Seems to be quite a lot of RW20 landings these few days https://web.facebook.com/worldtravelcafes have not visit the cafe in person, but it's indeed come with very good environment, the renovation and designs, and good view from the cafe, especially as you say when Rwy20 in action. foods variety is quite a intersting, but the price tag was.. anyway, iirc the cafe is set-up by a local travel agent.

jahur 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 Its been years since i've spotted any Fokkers the last being Sky Aviation in Melaka. We're lucky enough to have Leading Edge Air Service Corporation to have one of their aircrafts stopping by in KK today. Its said this new established charter company will operate 6 Fokker 50 in the Philippines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) I have many fond memories of the Fokker 50, the sound of its engine is something I do miss. ATR-72 is ok, but seems to 'shake' a bit more in the cloud. As a child I would always sit near the engine area, so I can see the landing gear go up and also down before landing. Such ingenuity. Though, of course, I will also always remember the fokker incident at old Tawau airport many years ago. Edited September 9, 2018 by Eddy Liew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though, of course, I will also always remember the fokker incident at old Tawau airport many years ago. I used to take Fokker 50s to SDK regularly before the A320 and b738 came out. Yes the plane is more rugged and sturdy in frame plus many fond memories. The ones used by MASWings and MAS even came with APU installed on the right engine. Believe the leading edge plane that came today didnt probably Fokker 50s were not issued with APU as a standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Oh i see, so I guess the hissing noise on ground as you can hear with MH's Fokker F50s were the APUs? I am sure some of us have been on the Fokker F-27s, which was my very first aircraft in life, the F-27s had to be attached to a diesel generator whenever they were on the ground. Hence you can't hear the hissing noise with the F-27s. I love the noise of the Rolls Royce Darts better! Edited September 9, 2018 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted September 14, 2018 I remember the F-27's very well - they used to fly from Subang in MSA colours too. Real workhorses when we had flights from Subang to Ipoh, Melaka, Kuantan and other small airports. In those days, road transport was terrible and it used to take three or four hours on the trunk road to get to Ipoh/Melaka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
