EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of aviation training in the late 1990s, as seen through the cockpit of a Fokker S-11 instructor aircraft, registration number PH-ACG - E-36. The Fokker S-11, a twin-engine turboprop airliner produced by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker, was widely used for pilot training due to its advanced avionics and handling characteristics. In this image, we see the instructor's perspective as he prepares to take off from an airfield, with the runway stretching out before him. The cockpit is filled with a myriad of dials, switches, and levers, all essential for safe and effective flight instruction. The instructor wears a headset, ready to communicate with his student and the control tower, while the student, out of view, would be seated in the right-hand seat, observing and learning. The Fokker S-11 was a versatile and reliable aircraft, capable of carrying up to 100 passengers over long distances. However, in this context, it serves as an essential tool for imparting the skills and knowledge needed to fly larger commercial aircraft. The photograph captures the intensity and focus required for flight training, as well as the unique bond between instructor and student. With the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape, this image is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the thrill of taking to the skies.
