En de kist is gearriveerd! :-)

Hij staat nu in de Zeusch hangaar op Lelystad airport, vrijwel helemaal achteraan op het veld.

Does someone know if the F-27 will stay in the goldenknights colourscheme? Cant find information about it on the internet.

There a just a few certainties in life, this not being one of them. However, the new owners have expressed themselves quite a lot about the legacy and the beauty of the aircraft in several articles, so I would be surprised if they would change the colours and come up with someting else when appearing on the airshow scene.

According to the article at Aironline.nl, the aircraft WILL remain in this colour scheme. For how long is obviously uncertain, but the current owners have NO plans to change it.

By coincidence I saw this last Thursday evening, when I dropped by for the Indonesian Falcon 7X. It is still inside the Zeush hangar, in the back of it, and was just visible from outside because the hangar doors were open.

Insurance problems.
It is/was not even allowed to go outside/park infront of the hangar.
Still needs some checks too.
Dont think it will ever fly again (but hope time will prove me wrong).

Voor het aftekenen van de D inspectie van de Fokker F 27 zoeken wij een licensed FAA Mechanic/ Inspector, met ervaring op de F-27.
...ik weet niet of ze te Lelystad nog steeds zoeken naar iemand -als hierboven :?:

Ik hoop van wel.
