Fokker F28 Fellowship AIRCRAFT BONEYARD @ CYXE Airport 🇨🇦

[@marianitoucha]

Nice video, we have some f28 in our airforce. 1 flying and a 2nd is going and heavy maintenance. Long life to the Fokker.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Which Airforce?

[@marianitoucha]

@@VMCAviationVideos sorry I forgot to mention hehe. Argentinian airforce

Still a little sad how CP folded and their crews & planes scrapped by AC. Can't say I ever enjoyed riding in the back of the F28s but they sure were loved by their pilots. Thanks for posting this.

One of the few aircraft, and companies, that actually made money. I knew pilot who flew these and remember them telling me how economical they were.

Thank you very much!

I'm sure some of you already know that three are being saved. C-FTAV, s/n 11106 (Museum); C-GYCR, s/n 11050 (private); C-GTIZ, s/n 11099 (private). If anyone would be interested in helping the museum bring C-FTAV back on CYQL, please see our video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ29nH-Qp6t9p7s (details in the description).

Great video. I'm currently building a 1/144-scale model of the 'Spirit Of Winnipeg', and the up-close views really help with the details. Thanks!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Glad I could help!

Such a shame to see a lovely aircraft like that being scrapped. They were a great little short haul jet. The only minor problem was they were just so bloody noisy. I use to watch them depart for airports on the east coast of Australia and they would be a good 100 Km's away before you couldn't hear them.

That’s a very sad sight shame one or two could not have been preserved in museums 👍

[@VMCAviationVideos]

3 of these Fokker F28's were bought by someone and hopefully will be preserved.

@@VMCAviationVideos Great Video! Do you know who would be a contact for purchasing one? I have someone interested in utilizing a stripped down airliner. Thanks so much if you have any information!

[@jouniairplanevideos]

Could they be made to flyworthy condition?

[@jouniairplanevideos]

@@flightforensics4523 that's true, live route story. I hope it to. I work on one at school! But its isn't complete. Right wing and tail are cut off. But I love her, also her bigger and younger sister the F100. The Dutch build F16 are way difficult to work on. It has no space at all!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Everything can be made airworthy, it's all about how much money you want to spend to do so.

[@jouniairplanevideos]

@@VMCAviationVideos that's true, but as Dutchman and Fokker fan I hope so.

[@therandomytchannel4318]

If they can fly a restored B17 , they can fly anything 😁

[@wayneschenk5512]

Small brothers to the F100.

[@fireandrose1962]

Does anyone know who owns them? Would be a great camper conversion project!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

One was bought by the Time Air Historical Society [timeairhs.ca]. I don't know who owns the. other ones.
