727 dirt strip take off

Yep, they are banned alright due to our nice palls at the EU.

Only military, humanitarian and maintenance flights are still allowed. Not even 100% sure about the maintenance flights either. I know a few of them pop into Woensdrecht from time to time but they tend to be military VIP planes from Africa and South America so that might fall under military.

Damm thats bad I was hoping to see the Baby Fokker in the UK 🙁 and if I could get this http://www.genav.com/AircraftForSale/Fokker/11016/Stand-up%20Bar.html 😀

How should I know? 😀 I thought you or tenthije were experts on this subject! Checking Airliners, there are only a couple of sightings over the last couple of years, so maybe there is a reason that we don’t know……….

The F28 was designed specifically to operate from unprepared strips, and to this day continues doing so all over the southern hemisphere. Most likely Fokker was trying to see if the F100, loosely based on the F28, could perform the same trick. As the photog said this was a test flight. Also notice the dutch registration.

Yes, the F.28 was specifically designed for bush operations.

I believe it was, the 737 was available with a ‘rough field’ kit to customers…

Yes, a 732 belonging to Cameroon Airlines was one such a/c that had a reinforced landing gear. There were holes on the leading edge to blow air forward to avoid ingestion of FOD.

interesting stuff, I was at EGNX/EMA a few weeks ago when Royal Niger Govt. 737 5U-BAG came in, I only managed to get a couple of photos from the viewing park at the other side. But upon departure you could clearly see the special nose gear that this aircraft has for landing on rough/grass strips in Africa

Under the same registration there also other photos of this a/c including some close ups of the nose wheel
