Anyone familiar with the Fokker F27 Friendship (which has been in service in New Zealand for over 40 years) will immediately recognise the high-pitched whine of the two Rolls Royce Dart engines, as you'll hear on this video. The is one of two F27-500s still in service with Airwork Ltd in New Zealand (as at September 2013).
The aircraft is show taxiing and then taking off at Blenheim Airport in the province of Marlborough, New Zealand.

Love this Old girl f27 friendship. Not many of these about now. Can't beat the sound of the old Rolls Royce Dart prop engines

@@MegaADZZY That sound reminds me of the younger days
Most of the trips I went to with my parents were on the Fokker F-27. I still love the high pitched sound of the Rolls-Royce Darts
Childhood memories. Air hostess was serving lemons to all for avoid vomiting and cotton pieces to avoid noise 😂😂😂
One of my most favourite aircraft.....the sound of the engines is wonderful!
When we had these airplanes at Mesaba (Northwest Airlink) we affectionately called them "The whistle pigs" . Great airplanes!
Worked in PNG mid 60s and 70s. Did my time on F27s (as a passenger). I considered them luxury when crossing the Owen Stanley range. More than usual was the DC3. Great times.
Interesting!
Imagine a country airport. Possibly the only flight of the day. The flies are busy. The Fokker brings the world to a distant small community and has the stage to itself as it taxis to the terminal. What a performance. In no time it is turned around and off again to the next town on its milk run.
My first flight was an ANA's F-27, JA8618 from RJNN to RJFO, Japan,1967.
At airport F-27s and YS11s were always my favorite.
My very first airplane ride was aboard a Pacific Airlines F-27 from Fresno, CA to Hollywood/Burbank, CA in 1964.I was 8 yrs old. Loved it.
spent three years on relief staff for a large bank and flew into a lot of small country airports in the Fokker over those years. Remember one landing at Innisfail with a large cyclone off the coast. It was a real bumpy ride all the way but ended in an excellent landing.
The first time I ever went up, I was 7, it was in an F27, from Kempsey to Sydney, and I fell in love. That was 43 years ago. Not quite so in love with the old F27 any more, but if someone wanted to give me a Kingair...
I remember East West Airlines in the 1970s NSW
Magical RR sound
Loved it as child travelling with my parents on the F-27.
The best looking high wing type ever. Especially the older versions with the RR Dart turboprops . Beautiful noise.🇬🇧
Couldn't agree more!
The best rides I ever had were on the F-27, F.27, and FH-227.
looks healthy for its age good maintenance you have there for this plane
Amazing quality video! I do miss the fabulous F27's. Used to be a common sight at my home airport, Bournemouth, when Channel Express were around. Unmistakeable sound of those incredible Dart engines.
Thanks for that. Yes, we miss the F-27's too now that they're no longer flying around these parts!
Feeling Very Nostalgic. I use to ride a lot in these Fokker Friendship planes in my childhood days.
Magnificent bit of aviation machinery.Just to add, while I personally can't remember F27s, they were a large part of my parents life, living in a remote town in the middle of nowhere. Took all day, from sunrise to sunset, stopping everywhere, to cover around 1800 plus miles, delivering mail, freight, medical supplies, and passengers.
I remember long ago visiting my grandparents in New Zealand we flew in from Canada to Auckand, stay the night and fly out to Naiper/Hawkes Bay in a Fokker F27 Friendship owned by NAC (later part of Air New Zealand). That was the fun part of the trip.
Brings back lots of fond memories.....
Taxying speed seems to be kept just a little bit under takeoff speed
Time is money, and who doesn’t want to be home in time. Just another routine flight.
Ahaha it's a good one !
Alright until the brakes fail. At most major airfield around the world, the maximum taxi speed is 10kts.
His fish and chips were getting cold
I flew these & the 200, 300's for 17 years.
Built like a brick out house, very reliable & a total handfull if you ever lost an dngine at V1 as you found out on your 6 months licence renewal checks.
What an unique experience flying 5-stops from Omaha to Chicago on Ozark Air Lines. The memory of a lifetime.
I used to fly in a lot of F27’s of Ansett Airlines and Trans Australia Airlines or TAA back all thru the 1970’s from Melbourne Airport to Wynyard on the North coast of Tasmania and return to visit family quite often and remember I could get a flight to Tassie on football grand final day for as little as $25.00 one way as the Airlines tried to get a few bums in seats as they had to get there to pick up the crowds to come back to Melbourne, I also remember a few memorable flights in bad weather from giving up the east west landing during final approach at Wynyard as the turbulence was that bad and a lot of people were screaming and coming in from the other side for a west east approach which was much better yo orbiting at Wonthaggi while on the way back to Melbourne over Bass strait as they closed Melbourne airport for a brief period due to the bad weather, but I can never forget what a fabulous little airliner the Fokker was, and that unforgettable sound of the fantastic Dart Turbo prop!
I enjoyed seeing, hearing, smelling, and flying in F-27s with Hughes Air West in the California in the 1970s.
Once experienced, never forgotten!
Lovely! Thanks for posting this. Used to see these bring my brother home and fly him away again to the Navy from Walla Walla, WA in the late 60's. West Coast Airlines then...that propeller whistle is sooooo familiar, as was the slapping sound of the props being feathered after parking at the gate. Flew these a number of times, including my first ever airplane trip from Seattle to Walla Walla. It was dressed up in Bonanza livery---just before Bonanza, Pacific and West Coast were gobbled up by Hughes Airwest. Wonderful big windows, big seats and no wing to obscure your view from any seats, and an almost soothing droning in the cabin. Which would have gotten old on a long flight. :)
This one looks like it is taking off from an inland northwest regional airport...maybe Wenatchee or Yakima?
The Roll's Royce Dart engines seem to produce more jet noise than the Pratt & Whitney turboprop engines of the DeHaviland Dash-8. That makes the darts sound more like regular fan jet engines than the Pratts.
The Fokker 50 (F50) sounds better
Don't forget it's older NAC stablemate the Vickers Viscount, used to stay with rellies in the school holidays at Lyall Bay, I'd watch them land and take off all day, Bristol Freighters too. Back in the day.
Awesome sound once familiar around NZ, now rare. Both F27 and HS748 operated in my neighborhood, each identified by their own sound signature. Thanks for posting.
I flew home on leave from The RAN for nine years on these, even at Melbourne Airport they took off hard and fast. It signalled the final leg of my trip home. Love the sound of the dart motors
I used to watch these at Speke Airport, Liverpool in the 60s
Growing up in DPO in the seventies early eighties
Ansett (defunct) TAA (now QANTAS domestic) and East West (merged into Ansett)
All used the F27’s
The Rolls Royce dart screams are etched in my memory I will forever love the sound!
Just love the whine of those RR Darts
There is something about that sound! ;-)
Love the unique sound of the RR Dart - takes me back to my childhood flights on TAA (Trans Australia Airlines)
My first flights were in Fokkers with East West.
The Dart engines was a factor in the pilots and mechanics to loos their hearing, I am a good example after working on the Fairchild F27s for 13 years
Huh? Ten years, a useful excuse, "why yes I am deaf."
These where great fun to fly on, my first sighting of an F-27 was of Aer Lingus at cork airport in 1963 , i have flown only on a couple that bieng Kenya Airways ,niarobi to mombasa.
What memories! Hughes Airwest flew those in to Yuma all the time, took many trips in them. Always loved the F-27.
The first plane I ever flew on. It was 1982, from Entebbe to Nairobi over Lake Victoria. Would not again if you paid me.
I rode these a few times in the 1970s with Hughes Air West--loved the smell of kerosine fuel back then, also 80-octane aviation gas, haha!
I enjoyed flying on these a few times with Hughes Airwest around California in the 1970s. Love the turboprop sound and the smell of kerosene.
This plane should in a Museum in NZ
because this plane is NZ History.
Adored flying in this plane....miss seeing them around.
Watch out for those mountains.
I remember the NAC days well and live flying in the F27 very much so, they were w great aircraft. I get a real buzz when taking off, was so cool. I'd love to fly in one again if I ever get the chance to. Thanks for the video.
The best sound track,RRDart
Great camera work. Yes, he was behind schedule and taxied at a faster than normal speed at this small airport.
I’ve flown on one of these many times. East West Airlines, Australia.
airnz's most reliable aircraft, along with the viscount.
And DC3
Many memories of East West Airlines in Australia !!!
What a beauty
I did one cockpit familiarisation flight in a NAC F27 back in the 1970's. As soon as the flaps were up ex NZWN the captain lit up a Black and White brand cigarette and filled the cockpit with acrid foul smoke. The things you remember . ..
From memory (i.e. when I was an addict) those Black and White ones were actually pretty foul!
Simply splendid....I used to watch this same aircraft when I was In highschool, when it flew for Mississippi Valley Airlines as N334MV down in Moline, Illinois!!
Simply superb.. thanks for sharing...!!
Thanks a lot. We have lots more interesting stuff on our new streaming service: www.historicalmachines.tv
@@historicalmachines thanks...
Fokker friendship F-27 is really a Beautiful aeroplane I have ever seen. Particularly it's engine the British rolls royce dart engine sound is really extraordinarily beautiful. No air craft engine sound can come Near it.
What a beautiful plane!
Indeed!
Those Darts...man, do they scream!
No aeroplane can beat fokker friendship f-27 in looks and engine sound
Wow, perfect engine sounds. RR
These used to fly out of Lambert Field St.Louis,Mo. back in the day. Almost every major airline used them for short runs.
Not really. No majors had them, some regionals did, others had CV580s, CV600s, YS11s, non-propjet Martin 404s, Convair 240/340/440s, etc.
@@phishbillI can only tell you what I've observed.
@@craigpennington1251 If you observed out of STL, back in the day, it would've been Ozark's FH-227s, the American-built version, and no other airlines really. The major airlines of the time-AA, UA, TW, BN, EA, etc.-did not own/operate F-27s or FH-227s. And as i said, some regionals-OZ, PI, Mohawk, etc.-indeed did operate 27s or 227s, but others-Frontier, Southern, Texas Intl., North Central, etc.-did not. Jes' sayin'.
I miss the days of flying on NAC friendships then Mount Cook Airlines HS 748's from Auckland to Rotorua.
Those were the real days of flying
Music to my ears that engine whistle..
I love friendship planes I went on Virgin Australia and now going on the passion a train to Wellington and I will come back on The friendship plane ✈️
Wish it still flew in
i love sound of fokker 27
Nice job, HAFU! You were only (1) microphone wind screen shy of perfection on this one!
Was using a windscreen. Perhaps you'd like to donate to us to enable us to purchase a better one?
LOL! Well I hope you don't think I was trying to be a Smart-Alec. I really enjoyed the vid, especially the Darts, and just meant to say that it was nearly perfect and that it's a shame that the wind decided to grief your effort! What kind of camera, phone, etc. was this recorded with?
Sony V1P video camera, with XLR microphone with foam windshield and 'fluffy' windsock over the top of that! ;-)
Good capture!
Un appareil robuste et fiable 👍👍👍
nice video, thank you! they sure didnt stuff about with the taxi did they
Certainly not taxiing like he's getting paid by the hour.
Sound of rescue
Those big windows gave an excellent view & the F27 did not fly as high as the jets of that era.
Thanks
Amazing Video！
Just beautifull ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you! 😊
I love the Fokker F-27/F-28, F-50/F-70 and F-100! The F-27 made Braathens S.A.F.E. of Norway (1946-2005)so much money that they could by buy jets in 1969. The had a total of 8, del from 1958-1966. I would call it the profit maker! Rip BU!
I like that sound
This plane was built in 1980 ZK-PAX
Jo Tyers Yes, it was built for Mississippi Valley Airlines as N334MV.
Belíssima aeronave.👏👏👏🇧🇷
He is a bit in hurry, isn't he?
sound similar to dehavilland dash 7 dash 8 and turbo beaver single otter twin otter saab 340 and beach craft in yyj airport victoria
😍😍😍😍
Je me rappelle encore mes voyages pour l'aller et le retour avec cet avion,en 1985 pour mes vacances !
that's a pretty plane
1968 Indian Airlines had it in its fleet.
All the comments below...quite some interest in the Fokker. Anthony F. would have been pleased?
Solide machine. A la peau dure. Mais son point faible demeure son train d'atterisage avant. J'aime beaucoup le hurlement des turbo-propulseurs.
Don't those RR Dart turboprops sound noisy compared to the PW turboprop engines on the ATR's and the Dash 8's.
Air New Zealand has both of ATR and Dash 8 and in the past the Fokker F27-500 Friendship.
WOW I LIKE FOKKER PLANE
So one told me the pitching sound was in the blades going over some speed !? True ??
Oh superb !!!
Ilove the reg. ZK-PAX. LOL! ;)
verys good video, brasil ok.
i remember ozark flew these into my homes little airport n late 60s early 70s
Sad they're retired
I prefer Fokker Friendship's elegance and overall beauty compared with the awful turboprops of 2021, including the Dash 8, the ATR 72 etc.. What was wrong with the F27 being kept in production?
beautiful plane but have a horrible safety record similar to the one that crashed in the Andes mountains in october 1972 carrying 45 people, including a Uruguayan rugby team
Em Gl however the 1972 fairchild crash was due to wrong calculation by the copilot of the plane lt colonel lagurara and not due to technical fault of the plane as the plane only 2 years old and in a tip top condition.
Weren't these called Fairchild F27's in the 60's & '70's ? I think Ozark Airlines used to use them in the Midwest.
Música para meus ouvidos. Rols roice.
What a bird
