Actually I've met these Fokkers.......both the 50 and 100. Still to meet the 70 but with Alliance QLD now operating it (F70) I might get to go for a fly. Great video mate and quieter than I expected especially engine noise into the cabin.

Love the F50 aircraft, I loved towards the end of the video when the aircraft landed in Perth and the reverse thrust was deployed on the props and when that happens the F50 gives out a loud grunt like this: "Ngggaawwwwwwwwwwwoooorrrrrrr" if you know what I mean. Also there was a time when F50s ruled the skies in WA in terms of turboprop aircraft but as we all know Virgin Australia sold them sadly.
Great shots of wheel while descending. A very nice video. Thanks for sharing!

So nice to see this as a a Perth Spotter! Nicely done, sad to see them go but, they were getting old.
Nice video my friend!!
A nice captured report.
+Allan Moore thanks
I myself have not heard of The Skywest. Must be a new airline.
+tnecniv skywest became virgin australia regional en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Australia_Regional_Airlines
+Aussie Flyer sorry bro, don't have time to read that; I've got work to do
+tnecniv yeah ur a busy guy
@@AussieFlyer lol...he too busy to read that's why he don't know 😁
Flew this several times. Lovely planes, bit poor on the walk strip tho.
Poor on the walk strip - what do you mean?
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 the walkway inbetween the seats was damaged and dirty and the strip lighting failing in certain spots
@@AusNav09 did you report it ?
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 I did not. Thought it was normal haha
@@AusNav09 no not normal. Best to report it
last time i flew on this plane in 2003 i wanted to take video out of the window seat but was told i couldn't by skywest
Nice review mate! What were you doing in Albany anyway?
well to be honest i went for the Fokker 50 ride but i thought it was a lovely place i enjoyed the Anzac museum
Ah, ok.
Love it

A great little aircraft!
They sure did rule the skies, I think especially when Skywest were running them
@@jetstream454 wish the F50s were still flying in WA.
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 Same here! 😔
Yeah I miss the F50’s coming to Albany they walk all over the Saab
In what way do the F50s walk all over the Saab?
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 they don't rattle you to death for a start. But seems like the F50s were just too big to be economical on these routes
@Hazza4257 too big to be economical on those routes? The F50 flew to Albany for years and years.
And here I thought Skywest was only In the US
NorCal Aviation I know it’s been 10 months, but actually they have no relation to each other.
Get rid of the music. Everything else ok.
got it! i will try to have less in future
