Vanaf heden is het
weer mogelijk om Fokker Nieuws te publiceren. Helaas is Frans van Zelm nog niet
in staat dit te doen, maar het aanbod dat wij kregen van
Hans Hoffmann om het voorlopig over te nemen, hebben wij natuurlijk met beide
handen aangegrepen.
Wij zouden het daarom zeer op prijs stellen dat, wanneer u nieuws en/of foto's
van Fokker heeft, dit nu te sturen naar: fokkernews@gmail.com.
After some months’ interruption, Fokker News is up and running again. Our
long-term editor Frans van Zelm is still unable to process updates due to his
medical condition, but the AIRnieuws editors are happy to announce that Hans
Hoffmann will take over the Fokker News section for the time being.
Please send your updates and pictures to
fokkernews@gmail.com.
The Fokker Fleetlist will be regulary updated with news and/or pictures. Please be advised to check this section frequently!
This page contains recent owner & operator changes and other related news to the individual airframes of Fokker F27 (including Fokker 50 & Fokker 60) and Fokker F28 (including Fokker 70 & Fokker 100). Also the Fairchild models F-27 and FH-227 are part of the
Fokker Fleetlist
.
The airframes are printed in chronological order.
For reactions on the contents or sharing news updates please contact the editor:
fokkernews@gmail.com
Note: when an update has been made to the previous publication, the registration in the 4th column is changed into
blue.
Rectification:
The photo of the Jetways F50 that was shown in the previous edition (5Y-JWZ,
20208) appears to be a manipulated picture, probably an artist’s impression of a
possible future livery. In reality the aircraft is white with black titles only. |

MAYAir has taken delivery of their second F50, XA-UZN (20106). The aircraft was

Sol del Paraguay was a short-term Fokker user; the airline planned to fly with 4
F100 aircraft, but only 3 have been in service. The airline ceased operations in
2012 and two of the aircraft were subsequently purchased by hotels in the
country as publicity objects. This airframe (11304, ZP-CJK) is currently in use
as a bar in the garden of the Hotel y Granja Doña Ramonita in Coratei, Paraguay.
Officially it is registered as N795JM with Jet Midwest Group LLC in Wilmington,
DE, USA, but even if this registration has ever been applied to the aircraft, it
has expired. The F100 carries the Paraguayan registration from its active
period.
(Hotel y Granja Doña Ramonita website, accessed 211217)

The other remaining F100 in Paraguay is preserved as a luxury restaurant at the
Hotel del Rancho, Loma Grande, Paraguay as ZP-CFL (11348). For unknown reasons
it carries "American Flight School Ciac N° 011” and "Te Amo Luana" titles and a
Mickey Mouse figure. Like the sistership, it is officially registered as N798JM
of Jet Midwest and also this registration is expired. (Hotel del Rancho,
Facebook site, accessed 271217) |

Apart from the entire Fokker fleet from Austrian Airlines, Alliance Airlines has
recently acquired the former M-Jet F100 OE-IIC (11406). It was photographed with
its new Australian registration VH-VIF shortly after arrival down under.
(Christopher Chai, Brisbane, December 20, 2017) |
|
Another new addition to the Alliance Airlines fleet, this time VH-FGB (11446) in
a special livery. It commemorates the first trans-Pacific flight from Oakland
(California) to Brisbane with stops at Hawaii and Fiji in 1928. The captain was
Charles Kingsford Smith. Legend tells that the crew was very thirsty after the
flight and celebrated their safe arrival with a couple of beers and Kingsford
Smith considered it a “Fokking Good Beer”. Hence the out-of-range registration
for this Fokker 100.
(Matt Varley, Norwich, December 24, 2017).
TUS Airways has bought 4 Fokker 70’s from KLM Cityhopper. The first one of the

December 19, 2017)
