What a great surprise it was to come across this excellent video created for the “Fokker 50 Farewell Party” in February of 2010. The video was brilliantly filmed and edited mainly by Nils Volkerts, then a young first officer I had the pleasure of working with on many occasions. I flew the F50 for 14 years with KLM Cityhopper UK from March 1996, the last 8 years having been on a night-stop basis from Amsterdam. I met a lot of fine people during that time and seeing the video again took me right back. If you’re reading this Niels, once again thanks for such a great record of good times on a fine aircraft - and I hope you’re well.

Really gets a little emotional, its the pride that they take in flying and the passion that makes this plane truely beautiful. The music is fine by the way makes you focus on the video not the music...!

Gott was habe ich es geliebt wenn meine Mama mit mir von Hamburg nach Amsterdam geflogen ist. Immer Fokker 50 und später gelegentlich Fokker 70 und abends zurück selten 737 oder A310... Das WAREN ZEITEN... MAMA HAT ES GELIEBT für KLM zu arbeiten... Die Abgabe an Ogden und die Digitalisierung hat in der Fliegerei Herzen gebrochen, aber so ist der Lauf der Dinge... Wir ehren was war. Danke Fokker 50 für ein volles Logbook und einen Lebensinhalt ❤️

Wie kijkt in 2019? Who watches in 2019?

Loved the fokker 50, flew on them on a couple of occasions. Very quiet comfortable aircraft to fly on. Would love to fly in one again

My dad is a pilot on the Fokker 50 and works on ”Amapola Flyg AB” in sweden, and i think i have flying with him 50 sectors (i think, or more) And i can say one thing, if you have the chance to fly this beautiful aircraft, TAKE IT. I know this airplane from my long jumpseat experience and it is a beautiful sound! Sorry for my bad english (i am 12 and from sweden)

One of my favorite planes! Im a prop person

Wat leuk dit te zien.Ik heb van 1981-1997 in DÜS voor de KLM gewerkt en o.a. ook OPs gedaan voor de F27 en F28...

Excellent coverage. Perfect editing guys! A+++++!

Thanks babe for the thousands of hours of pure fun, hapiness and job satisfaction you gave me..... not to mention all the wonderfull people you introduced me to, the lessons you taught me and the oppotunities you gave me.... I will cherish our memories for the rest of my life!!!

What a cracking video, the way it was shot and put together in respect into probably one of the best fokker's ever built, I had the luxury of one of these on a short klm flight back in the mid 90's operating a short haul flight as a connector and for the first time flying, it didn't dissapoint its just a shame klm are no longer operating these machines anymore.

Super cool video KLM ! Enough to lift my rather somber mood this morning . Sad to you guys retire that magnificent Fokker 50 , though I never board one myself . The last time I ever board a Fokker was an older version Fokker 27 Friendship back during December 1987 ! By the way , may I know what happened to the retired Fokker 27/50 fleet ? Shame to see it mothballed in some aircraft graveyard .

10 jaar geleden, we zijn je niet vergeten! Fokker 50 10 years ago, we didn't forget you!

Almost 7 years since this beauty is gone. I can't believe that at the end of this year the Fokker 70 will leave the fleet as well. As a child I have so many memories to these Fokker aircrafts. It makes me a bit sad as well.

Awesome video i love KLM because it shares everything with the media :)

I can remember being a really small girl and going to pick up my Oma from Bristol airport. She used to fly in and out on the KLM F50. Years later I started going to visit her and flew on them. I am going to miss them very much!

I've flown in Fokkers (F-50 and F-28/F-70) back in the mid-1990s in the Philippines and Papua New Guinea-Solomon Islands respectively. It was such an era I now miss, thanks to videos like this. Yes! Fokker for Life! When will Rekkof take to the skies?

Veel aan de Fokker 50 gewerkt...motorcooling...oiloutlet...airintake...diffuser. Prachtige film! Ik werk nog bij Fokker. Nu in Hoogeveen.

Prachtige video, mooi eerbetoon aan deze mooie kist :)!

Ook al kijk je deze video 10x hij blijft echt super!

very nice! thx for posting. contains a lot of familiar things :)

great video.

Perfect video....thank's and nice greetings from germany :-)

Lovely video

4:34 Bird strike (or near miss =P). Anyway, Amazing Video!

prachtige video!

GREAT video! It's put together quite nicely! =)

Beautiful airplane. I'd rather fly one of these old Fokkers over a jet ANYDAY. Great vid. Love the music. Fits.

prachtig vliegtuig✈️

One beautiful aircraft😍

I flew on KLM Fokker 70 Norwich-Amsterdam very great service KLM!

Goodbye Fokker 50 I'll never see any plane like Fokker in future... Thank you for being our Airline for 20+ years.

Still hits after almost 10 years

That's it. I have to buy one.

I love video good job continue.

nice video and music!

mooie vid

Sadly PJ-KVI is parked besides Insel Hangar without engines, currently being preserved until both engines comes back from shop visit. KVH has been scraped, KVG and KVK are very active flying the routes of Aruba-Curacao-Bonaire. Good airplanes though.

Who watched this in 2017

So sad 😢😢✈✈

+klm grate video klm love the music

Great video! I'll miss the Fokker 50!, I wanted to fly the KLM F50, but unfortunately it didn't happend :(.

I remember many great flights Gatwick to Eindhoven in the mid 70's. The on board 'flight bites' were great. A couple of rolls with thin meat and cheese, a cake and a miniature of Bols gin with a Bols shot glass which we kept as a souvenir. All issued in a brown paper bag. The service was always friendly and impeccable.A great loss to aviation.

Most of those aircraft shown in this video still flies today for Inselair as PJ-KVK/KVI/KVG and KVH for spare parts.

Mooi clipje. A real aircraft has a Prop!

Love the Fokker!

Mooie video jammer dat dit vliegtuig niet meer in dienst is bij de KLM.

great!

great landing

I will mis this beauty! Unfortunatelty i never got the opportunity to fly one, since my flight was changed to a F70 :(. I booked this flight to fly the F50, and then they put up a F70 :(. Respect for the Fokker 50! It flew important routes for KLM and will be missed!

aer lingus operated this aircraft from 1989 to 1995 and I remember going to edinburgh on it, very fast it cut the time on descent as it didn't have to use the wide range of approach as jets need

Fokker 70's next :(

is beautiful aircraft ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Proud 👌🏻👌🏻

Beste KLM, zouden jullie ook een afscheidsfilmpje kunnen maken over de MD-11 en haar beste momenten?

Runway 27L is at Heathrow

Goodbye Fokker 50 we'll miss you....

KLM I love flying with you because you understand customers needs

i like flight atendants. They're so neautiful

what a legend! Fokker really knows how to build beautiful aircrafts a shame the started to disapearred wathcing this in 2018 by the way :D

my favourite aircraft when i was a kid i remember i used to fly it alot

Great to see these older turboprops...

Ik vindt dit echt een geweldige video... Hier kan makkelijk een biertje, vrienden en wat vrouwtjes erbij... :)

What's the music called at 0:51 ?

I am going to be a pilot. My dream is to be able to fly one of these some day!

My first ever flight was on a KLM Fokker 50 chity hopper. It was exciting to take of, you could feel it flying. Second flight a few hours later was a Jet. I was dissapointed, how boring the take off was.

The plane looks so modern ... are they still Boeing produced nowadays ? Fantástico video production,by the way!

Tolles Bildmaterial (und dafür Daumen hoch) aber ich vermisse die Flug(zeug)typischen Geräusche wie die des Fahrwerkes beim Ein- und Ausfahren und die Gespräche, sowie den Funkverkehr ... wenn ich schon die Möglichkeit geboten bekomme auch im Cockpit "dabei" zu sein. Wenn ich Musik hören will, sehe ich VIVA oder MTV.

Zonde, was een klein leuk en uniek vliegtuigje.. wat gaan de klm piloten van de fokker 50 nu vliegen bij klm?

That music was so obnoxious ... great footage though.

Why was the Fokker 50 phased out of airline service much earlier than the De Havilland Canada/Bombardier DHC-8 or even the ATR 42/72 series???

Klm do you guys have a flight to mexico city?

What song are they playing

great video. do you know who bought the fokker 50's from KLM?

What are you Simulator Settings??????

Where is the video of farewell to the 747?!

KLM do you still use the OrangePride livery? I have it on my Flight Simulator and it's awesome!!! Do you plan to paint all of your planes like that in the future?Please tell me you will!!

Checked!!!

NO MUSIC, PLEEEEEEASE, NO MUSIC. >

this one fly is a320?

Song ?

3:01 Is that a parking brakes?

Wait do md-11 still exist or not any more they look like DC-10

Is the reason why it's called city hopper is bc it only flew to city to city during that time when it used be in service

Ahhh... I Wish I Was A Pilot Sooner, I'm Going On My Checkride Tomorrow... Wish Me Luck! I Will Be Happy To See My easyJet Passengers On My Aircraft Soon! :)

What song?

Rip Fokker 50 you will always be in our hearts

really cool!! i say, its really sad to say farewell to a airplane. But cool music i like it!

I will miss the F50 KLM colors :'( But may 14th going with Cityjet to London with a Fokker 50 :D

I first saw this video on my laptop. It's been twn years since....

The best prop that i was drive …thank you F50

10 Jaar geleden. Rust in Vrede Fokker 50 10 Years ago. Rest in Peace Fokker 50

klm do u have foker 27 fleet

You shoud run tour flights with an F27 friendship, like Lufthansa and the JU 52

die spray is toch anti ijs of zo iets?

interesting but the sound is something else !!!

The Q-400 aircraft would be a great replacement for the Fokker 50 at KLM! Hopefully KLM will consider the Q-400 as a great midrange regional airliner to add to KLM's fleet!

No wonder it looks old - it was 8 years ago!! But still, very quite sad to see it leave KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Farewell, Fokker 50! 😢 From me, have a safe retirement (even though you already did!! ;)
