Welcome aboard


The great success that Fokker achieved with its F27 model encouraged the Dutch manufacturer to go one step further. In this way, in Apr1962 the new project was announced: The F28 Fellowship.
On the occasion of the 57th anniversary of the prototype´s first flight, -May 9, 1967-, we glad to invite you to the launch of this new Blog fokkerfellowship28.blogspot.com, dedicated absolutely to the Fellowship.
We invite all those who are passionate about this small Dutch colossus to share their experiences, photographs, or information in this space. The site is under development, and we hope all readers will like it.
Welcome aboard

T-01 and the royal couple

 

   
On 14Apr85, the Kings of Spain arrived in Buenos Aires: Juan Carlos I and Sofia as part of an official tour. The morning of April 18, 85 was time to visit the city of Rosario. Later, in the afternoon they went to Puerto Iguazú, to visit the imposing natural spectacle offered by the Iguazú Falls. On this trip, the royal couple traveled aboard the Fokker F-28 T-01 msn. 11028. This is just an example of the different VIP flights that the Fokker F-28 Fellowship of the Presidency of the Argentine used to attend, for protocol visits.
