlines which was acquired by Virgin Australia who then sold off all the F50s, to my knowledge, to mostly African airlines. I know at least some are definitely operating out of Kenya now.
Im curious to know if the aircraft is one of the old girls that used to fly here.
The Fokker 50 is a beautiful aircraft and has a very special place in my heart.

Had you been on a Fokker F. 27 which is the earlier model with the Rolls-Royce Dart engines then you'd really have a nice flight on a loud airplane especially where you were seated. The Fokker 50 that you're on isn't all that old considering some of the Fokker F. 27 you could have been on might have been 10 to 15 years older than your plane.
I've never flown on the Fokker 50 as I am from the United States, I have flown on the Fokker F. 27 but would love to ride on the 50. I would like to to log the type in my book just not in Africa.

Entering a runway with take-off clearance while continuing to roll is a good way to achieve maximum performance. This Fokker sat at the end of the runway and then had to dial in power and prop settings before brakes were released. Oh well.

Must've been over 20 years since I last flew on a Fokker 50 (with KLM. They sure made use of every inch of the runway for take-off there: . The wheel bearings looked a bit loose to me.

Ha, I loved the mind your head sign! Have you done videos on any jet Fokkers, the 28, 70, or 100? I found this while looking for the F28.

Fokker is what Noel shouted out when he saw the plane lift off right at the end of the run. That's more than a little scary.

What is your main point of flying on those Airplanes rather than disgracing Africa, why don't you do something useful?

If you had known what you learned after researching the airlines would you still have taken the flight?

I would love to know what type and brand suitcase you use. It has to be sturdy to hold up for your trips.

30 year olds Airliner? Big deal! Half of the airliners flying in the world are more than 25 years old.
