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

Aero Continente / Nuevo Continente

    Aero Continente was full service passenger and cargo airline and began operations in Jul93. It has become Peru's largest airline after demise of AeroPeru in 1999. Airline started as domestic carrier, but soon after International flights to neighbouring countries and Miami were inaugurated. In 1999 Aero Continente established its subsidiary in Chile. Aero Continente Chile was shut down by Chile Government in 2002 because of suspected drug trafficking. In June 2004 US authorities banned airline from entering USA and airline and prohibited USA companies and citizens to deal with the company also because of alleged drug trafficking. This effectively grounded the airline since its equipment and insurer were dependent on American ownership. Airline attempted to restart as Nuevo Continente owned by its employees, but this effort also failed by October. Throughout its history, it operated three F-28s. One of which, after the capitulation of the airline, was sent to a museum in Norway.
