I worked as Fokker 100 avionics technician for TAM airlines, Sao Paulo, Brazil. They had 50 aircrafts like this but not enough infrastructure. it was a nightmare. I only stayed 1 year and quit. But I agree it's a beautiful plane.

[@Aviation763]

Oh really?! That’s interesting, thanks for sharing!!

[@katefromaust5627]

You get to see some amazing places! My brother in law was a truck driver in WA & I know he used to love his occasional drives to Newman. Great stuff & thoroughly enjoyed (as always)!

[@Aviation763]

Yeah, I do thanks! Cool! Thank you so much, I'm glad!

[@awesomeaviation2325]

Great Video, I love flying on those Virgin Fokker 100's as you really feel like you are flying in these little jets. 18A is 100% the best seat on them as you get the view of the wing and the engine. If you ever come back to Perth you should take a flight to Broome as the views on departure and arrival, and the fact that the airport is in the centre of town is amazing. Keep up the great work!!!

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much! Yeah it’s a great plane. I would love to fly to Brooke next time I’m there, it’s just very expensive.

[@awesomeaviation2325]

@@Aviation763 Yeh, Anything and everything related to Aviation and Travel is expensive in WA. Virgin do have a sale at the moment i think but it is still 11,800 velocity points one way. It's really sad that virgin are replacing the Fokker 100s at the end of this year with the 737-700's.

I'm really enjoying these videos,Thanks so much Hugo. I got introduced to your channel via the bonza video but love the content! Your a boss!

[@Aviation763]

So happy you like them, tysm!

Great video, subbed 👍

Tysm!

Thank you for that wonderful recording of flight...found it very interesting.

Thank you so much, I’m glad you think so!

Another great flight review Hugo, great work mate.

[@Aviation763]

Thank you!

[@TheHobartAviationFan]

Awesome stuff!

[@Aviation763]

Thanks!

[@StarAllianceMan]

It's a very cool plane. I was fortunate to fly on a QF one to Geraldton last year

[@Aviation763]

Wow that’s awesome!

[@MrPilot1167]

Great as always mate! I'd like to suggest something for you. I think a great and professional format could be to record as you normally do, but post commentate/narrate the videos at home with a nice microphone. You could even blend both aspects. You present things extremely well and I think it could go to another level doing this.
PS next time you are in Coffs let me know! ❤

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll think about it!

[@oli1533]

Great review! Ive flown on the QantasLink A320 and Fokker 100 many times before, and I’ve gotta say I’d much prefer the Fokker. Although it is much louder the extra space in the cabin having only 100 seats is so much nicer than the A320. The Fokker rides pretty smooth too.

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Yeah. The Fokkers and 717s do seem to actually be smoother than a lot of other planes.

[@AussieJetSetter]

Great review Aviation763! Such a versatilite aircraft the old F100 absolutely Fokker country here in WA. Perth probably Fokker capital of the world. A-shame Virgin Regional I believe is disposing them from there fleet soon though 😢

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Yes hahah! it is a shame, it’s one of my favourite airplanes :(

[@bor3domboy686]

nice video!
As a fellow australian avigeek i envy you and the amount of flights you take.

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much!

[@vh_nhp8892]

Cool review, good to see more content creators in WA. How do you plan out and edit these videos?

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Good question, I basically just edit them as soon as I can (Because I don't have heaps of space on my phone) and then schedule them for a time that makes sense. For example, I try not to put out 3 VA 737s in a row because that would be boring. I just edit them on my phone haha.

[@vh_nhp8892]

@@Aviation763 Interesting. Do you not have a computer to edit?

[@Aviation763]

I do but it’s much easier to do it on my phone. And it wouldn’t be any better if I edited on my computer

[@patrickmaclean1524]

Great video, could you do a flight in a network fokker 100 for comparison?

[@Aviation763]

I would love to next time I’m in WA!

[@YbsuPlaneSpotting]

yea F100s are Great planes to fly

[@Aviation763]

Yep!

[@rc70ys]

So the Fokker 100 has 3 seats on the right and 2 seats on the left ? Does it not off balance the weight ??

[@Aviation763]

I guess not

[@cillian6715]

Nice video, are you in Perth right now?

[@Aviation763]

Thanks! No not at the moment.

[@cillian6715]

@@Aviation763 Ah!

[@khymanser391]

Is that a new virgin plane

[@aydoyt]

Very much the opposite. The Fokker 100 in question is around thirty years old and they are being replaced with the Boeing 737-700s coming from KLM

[@GBorges2]

Ex avianca Brasil?

[@oscarwyer2771]

Can somebody please tell me why is everyone wearing orange clothes in Newman airport??

[@Aviation763]

I’m pretty sure that’s all the miners, I think that’s their uniform or something like that.

[@oscarwyer2771]

@@Aviation763 also how old are you?? You sound very young?? And where are your parents in all the videos??
