Alliance Airlines
have sold their remaining five F50s, which marks the end of turboprop operations
for the airline. These F50s were mainly used on the Adelaide to Olympic Dam
route, which is operated on behalf of the BHP mining company and they have
recently been replaced with Fokker jets. Three F50s will fly out to the new
operator, the others will be scrapped at Adelaide for parts. The buyer is an
undisclosed operator in South America.
The new maintenance facility of
Alliance Airlines
in Rockhampton, Queensland is expected to open in February 2023. All heavy
maintenance for the Fokker and Embraer fleet will be performed their instead of
by parties abroad.

The former WDL Friendship fleet has been in storage in a remote corner of
Cologne airport. Recently, D-BAKD (10179) was moved to a spot closer to the
terminal, where it is easier to photograph. The aircraft has no registration or
titles. (Anton van Ruiten; Cologne, 11 August 2022)
As reported previously, Congolese airline Air Kasa� has started scheduled
flights with a leased F50 5Y-SKN (20110). Here is a decent picture showing its
livery. (Actufly Unacrdc on Facebook; unknown location, 1 July 2022)
Iranian airline Mahan Air appears be the latest Fokker customer, now they
have acquired a first F50, EP-FQB (20263), formerly operating with Qeshm Air.
The picture shows that the technical staff is working to get the plane ready for
its first flight. (Alireza Arafzadeh on Instagram; Kerman, 4 July 2022)
In 1994 Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter bought Fairchild F-27J C-GCRA
(52), but never took it in active service. All those years it has been sitting
in a remote spot at Kelowna Municipal airport, see Google Earth (49.9482,
-119.3729). Initially in the basic colors of previous operator Norcanair, later
in a simple corporate-like scheme. It is missing many parts. (Vernon Harvey on
Flickr; Kelowna, 19 July 2022)

5Y-JSN |
SE-KTD |
The identity of the recently crashed F50 has now become known. According
to our database the aircraft was delivered from Sweden to Silverstone
Air Services in September 2021, and at the time of the accident it was
operated by Icon Aviation on behalf of the United Nations. The actual
data of lease to Icon Aviation remains are not known at the moment. |

050E |
5Y-GMS |
SE-LIP |
Aerospace Consortium is now confirmed as the operator, instead of Jubba
Airways (Fokkernews 43). In view of the registration this is not
unexpected, as their two F27 were also in the 5Y-GM* series. |

After more than seven months of heavy overhaul, Colombian Air Force
FAC1041 (11162), made a pre-delivery testflight from Woensdrecht in perfect
weather conditions. During the testflight an air-to-air photo meeting was
organized with Dutch Texan PH-TXN, resulting in this fabulous picture.
The Fellowship is now 42 years old and still looking splendid. (Ben Ullings on
Facebook; in-flight over Zeeland province, 3 August 2022)
The former showpiece of the Ivory Coast Government aircraft fleet TU-VAA
(11245) has been exposed for at least 10 years to tropical weather conditions
and the result is well visible on this picture. The airframe is abandoned
together with other governmental planes in the dump area of the airport, it
misses many parts and is very dirty. (Anton van Ruiten; Abidjan, 16 May 2022)
Only the tail colors make this F100 recognizable as a former Helvetic
aircraft. It has now been sitting in the yard of the Fantezia Liptov Park in
central Slovakia for two years and is visible on Google Earth) (49.0966,
19.5967), awaiting to be displayed to the public.
(P. Marianic on Flickr; Liptovsk" Mikul", 1 August 2022)
Although this picture does not show the entire aircraft, the essential parts are
visible: 5Y-JWF (11581) is now carrying titles and logo of Premier Airlines.
