I think I flew on 1 of these in 96 from either FAT to DFW or LAX to DFW

when we at American still did things the right way!

These had such an amazing looking flight deck compared to a DC-9 or mad dog.

Wish they had kept them around longer

Same these came to Brazil... they were flown on OCEANAIR/AVIANCA

I’m so grateful stuff like this is on RUclips. Thankful to all the people out there who have this old footage, promos, and misc. videos on their collections that they decide to digitize and upload for everyone to see and get nostalgic over😊

God, I miss the Fokker 100s. Cozy and comfy aircraft. One of my earliest memories flying was on a American F-100, returning home from a vacation in San Diego (stopped over in O'Hare) - I remember, in spite of being both only 4 at the time, and damn tired, being carried out of the plane by my Mom, and it snowing as we walked down the airstairs and met up with our neighbor who took us home.

I remember working on this plane when American went head on with Legend Airline out of Love field where due to Wright Amendment the airlines could not fly nonstop to any major airport with more than 50 seats. American converted this plane to 50 seats the whole plane was First Class we served Champane and Mimosa to whole cabin before takeoff, the whole cabin got hot towels, hot nuts, nice steak meal, ice cream sundaes, free liquor and vine, Due to high level of service we had four flight attendants for 50 passengers. With that kind of service Legend went belly up.

When flying was flying and airlines were airlines. So cold and generic now. Miss those silver birds.

I love Fokker aircraft ❤️👍🇧🇩

2:24 DOES ANYONE SELL THOSE BEIGE AA SEATS ANYMORE? I REALLY WANT ONE😬

Is the music supposed to sound like that?!

These gave the DC9 and MD80's a run for their money on Rocket takeoffs alone. they also ignored the rule of No smoking on takeoff.

I flew on the little angel in the sky from DFW to McAllen in 1991-2003.

Great little mainline aircraft. Only ORD based Flight Attendants for American had to be trained on these.

The Fokker Cockpit kinda reminds me to the A300B4 and A310 cockpit

I didn’t know they had a Fokker 100 for a WHILE.

I remember flying on a Fokker 100 was back in 2001. Those were the good days. I sure miss those air crafts.

Compared to the comfort level today onboard coach class of U.S carriers, the F100 wasn't too bad. It served a role in American's fleet that worked for many years.

A fantastic airliner.

AA F-100 (1991-2004)

wait , American Airlines got a fokker 100 ???

They first landed in ALB to clear customs. When AM arrived it had so many writeups that Crandall ordered returned to Holland. After crew rest it was flown back the following day. The first snow storm here it was realized there was no slush correction published either. From a fleet service point of view these planes were a nightmare to work with tiny bellies. Then comes a weak APU which couldn’t cool the cabin properly. Thus it became the ‘dutch oven”! Then properly called the “Barbie jet”.

Always been a big fan of A/A and as a passenger the F100 was just okay, and certainly not worthy of the moniker of 'Luxury Jet". The part of the video that showed a meal being served made me laugh - of all the times I flew on this type there wasn't anything that could even be called a snack served. Oh for the days of the great 727 and MD-80's!

Thanks for sharing. Life long customer of AA, but never went aboard this type of plane. PS: I love the music LOL. What artist is it by?

I can't figure out one thing why America got rid of the Fokker 100 and the netherlands is still flying it?

harvesting revenue the Netherlands in this design really nice

Historic

tiny cramped plane with very limited overhead storage rack, noisy engines and extremely bumpy in turbulence. Good riddance F100!

When did AA stop flying them?

Fucks up with the music

Luxury Jet????

When you look back on this now, it is sort of coming full circle, as some of American's predecessors flew Fokker airplanes during the 1920s and 1930s, while US Airways/America West also flew the F100 and F70.

this was one of the first planes I flew on in AA's fleet back in the 90's

Great photos. Looks like you had a blast. I went ice diving several days ago. It is awesome! Take care, Bluefin
