The aft fuselage of Minoan Air SX-BRV (20199) is stored at the dump at
Kessel of the owner of the PS Aero collection in Baarlo, the Netherlands.
(Johan Hetebrij; Kessel, 26 September 2020)
Few years ago, the vertical tail was mounted onto the fuselage of 20314, which
was never completed, and is now in use as an educational room at the
Wereldpaviljoen in Steyl, also close to Baarlo, and visible on Google Earth
(51.335471, 6.119539). (Lord Photography at Google, Steyl, August 2019)
The former Atlantic Airlines Fairchild F-27F HR-ATI (95) that served as a

restaurant again. The aircraft is visible at Google Earth (14.929557,

Further to the accident described in Fokkernews #34, the preliminary
report has been confirmed that the aircraft was indeed operating by
Silverstone Air Services
on behalf of Saacid Airlines. After takeoff, the landing gear could not
be retracted since all hydraulics were lost and the crew returned to
Mogadishu, where the aircraft veered off the runway and bumped into the
concrete wall surrounding the airport. The captain and first officer
were seriously injured, two other crew got minor injuries. The
certificate of airworthiness had been renewed just 8 days prior to the
crash. The F50 had flown 37,793 hours. |

The first Fokker 100 prototype, PH-MKH (11242) has not flown since 2007,
but is still in existence. The aircraft is stored at the Fokker Techniek
facility at Woensdrecht Air Base in a special livery. This was applied in 2006
when Stork, the then mother company of Fokker, operated it as a testbed for
SOSTAR-X (Stand-Off Surveillance and Target
Acquisition Radar), a multinational project for an advanced military airborne
radar system. (Bernhard Jensch, Woensdrecht, 4 October 2020)
After Alpi Eagles ceased operations in 2008, one of their nine F100s, I-ALPX
(11251) was put into storage at Dinard and still is there, now evidently in poor
condition. (www.airline.pics, Dinard, 28 August 2020)
The airport of Alice Springs in the desert of Central Australia currently hosts
many aircraft that are parked there for the Covid-19 crisis. Among them are
three Fokkers. Mitch Coad was lucky enough to have a helicopter flight over the
storage area and he took pictures of two Alliance Airlines F100s, both
still in the livery of their former operator Helvetic, VH-VKN (11459, ex HB-JVE)
and VH-VKQ (11501, ex HB-JVC). (Mitch Coad, Alice Springs, 2 October 2020)
