Never delivered #18

 

On August 10, 1971, the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 PH-ZAV (msn. 11032) carried out a brief demonstration in the United Kingdom as part of its evaluation by British European Airways (BEA). How would the aircraft have been configured and liveried had BEA chosen to add the Fellowship to its fleet?.

Ceremony for the 50th Anniversary of the Fokker F-28 in the Argentine Air Force

    On, November 17, 2025, the Argentine Air Force celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Fokker F-28. The ceremony took place at El Palomar Air Base, home to the Fellowship. TC-53 (serial number 11020) delighted everyone present with a spectacular low-altitude flyby.

    It is worth noting that the Argentine Air Force's first Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C arrived on January 16, 1975, from Amsterdam. That aircraft was TC-51 (serial number 11076).
