KLM Cityhopper Visitor Terrace

In May 2011 KLM Cityhopper is now being used for visitors to look inside Fokker F100 registered PH-OFE. It was brought to KLM Cityhopper in March 2003 new to Inter-Canadien in March 1989 C-FICQ when it was cased out in October 1989 it joined Intair until 2 years later it served 6 years with Air UK in 1992; in 1998 it joined KLM as G-UKFE serving flights from United Kingdom to The Netherlands it was based from London Stansted, UK. After it was merged with KLM Cityhopper in March 2003 it was re-registered to former PH-OFE 5 months later. 

Unfortunately you can enter the cockpit it's not in use for visitors just staff only when the gallery is closed. One cool thing they still add in the cockpit you can hear current air traffic control from the control tower my wish is if KLM still has flight recorder it would be interesting where did OFE travelled.

 There wasn't a lot of seats  roughly 9 seats the back of the aircraft at least it gives you extra hight is you wan't to take aircraft photos in good weather condition. Like most Fokker aircraft you can see engines like McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series, Tupolev TU-154 for example if your lucky sit at the back of the plane you can see the engine.

This is the information of this aircraft and numbers showing what's around the plane. The only problem is there is no English translation or any other international translate so non-Dutch people don't know what it translate I think Zwaarder dan lucht en toch vliegen means Heavier than air and still fly. One photo I forgot to take a shot of the cabin is you can see the cargo bay you can walk on it made out of glass. 

If you wan't to see this old Fokker F100 come to Amsterdam Airport viewing gallery from departures check-in. 

Going to the United States of America!

In August 2015 I am going to the United States for the first time flying to a non-EU flight in Aircraft Aviation in Europe history my first non-EU flight was back home in Malta in the 90's when we Maltese wasn't in the EU.

What's going to happen when I travel to the US? I will not be doing plane spotting in America it will be only full flight video (pending if I sit on window seat) if I don't hit on window seat ending up in the middle 4 seat row I will take pictures in the cabin & maybe picture of the wing when I fly on Thomas Cook Airline Airbus A330 from London Stansted,UK - Las Vegas, US. The flight will be 1 stop to Glasgow, UK in Scotland which is an hour & the half and 9 hours, 36 minutes to Las Vegas from Glasgow which make it 12 hours & 45 minutes makes it a new flight time record from Aircraft Aviation in Europe.

With outbound flight from Las Vegas,USA - London Stansted, UK it will be a non-stop flight witch is 10 hours & 14 minutes. I am not going on my own I'm going with an old friend of time who isn't a plane spotter so aircraft photos will be taken either at the terminal in Las Vegas and inside the plane.
