I know you don’t have to be a genius to get your commercial pilot’s license but I think it helps in Bruce’s case because he has many other “hobbies”. Can’t wait for his autobiography.
Certainly an accomplished man !
The man is an accomplished train spotter/nerd, he’s a bit like a spirit animal I suppose… 
Man, this looks like a relaxing and fun afternoon … guy grabs some Mickey D’s with his Paramotor …
I wonder what kind of licence you need for one of these things if any?
That is awesome. Love it…his precision control of that thing as he’s slaloming through the hay bales is amazing. And who doesn’t love a McDonald’s burger???
Not long ago the Fokker 100 aircraft was phased out. Now it’ll only be a month or two more of the Fokker 70 before the Dutch sky is pretty devoid of Fokkers for the first time in a century.
Yeah, Paramotors are the rage these days. Been tempted, but should probably add that money to the Kitfox account.
Not to worry - there’s plenty of daft fokkers in the skies over here

Yeah, the axis (moment?) of thrust is a long way from the lifting surface. But since I’ve got 450 + skydives and a PPL, don’t think that it would be too hard to pickup. It’s probably just a distraction from buying a taildragger though, which is what I really want in order to get the kids into flying.

30 is a good age for a carrier change, right?

Dutch skies devoid of Fokkers.
No more Fokkers around?
Those Fokkers are gone now.
Are you going to miss those Fokkers?
Poor Fokkers…
I could go on all day… 
Anyway… back to your regular schedule.

That’s sweet stuff. We have an outfit similar to MAF here in the Carolinas called JAARS. They got a Kodiak recently and I think they use it over in Papua New Guinea. Neat flying for sure… I’d be more interested in the humanitarian side of it than the Bible stuff, but I guess its a means to an end and all (for the recipients of the aid).
I love me some Fokkers. My next PC Pilot “Challenging Airports” article is going to feature the Fokker 50. Not a great rendition by VirtualCol, but pretty much the only thing available. We still see some Fokkers in use over here in the United States running freight for FedEx feeders, along with the YS11.

Yeah the only real proper Fokker aircraft for a flightsim was the Project Fokker for FS2k2/4 and FSX. Unfortunately that petered out after releasing a wonder F-28 along the 70/100 models.
There this one for XP though: Fokker F27-600 - Civilian Fixed-Wing Heavy Metal 1946 and later - X-Plane.Org Forum
Digital Aviation did a version too at one point that got promised a VC but never ended up with one unfortunately.
It’s a shame really, they are very interesting aircraft and had some innovative features for their time.
