Fokker F27 freighter which was based at Bournemouth airport starting up for its early morning, daily freight run to Jersey and Guernsey. The guy waving out of the window was Brian. This aircraft was sold to MNG in turkey.

  • I love the sound of a Rolls Royce Dart. Even if they're in a F27 or a Viscount

  • I used to watch them start the engines at SFO, Pacific Air flew these up and down the coast. It was intoxicating to hear the engines scream before the plane started to taxi--everyone covered their ears.

  • The Dart song will stay forever in my minds, remembering the old F-27 of the French Postal air service taking-off in the morning at Brest airport and also the old Breguet 1050 'Alizé' who got a screeching particular sound during take-off as they use water-injection on their Dart.

    Kick off those PT-6 and make the Dart and Tyne runing again !

  • I used to ride on these F27s back in the day on Aloha Airlines. The engines did scream but if you are a passenger, what a view from the oval windows and the high wing configuration. Also, I used to like watching the landing gear retract and drop down.

  • Man i hate this aircraft, i must work with this plane to get my maintance licensse. It's a nice aircraft but it totally sucks for maintance.

  • I used to work at the F27 training center.. must have known the guy

  • Oh, what do I miss this sound from present day EHAM......!! Those were the days...

  • sounds so much better then the F-50..

  • @Bigredforester i never got to fly on one D:<

  • the only turbo prop I remember flying on. longer ago then I care to admit

  • My first ever flight as a kid was to the Isle of Man on a BIA Dart Herald and we lived on the approach path to Leeds-Bradford airport which had almost constant Viscount traffic. Sound will stay with me forever.

  • Hannover - Chania non stop 11hrs45mins F27 Troopship 334 Sqn
