Benjamin Ng 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Ectually i wanna ask if the aircraft is in this type of condition can it be Refix and start flying again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Ectually i wanna ask if the aircraft is in this type of condition can it be Refix and start flying again? WW2 aircraft has been dug from the groung, repaired and flown again, so I think it is technically possible. Economical? Maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Sad... I rode EchoRomeo once SZB-KTE-SZB (or was it SZB still known as KUL then? ...) Fine aircraft this turboprop... And those were the days when you ride F50 for KUL-KUA or KUL-JHB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 (BTW, F50 expert Pieter and Adrian, the Pelangi Pitot/Probe just below the cockpit side windows are in a different configuration than MH F50... anyone know the reason? MH F50 have 2 pitot/probe and angle of attack vane in between. But the Pelangi, as seen in the photo only have one pitot/probe and one angle of attack vane.) No idea, Dante, KLM cityhopper F50's have 4 pitot tubes: 2 at each side + the vane...also, KLC has the FMS in their F50's (easy life )... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amzari 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Yup..Transmile was the main operator at the SZB right now.No major upgrade work currently on the pipeline.But,for a next few months,there will be a some maintainance works(eg painting back the treshold,runway,taxiway,replacing lights,etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 Awesome pics and topic, Amazri. Was going to start a similar one today, out of curiousity after Sandeep kindly showed us SZB on Saturday. Pieter, 3C-QRZ = Laoag International Airlines, however was meant to have (or only temporarily) took up the marking RP-C588 with the same carrier. As PH-SFI in '91 Schreiner operated it for Oman Aviation. FYI, at JHB on 23rd MEQ was noted open (imagine the smell) and is parked along with MAI MD-82 S7-ASK, and seldom moving An-12BP UR-TSI. On the 24th, two DH7's were also noted, are there UN birds? My apologies we arrived/departed at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin Lim 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Hi, my first post here in MW. Just a quick question, but isn't the aircraft shot in the picture a F27, not a F50? Correct me if I'm wrong, perhaps I missed something in earlier replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Kelvin, The 9M-aircraft is a Fokker F27 mk 050 (= Fokker 50) and the 3C- aircraft is a Fokker F27 Friendship...look at the different windows... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
