Don't forget this: The F-27 Friendship was developed by Fokker in the Netherlands and built under licence by Fairchild. I should know, my uncle flew the plane on its maiden flight and took it all around the world for promotional purposes.

[@pascalcoole2725]

I wonder why this was not really mentioned, there where way more Fokker F27 than Fairchild build.
Beside, I might be wrong but i think the Fairchild was called F-227

[@joelbrown4507]

Great job on the video but I always want to know the aircrafts range and cruising speed

[@jayfrank1913]

Yay! A new aircraft video. Keep it up, Tino.

[@obiemichaels9675]

Fairchild…..?
I worked on the f27 at Ansett and they were Fokker not Fairchild

[@Tinoaviation]

Sorry for the confusion, this is the story of the american f-27, which is made by fairchild, and not the world wide one...

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

⁠@@TinoaviationYou still should look into who designed and developed the F27 ( Fokker ) and who built it with a license ( Fairchild ).
I saw the F27 'Fokker Friendship' many times flying over Berne in the 1970-ies.

@@alexandergutfeldt1144 Alright, ill clarify more on my up coming videos, thanks for info!

I flew the Fairchild F-27 on to the gravel and rock strips in Saudi Arabia 1976-78. It was rugged and took a beating - our prop blades looked like serrated knives with all the stone chips dressed out. You mentioned quiet - the Dart Powered Chicken was NOT quiet.

[@nasirghani4891]

Nose wheel steering and braking was quite tricky due to pneumatic system. First flew it in 1978.

Uhu pff-pff-pff-pff-pff cheeeee pff-pff-pff-pff-pff cheeeee
Check the air pressure before taxi and before landing.

Hughes Airwest F-27 prop-jet.

[@pascalcoole2725]

The F27 handled like a dump truck, but it was rugged and reliable.. just like the DC-3

[@slimeplayz8752]

W Video!

[@JakelsAwake]

indeed

[@luckeyhaskins1734]

The “Stepchild” to its pilots. Not a favorite but served its purpose and made money.

[@reneegudjon3204]

This is a workhorse at least the Fokker and proofed it's worth in Iceland for decades in various conditions
