A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Meet the aircraft
The Fokker 100 developed the F28 with a longer fuselage, Rolls-Royce Tay engines and an updated flight deck. The shorter Fokker 70 followed for smaller passenger loads and shorter routes, first flying in 1993. The two regional jets have separate simulator products and variant specifications.
Aircraft background
Wikipedia contributors · Read more ↗A first command brings an unplanned night in Finland
Kurka remembered his first flight as a newly qualified Fokker captain for an unexpected destination. Bad weather around Stockholm, snow and a disabled thrust reverser complicated the plan, and the crew diverted to Turku. His first command without a supervising instructor therefore included explaining to a full cabin, in the middle of the Finnish night, where they were and what would happen next.

History & design
A final London flight closes a Dutch partnership
KLM’s final Fokker 70 service returned from London on 28 October 2017, echoing the destination of its first Fokker passenger flights in 1920. The aircraft received a water salute at Schiphol, with staff gathering to mark the end of the partnership.

The later F100 reaches a different operating environment
Studstrup’s English career history identifies the Phnom Penh wet-lease assignment as a Fokker 100 operation under Bangkok Airways.

Systems & details
Common cockpit, different airframe
Fokker Services describes the 70 as a shortened development of the 100, with substantial system commonality and a shared pilot type rating. This relationship explains familiar cockpit procedures without making their dimensions or payload limits interchangeable.
An integrated flight deck
The booklet describes dual flight-management computers and an integrated automatic flight-control system. Standard Category IIIA autoland and optional Category IIIB capability are equipment distinctions; an individual simulator implementation must be checked separately.
Pilot accounts
A first command brings an unplanned night in Finland
Kurka remembered his first flight as a newly qualified Fokker captain for an unexpected destination. Bad weather around Stockholm, snow and a disabled thrust reverser complicated the plan, and the crew diverted to Turku. His first command without a supervising instructor therefore included explaining to a full cabin, in the middle of the Finnish night, where they were and what would happen next.
He recalled the aircraft’s balanced, agile handling with affection, while finding recurring technical restrictions less endearing. Years later, his view of a satisfying flying career extended well beyond the model on his licence. Colleagues, schedules and routes mattered greatly.

Read the full account · ÖAMTC auto touring ↗Fokker command becomes a family milestone
As a child, Nonggorr watched his father command an Airbus A310 from the jumpseat. That early view of airline flying helped turn an interest into a career ambition. His father later supported his training in Australia, and Jason built experience with PNG Air before joining Air Niugini as a Fokker 100 first officer.
Qualifying for command on the F100 gave the achievement a wider family meaning. Father and son were now Papua New Guinean captains at the same national airline, and both spoke about the work and discipline behind that moment. Jason hoped that one day they might fly a Boeing 767 together.

Read the full account · The National ↗An ordinary arrival leaves the aircraft stuck in the apron
Studstrup helped run a Fokker operation linking Bangkok with Phnom Penh when the Cambodian airport had very limited equipment. His recollection describes an air-traffic controller working with an aircraft radio powered by a car battery, before a French United Nations contingent brought in mobile radar. Routine airline flying depended on arrangements quite different from those at a major European hub.
One arrival exposed another difficulty: a wheel sank through the apron surface. With no suitable aircraft jacks available, finding a way to free the aircraft took more than seven hours and help from a local forklift. Cement for repairing the damaged surface then had to be brought from Bangkok.
Danish “Cambodia” recollection; his linked English career history identifies the F100. The pages date the assignment differently, to 1992 and 1991 respectively.
