Caribbean Rare Birds - World’s Last Fokker + Smallest 3 Engine Plane

[@samanthabrooks7054]

Hi Sam… Captain Kyle of Anguilla Air Services is my younger brother. It has always been his dream to be in the skies so you can say he’s actually living his dream. Kyle can say he has had the privilege to have both perspectives of aviation- that is- being a pilot and also being in air traffic control. Kyle since he was a child has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Upon obtaining a job in air traffic, his admiration for aviation grew and he would go flying in his free time with his now-boss. He later made the decision to further his training and went to flying school. Kyle is a very skilled pilot and everyone that flies with him can attest to his professionalism and the smooth rides. My cousin Josiah who also left a comment on this video is also very interested in flying and watches a lot of these videos and can recite a lot of information about planes. I’m very proud of my brother and I’m happy that he’s living his dream. He is very knowledgeable and it can be evidenced by this very video. Thank you for showcasing my brother and his love for the skies.

[@sirprawiebezgowynic5545]

Your brother is a good airman :)

[@eazydazit]

What a loving big sister you are to Kyle. Your love and how proud you are for your brother oozes from your comment. Lucky brother to have you as a sister

[@citibear57]

Wow, the Trislander is so narrow inside! Sam and the pilot were literally shoulder-to-shoulder!

[@Siah2x_146]

yes very lol

[@mike-ulove2travel]

Hey Sam, Mike here. Nice to see you made it to St Maarten in the Caribbean. My uncle helped design that airport. I hope you had a good time there. I always have a great time when I’m in St Maarten. 🏝️

Wow, that's amazing!

That was a smooth landing in the Fokker!

[@nicksimeone]

I was gonna say that too! Took a bit to get down but it was butterrrrr

[@avroanthonyidris441]

Hi Sam, I flew this typical Fokker 70 back in 2014/2015 with the previous operator in Indonesia (TransNusa). I’m so glad to see this aircraft is still flying! Brings me back some memories! Loved the aircraft very much.

[@ningboflyer3871]

Alliance airlines in Australia still operates a few Fokker 70/100, mostly used for FIFO flights. A small number of the planes operate on behalf of Virgin Australia. Qantas Link also has a few Fokker 100. I flew Alliance Fokker70 from Brisbane to Port Macquarie 4 years ago.

[@sparkymalarky4322]

I used to enjoy it when they would keep the brakes applied and apply full thrust, then get catapulted, good old Focker

[@restlesssoulme]

Yes I recently flew the alliance pink livery BCA recently in remote south Australia.

[@g00nther]

"Let's have some fun, let's go low" 😂 Such a troublemaker Sam Really enjoyed these St. Marteen/Caribbean vids. Amazing scenery. Hope you have more for us.

[@rileytat123]

I recently flew on PJ-JAB from suriname to curacao and back. It's my favorite plane!

[@Chris_In_Texas]

The only Fokker I ever flew on was the Fokker 27 of the US Army Golden Knights back in the 80's. Always fun to get strapped in and sit next to the open door, and watch the team jump out! 🤠👍

[@gamuss1234]

Love the Fokker 70. Was on Malev and KLM Fokker 70 many times! 💪🏼👍🏼

I went to Sxm last year and I saw the Fokker everyday Seeing that Menzies aircraft gave me nostalgic memories

[@Norshuttle97]

The Trislander is just a thing of beauty !

[@jamesshort5682]

Thanks for this Sam. I used to fly on the Fokker 28 on the old Canadian Airlines. It would go from Calgary to Saskatoon and on to Winnipeg. Cheers from Canada.

[@sebinamuwanga]

Thanks for the video, Sam. The Captain selected "idle reverse" when he opened the buckets. He did not require the engines to spool up though that option was available to him if he wanted to have the aircraft slow down faster.

[@AviaGrapher_ID]

Fokker 70 & Britten Norman Trislander is Awesome 😎👍

[@davew5383]

Sam, You get to have all the fun, I am always happy to see you getting excited and sharing your experiences with us👍🙂

[@TheWeeklyDeparture]

Beautiful shots of St Maarten! What a thrill for the pilots to land at SXM.

[@Republic-Of-Me-Travel]

Haha i love it, Sam cant get enough of the jet exhaust - thats gold 😊

[@davidsolis6691]

Great video Sam! Loved the variety and how you discussed the aircraft and St Marten too! Interesting and fun! Thanks so much for letting us travel with you Sam!

[@crabmaniac1]

Used to fly regularly on the Trislanders to the Chanel Islands. Great to see one still about! Those lycoming engines are very noisy!

[@IOSALive]

Sam Chui, This is awesome! I subscribed because I want to see more!

[@SamChui]

Thanks for subbing!

[@deloresthomas5624]

Great video. Brought back many memories. Use to fly from St. Thomas to St. Martin many times. Caribbean Airports are great to fly in and out of.

[@mike-ulove2travel]

Awesome views of the island. Just spectacular!

Wow! Sam, it must be an amazing experience flying on those aircrafts. Thank You for sharing 👍🏻

[@9Y-Aviation]

Glad you made it down to the Caribbean Sam! You should try out Caribbean airlines, thr ATR that you spotted at the timestamp is one of their regional aircraft. It’s a wonderful airline and definitely worth trying 12:17

[@BD-qq4fn]

Fantastic post! A Folker 70 and Trilander…..amazing! Thanks Sam!

[@rickyhr727]

Pretty interesting and educating the remarks regarding the idle reversers on Fokker F70/F100. I noticed the same when flying in AA an AV F100 years ago. After deep research the captain on Jet Air gave the right answer. It is only used on emergency situations. Even more interesting, F70 and F100 came from the F28 family which engines were not provided with thrust reversers system. The tail cone splits acting as a speed brake effectively (F70 and F100 have same feature too.)

[@samjacobson5500]

Nice!!!! Hoping you will be on the Inaugural Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on Monday. I’ve been excited for it.

I will be on Tuesday HA11 SFO-HNL

[@BrainwenAlekanta]

For your information sir, that Fokker 70 (PJ-JAB) is first delievered to Vietnam Airlines in 1997, then went to TransNusa in 2015 and finally delievered to JetAir Caribbean in Dec 2019, the engines were made by Rolls-Royce model RR Tay 620-15

[@ojosef4608]

Awesome video. I would like to ride on these ancient planes. These pilots looked very efficeint and confortable to fly with.

[@Xiaolin835]

0:17 it smells so good ( jet fuel ) 😂😂

[@ocker2000]

Really enjoyed this video. I have never been to St. Maarten. But I did work on rebuilding plans after the hurricanes. Its a really sad story that the money that IS available for fixing that airport terminal and other facilities is not being used due to island politics. As for the Trislander it triggered me because it was the plane type whose pilot and passengers witnessed two massive UFO's over the UK Channel islands. (ref. James Fox documentary and Leslie Kean's bestseller book on UFO's). You should consider making an episode on UFO/UAP with commercial pilot Christaan van Heijst.

[@frankgrimesification]

Used to love flying the Mother Fokker with US Airways back in the day. Flew the F 100 a bunch of times, but was never on the F 70.

[@Siah2x_146]

yoo the pilot for Anguilla air services is my cousin kyle. I just stumbled on this vid. Ive told him many times to go fly bigger planes i never knew he flew a rare plane Edit : i did not know you put my cousins name in the description till the video was done

Kyle is a great aviator who loves flying!

Alliance Airlines in Australia is the largest fleet of Fokker 70/100 QantasLink (Network Aviation) is slowly phasing them out for the A319. I believe Virgin Australia Regional Airlines has 4 left of their Fokker 100s that’s getting replaced by the 737-700s from KLM. All of them do mining charters around Australia mostly in Western Australia the mining state. The airline Air Niugini in Papua New Guinea operates a couple of F70/100 for their domestic service and to Cairns, Queensland.

[@fivemilesup]

Great video of the baby Fokkker. Next video please show the mother Fokker.

[@ozzy7804]

Hey sam. Recently we use to have a fokker 50 operating between bonaire and curacao but now our biggest is the yetair from your video. But the most used is the saab fro EZair. Also we fly with little prop planes between the islands.. its a lot of fun especial the 6 seater from DIVIDIVIair (and the roomers are tru. We fix things with ducktape or not at al)

[@mLi75]

SAM you should see what's coming in to Barbados these days Up to 20 years ago, you'd see MD83s, Dash 8s, YS11s, TriStar 500s, IL62s
