At my 5th of age, mid 90' travelling from ujungpandang (makassar) to sorong irian jaya with merpati airlines, 2.5 hours flight with turbulence and thunderstorm at roughly 30.000ft this magnificent F28 stood still and dancing with the weather while my parents are start praying all over the way, and I'm just smiling admire the thunder that struck the wingtips, laughing with the turbulence and landed safely at sorong jefman airport, I step down the plane and staring it back while saying thank you for giving me the fun ride that I will never forget. if only I could turn back the time...

Not just Fokker, but Aseman, as well. I am a completely immature 38 year-old.

Air Niugini has 13 Fokker units,6 Fokker 70's,7 Fokker 100's.. Worked as flight attendant on F100 doing regional flights and loved it ..

My brother worked for Fokker until bankruptcy. I have flown on a Fokker 100 from Amsterdam to Geneva in the early 2000's and I could see why he was so proud of the jet when it first came out. The smoothest ride ever.

I was one of the first line Captains on the F100 for American Airlines. Loved flying that little jet (I retired on the B777). We had a Fokker rep and a Rolls Royce rep sitting in first class on every leg for a few months to ensure a smooth rollout. Unfortunately, Fokker delivered the first planes behind schedule and the initial cadre of mechanics who'd trained for the jet had a job run bid cycle come up and many bid to more senior slots that took them off the F100. That put a huge crimp in maintenance during the initial introduction of the plane for AA, and the Fokker rep was busy nearly every time we were on the gate giving OJT to AA maintenance personnel. The Rolls rep just sat in his comfy seat and sipped tea. It was a great airplane that AA management had no idea how to properly deploy in the market. Fun to fly, very well built aircraft, and they were brand new!

One of my favorite airplanes of all time. Beautiful and efficient, flew them many times. A shame not a single mention or photo of TAM on the video, though. The airline was the second largest operators of F-100, completely boosting TAM`s position in Brazilian market and reshaping our industry. Their original 90s livery on the Fokker were also hot as hell.

I flew on them many times in Brazil and Mexico. It was a very comfortable ride. Sadly, after TAM's 1996 crash, many people refused to travel on the F-100

The wings of Fokkers were made by Short Brothers in Belfast They produced 241 F28 main wings ; 283 for the F100 and 48 for the F70 .Fokker produced the outer wings for the Shorts 330/360 which along with the Skyvan variants were the highest volume produced UK commercial aircraft since 1945 with 496 sold -outselling even the Vickers Viscount total of 444.

I flew on it with KLM and loved it. Very comfortable aircraft.

These Fokkers always rolled smoothly over the runways.

IMO one of the best aircraft out there, the design looks and feels perfect for a rear engine aircraft, and the engine has one of the most outstanding sound in the aircraft universe.

I flew several times in these around the 2000´s and it was always a pleasant experience; Click Mexicana used the Fokker 100 for its regional routes in Mexico.

A favourite aircraft for me. Ideal for travel inside Europe. Many Fokker flights in and out of Manchester to Holland and Germany.

TAM, a Brazilian airline (now LATAM), had a fleet of 50 Fokker 100. They were very competitive and very popular for regional flights. In 2002, they were all replaced by Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

I don't remember flying on an F100, but I did fly on a KLM F70 a couple of times. Great regional jet, was sad to see them retired.

This vid seems hastily made since it was more than just another plane but revolutionary for its important novelties alike large parts of the wings being glued and the massive introduction of flight electronics. Could say that Airbus continued on this. Together with its supreme built quality those are key reasons for the machine still flying around in a considerable number.

Used to fly regularly on a F28 on Air Burkina in the mid-80s having first flown on Somali Airlines Fokker Friendship several years earlier!

I flew on a Fokker 70 once. It was owned by my company (Ford Motor Co) for transporting employees to various facilities on a scheduled basis, and was arranged with an all-business-class (2-2 seating) layout. It was a very comfortable aircraft, smooth, and seemed well-built.

Enjoyed flying on them. Had the softest landing I've experienced on a jet, it kissed the runway.

I've flown on the Fokker 100 in Australia and Papua New Guinea, Alliance air and Air Niugini respectively. An awesome little aircraft.

Great regional jet, very cockpit for its time. Also flown in AA F100 from DFW to Monterrey MX in 2003. Last time was in Avianca, CNF-CGH, c.2010. Lot's of good memories aboard F100s. Thanks for posting another great video! Cheers from Brazil.

Flew Fokker 70/100 for 14 years. Love and miss it! Very pilot friendly aircraft.

Flew captain on these for a couple of years for AA. In Texas we called it the Dutch Oven due to the weak air conditioning system. It was also so slow that controllers had to vector you all over the place to keep you from being run over by just about every other jet type out there. We used to joke that Fokker had to install protective screening at the back of the engines to protect them from fast flying geese. Just a few of my memories.

I have thousands of hours as an F-100 Captain. It was a nice flying aircraft. The Speed brake in the tail was very effective for getting down and slowing down. The avionic where good. Love the tape engines gauges. Never understood why more aircraft don't use them. Very easy to read. The air conditioning was horrible! The air source was in the engines in the tail of the aircraft. The air conditioning packs were under the cockpit in the nose of the aircraft ( Which made the cockpit extremely noisy! ) The outflow valve was in the wheel well which resulted in almost zero air flow in the back half of the aircraft. On short duration flights on hot days it was impossible to cool the cabin down to a comfortable level. I picked up an aircraft one hot summer day. One of the inbound flight attendants was being carried off suffering from heat stroke. The aircraft could be down right dangerous in winter conditions. With no leading edge devices the wing was very vulnerable to loss of lift with even the tiniest amount of contamination. The radar also left a lot to be desired. If you get in very light precipitation it would attenuate badly and not show returns more than about 15 miles ahead of you. All in all, I was very happy when I was able to bid off the F-100.

In early 1989 I flew in one of Swissair’s new F100s from Rome to Zürich. I’d assumed it was a Mad Dog till I read the safety card. Complicated journey from Trivandrum to London…. Later that year I flew Edinburgh-Stavanger in an F27 - lovely big windows! The F50 was no doubt more efficient, but I preferred the big windows and whistling Darts of the original. I once flew from London to Lyon via Marseille in an F28: the direct Lyon flight had been cancelled because of a a cracked window on the other F28. So I’ve flown all the Fokker jets and turboprops except the F70.

We flew almost exclusively on KLM back in the 80s and through the 90s. I’d always notice the NLM fleet of Fokker planes and wish we had opportunities to fly on them.

I flew on this plane in 2011 from Vienna to St Petersburg, one of my most memorable flights, this cute little Fokker will always have a special place in my heart

Fantastic quiet jet together with the Fokker 70.

They were quite often scheduled on my return flight from Zurich to Manchester (but strangely never on the outbound which was either an A319/320 or an Avro). I really liked them, very much more than the Embraer which replaced them, and with the notable exception (not in a good way - forward loo taken out of service, fittings removed and being used for storage, along with copious use of silicone sealant elsewhere to keep broken items in place) of one which was retired the following week, always immaculately turned out by Helvetic.

I rode the Fokker 70 twice when I was a child. Last of these was a klm cityhopper flight from Amsterdam to Bergen. Since that flight the Fokker Jets have kept a special place in my heart and if things go as planned, I get to learn aircraft maintenance skills on a Fokker 100 and an F28 Fellowship somewhere next year at a local airbase.

Well, I for one am happy I got to fly in the 28 and the 100. It blew my mind how quiet those planes are, that is until you hear the air brake deploying on the 28.

I flew with Asseman from Dubai to Bushehr, it had something nice flying as Dutchman in a dutch plane to Iran. On one occasion there was a sandstorm after some delay the flight took of from Dubai and during the whole flight the only thing visible out of the windows was the color of sand. Shortly before landing the captain made an announcement in farsi, no idea what he said but the people started praying. The next you could feel was that the plane landed, the view from the window wasn't changed. Only when arriving at the terminal we could see the groundcrew applauding with their hands in the air. Till this day I rather fly in an old F100 than an 737max

I really liked the F70 an d F100. My former employer used the for al very long time. I especially remember the no-flaps take-off which at first seemed rather weird, but it worked well The pilots loved it. Also cool was the aerodynamic brake at the rear.

Great user name 😉. Flew these for 21 years! They always looked after me.

I took one of the last KLM Fokker70s to Norwich in England and back to Amsterdam in October 2017. Besides it being a fun filled weekend, the Fokker surprised me, when compared to the Embraers and CRJs I had flown on before. It really was a comfortable little racer and I truly enjoyed those flights.

What a very interesting story about the Fokker 100

That plane was so smooth

The F100 was the first aircraft I was checked out on as cabin crew with AirUK. It was a lovely machine to fly on. It had a very light and airy cabin in comparison to our 146s. They climbed like homesick angels, and unusually, the take-offs were flapless (except Aberdeen). Certainly very quiet if you were working the front half of the cabin too. The machine above Amsterdam Schiphol is an ex AirUK one that was absorbed by KLM Cityhopper (G-UKFE as was)

About 10 years ago I worked on a project in the UK. Being from The Netherlands, I flew back and forth a lot. At least one time that was with one of these aircraft, either a Fokker 70 or 100, operated by KLM Cityhopper. However, they were replaced by Embraers, which I flew on on subsequent flights. I think flight attendants preferred the Embraer, and it was more spacious. Still, being a Dutch guy, there was a sense of pride about these Fokkers.

YES, I flew on TAM regional airlines in Brazil. They had the largest fleet in S.A. until they switched to A.B. & Boeing!

I flew in one of these from Dallas, TX to Leon, Mexico on American Airlines back in the late 90s. It was my first international flight segment, now that I think about it.

Never flew on a Fokker 100 but did work there while the first prototype was being built. We used to walk through the factory at lunchtime and have a good look around. This was at the time when the Fokker 50 was also undergoing flight trials. Good times.

I wish Fokker were still around

I got on a US Air flight in Pittsburgh, thinking I was boarding a DC-9 series jet. It was only after I was in my seat and reaching for the safety instructions card on the seat back that I realized it was actually an F-100. It got me to my destination safely though, so I guess I have no complaints.

I loved the f100 so silent. Flew on it in 2016 with Austrian airlines a short Vienna to Graz flight literally 20 mins.

Have checked my passenger flight log, and I have recorded 80 flights in the Fokker 100, first one of which was on board Swissair Fokker 100 HB-IVH from BSL to LHR on 4th April, 1989. Then there have also been 10 flights in Fokker 70s (KLM and Austrian). My last recorded flight was on board KLM Fokker 70 from AMS to FRA on 13 June, 2013. In between I did a lot of commuting between TXL and FKB on Air Berlin. From earlier years I have also logged 10 flights in Fokker F28s.

I have been on one, but never flew on one, nor have I ever been in one. In secondary school, I spent some weeks during my holidays working at the Fokker plant near Schiphol airport. I did cleaning work, mostly offices and other work spaces. One day, I was asked to clean the top of the wings of one of the new aircraft. So that's how I spent some time on (top of the) aircraft.

In the late 1990s the Austrian carrier Tyrolean (later merged with Austrian Airlines) operated the F 100 on flights between VIE and HEL (I worked in Finland at the time, but visited my home country often for holidays or also work). I really enjoyed being a passenger on that route (this was a time, when airlines had not yet all degraded to the ultra low-cost business model). Later, when working in the Netherlands I got to fly on F 100s again a few times on AMS-VIE with KLM, before eventually all these services were operated by Airbus 320-series... I always preferred the AC EFG configuration over ABC EFG, as as a single traveller one had more chance of getting AB all to oneself....

I Flew the Fokker 100 several times in the US. Most remarkable of this jet is the engine noise you hear at the seats in the rear side of the jet. (Or better the lack of noise compared to similar jets) Perfect design I would say.

My favorite Regional Jet, followed by the ERJ 145 and Dornier Do 328.

I flew on KLM‘s Fokker 100‘s and Fokker 50‘s (an development of the F 27 turboprop). The former on route Amsterdam Cardiff and back, the latter on Cologne - Amsterdam route (and back). Both very nice and great aircraft, miss them.
