Iranian airline Mahan Air is believed to soon add turboprops to their
fleet for domestic operations. Apparently the F50 has been chosen, and we can
only speculate where these should come from.

The world’s oldest Friendship that is still in service is 59-0259, the VIP F27
of the Philippine Air Force (10115), which was delivered in September
1959 and celebrated its 62nd birthday this year. In 2019 it was
overhauled, got a new coat of paint and looks brilliant.

Still going strong after 53 years is 5Y-GMC (10369), now flying cargo for
Astral Aviation, unlike the rest of the fleet without any titles. (Ralph’s
Aviation Photography; Nairobi-Jomo Kenyatta, 9 November 2021)
The start-up airline I-Fly Air is using this F50, that is believed to be
operated by Silverstone Air Services, with the suitable registration 5Y-IFL
(20151). It is the former SE-LIR and is painted all white. (Ralph’s Aviation
Photography; Nairobi-Wilson, 12 November 2021)
Jetways
operated Freighter F50 5Y-JWG (20191) obviously lost part of its attractive
Miniliner colors, the clock on the forward fuselage has gone now.
(Ralph’s Aviation Photography; Nairobi-Wilson, 17 November 2021)
The operator of F50 Freighter 5Y-JWB (20197) has changed from Jetways, who flew
it still in the ex-Miniliner livery, to Renegade Air. It is now white and
the large cargo door is green with ‘Fokker 50 Cargo’ titles. When it changed, is
unknown, but the oldest picture in the new livery dates March 2021.
(Renegade Air on Facebook; Nairobi-Wilson, November 2021)
Following up on Fokkernews 39 we can now show a picture of Renegade Air
5Y-SMQ (20202) in actual service. The engine cowlings were repainted since.

Somalian startup Star Airline has leased 5Y-WFD (20214) for domestic
services out of Mogadishu across the country. Not visible on this picture is the
Star Airline tail logo. (Axmed Yacko on Facebook; Garowe, 20 August 2021)
Apparently back in the Skyward fleet is 5Y-JXK (20233). The aircraft lost
its Premier Airlines titles, but retained the tail logo.
(Ralph’s Aviation Photography; Nairobi-Wilson, 15 November 2021)
Freedom Airlines
5Y-FAS (20249) was recorded on memory card for posterity, while taxiing in its
