First arrival at Hato for interim duties with the Coast Guard of the Netherlands Antilles & Aruba, after conversion to maritime patrol aircraft. The belly radar can be seen in this picture. It served for about 2,5 years before the leased Dash 8 took over its job.

This Fokker 60 made its first flight on 2 November 1995 with Fokker test registration PH-UTL. The aircraft was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (Royal Netherlands Air Force) on 25 July 1996 and was soon after named 'Marinus van Meel'. The aircraft was withdrawn from use on 22 October 2007 while deployed to Hato (Curaçao). It was moved to Woensdrecht air base (the Netherlands) for storage with Fokker on 23 November 2007. The Fokker was sold to Peru as AE563 and delivered on 23 February 2010.

Being prepared for Air Classic's museum display. Still has the name "Marinus van Meel" on the nose.

in late summer 1979 this Viking arrived in parts from the Netherlands in a pitiful condition, but was soon rebuilt and cleaned up for static display in the local Air Classic Museum. Name "Marinus van Meel" can still be read on the nose.

This aircraft, converted from Vickers 614 Viking 1, is one of three at the play-park attached to the restaurant cafe Avio Resto, marked Autair Freighter. This Viking was later preserved in Winterthur, Switzerland, but has now been scrapped.

To support the struggling Fokker company, the Dutch government ordered the Fokker 60, a stretched F.50, as a tactical transport aircraft for its air force. Only four F.60s were built and the RNLAF would have been much better off with a couple of extra C-130s instead. The Fokkers were disposed of to Peru in 2010.
