Did they ever get upgraded with the VIP suite or did they stay as airline spec ? I know (although haven't seen him for a while) one of the pilots who bought one of them back from Canada and im sure he will be interested in there whereabouts now

I remember at least one of the Fokker 100s departed to Norwich.
I think it was unable to raise the gear so flew to Norwich gear-down.

Weren't there also American Airlines examples here at FAB at one stage. I wonder what happened to them? All 3 were ex US Airways not AA. As far as I remember, at least one flew out to Stansted. All 3 were originally parked on West 1 Apron, then later when repainted, they were on East Apron. Don't know what happened to them after that. It was certainly the intention of ARAVCO to convert them to bizjets. |

Hm those dates are a bit suspicious. We moved into the new tower in Nov 2002 and they didn't arrive until about a year later to my recollection. Hang on though, I met a US Airways crew (captain, F/O and stewardess) on Christmas day 2003 and I remember telling them about the F100s, but not much more 'cos it was in a bar in Barbados, they were night stopping and invited us to join them at their table and the captain kept on about taking the Concorde (parked at Barbados) for a few circuits! (They were operating an A320)
So those could be the dates they arrived at Farnborough. I have a photo I took from the tower of all 3 together on West 1 Apron somewhere, there may even be a date on it.
