Second Best "52 Weeks Project"
Since I have been joining the 52 Weeks Project on Flickr it has happened several times that I had to chose between two or more self portraits that week. A difficult choice. The solution is to create a set of all good alternatives. Life is full of choices and sometimes a week has too much opportunities. This is one of those alternatives, the second best. And sometimes just as good.
Aviodome was on our list to visit together for quite a time. This afternoon we initially had other plans but Aviodome was closer by. So we went there...
Location: Luchtvaartmuseum Aviodrome, Pelikaanweg 50, 8218 PG Lelystad (NL)
Coordinates: 52°27'29.1"N 5°31'51.1"E (Google Maps)
Reason: Initially our plan was to visit De Efteling this afternoon, but Mehdi came home later than expected so we took Aviodome off the bucket list this afternoon.
Museum Aviodome: From 1971 to 2003, the Aviodome aviation museum was the Dutch museum for aviation and space travel, housed at Schiphol. In 2003, the museum therefore moved to Lelystad Airport, where the name was changed to Aviodrome.
Fokker 100 PH-OFA: This 36-year old aircraft is on display since 2010 here at Aviodrome. This Fokker 100 started its flying carreer at Inter Canadian in 1989, has flown as well for Air UK and KLM UK and since 2003 it was used by KLM Cityhopper. Made its last flight at 13/11/2009 and was parked here where we see it today at 23/10/2010.
Official "52-Weeks" of this week: 14/52 Square Saint-Lambert
Guest Star: More than guest star; Mehdi
Weather: Almost totally clear and blue skies, 13° C
To Listen ♫: Come Fly With Me - Frank Sinatra (1957) (Youtube)
Selfie Attempts: 3
Self-portrait technics: My camera balanced haphazardly on my shoulder bag placed on a trash bin, timer set to 10 seconds.
18 December 2004, Edinburgh Airport
Delveired new to Inter-Canadien in April, 1989 as C-FICY and later to Air UK and KLM as G-UKFA and PH-OFA. It was retired from KLM Cityhopper at the end of 2009 and flown to Lelystad the following Summer. its nice to see another "Canadian" Fokker saved from the scrappers torch
I first saw this Fokker 100 at Lyon (LYS) in April 2004 when it was flying for KLM cityhopper (KLC). Now part of the Aviodrome collection, it was originally delivered to Inter-Canadian in 1989 as C-FICY; c/n 11246

After 31 years of flying I caught this Fokker 100 in December 2009 at Amsterdam Schiphol airport.

In June 2010 she was ferried to the Aviodrome Museum in Lelystad. Today 2020 she is there to be preserved, standing outside at the platform.
