Woensdrecht 17MAY & Eindhoven 18MAY (night)

Some photos from the Fokker dump at Woensdrecht. Pictures ain’t of the best quality due to lack of sun and trying to balance myself on a less then stable ladder.

Unmarked F50. Formerly Air Astana P4-IAS

PH-LXG, formerly Mexicana XA-LXG. Behind it is Avianca Brazil PR-OAQ.

HK-4430, one of six formerly Avianca Fokker 100s currently parked at Woensdrecht.

PH-MKH, this plane was used as a flying testbed for the SOSTAR-X airborne radar project. Last I heard this plane was to become the testbed for the re-engined Rekkof reincarnation. But that project has gone very quiet.

PH-CMM, formerly I-GIOI Eagles Airlines. The restart of Alpi Eagles did not last long. It’s sistership is headed for Panama (see below), so perhaps this one will go there as well?

HK-4445, another of the six Avianca planes. Behind it a totally white unmarked F100. There’s not even a registration (visible) on it!

PR-OAQ, note the PR instead of PH. This is the only Brazilian registered Avianca plane at Woensdrecht. The rest are all Colombian registered.

HP-1764PST will be delivered to Air Panama. This one used to be F-GIOG for Air France Régional and also briefly flew for Eagles Airlines. I almost missed this one as it is parked between buildings behind a lot of clutter. But fortunately there is no hiding from the 100-400L!

Thursday was a bank holiday in the Netherlands, therefor the air base was closed. For once the military charter had to park at the civilian side of the airport, tomorrow morning (or rather today) it will move to the military side.

Sad to see all them Fokkers not flying! Always have been a fan of the Fokker types.

Nice catch with the An12 aswell!
