Use your brain man (or woman), movojibe clearly mentioned both the Fokker 50 & an Airbus 380-600. so his/her memory played a little switcheroo on him/her.

Location offensive to who? And why would you think that my signature is offensive?

The other thread has now been closed so be a jolly good fellow and move on. I'm trying to move on but I'm beng pestered by the likes of people like you who are trying to wind me up and turn this thread into the same dead end the other one ended up in.
:rolleyes::banghead:

No he claimed that he'd flown Transatlantic on a Fokker that was identical to a 747.

Brain dead.

Yes, his mind typed Fokker, when he clearly flew on the Airbus. Many people switch a couple of details due to the mists of time.

We are not computers recording every detail in absolutes, but a series of patterns, I am absolutely certain that I have mixed up a few details in my recollection of things passed, in fact you could trawl through my posts here to find them.

In fact, thank you for reminding me why I got out of the UK in the 1st place.

Far as I know, only Lufthansa City flew the 50. It's range was 1110 NM, with a ceiling of 25000 feet, so a journey across the pond would require an extra set of oars.

I do believe that my KLM flight that brought me to the US one way from Manchester used a Fokker (unsure which model) to Schiphol then a 747 to O'Hare.

Agreed. I've flown on an LH Fokker 50 many a time from Frankfurt to Newcastle, London, Amsterdam and Paris. It's a fine short haul vehicle.

And did you find it difficult to distinguish the two airplanes?

Can I just applaud all sides for the self-restraint they’ve demonstrated by not making obvious Fokker jokes. :thumbup:

Thank you. Please explain why?

This is the post you linked to.
