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

The German government had ordered three F-28 Mk.5000Cs, a new version based on the Mk.1000 with a cargo door, from Fokker for the Luftwaffe.

The VFW-Fokker 614 had made its first flight on July 14, 1971, it was a German design for small airlines that made short flights. Fokker cooperated with VFW for the development of this aircraft.

The German government to support the VFW-Fokker 614 changed the order of the F-28 Mk.5000C for three VFW-614. One of the F-28s was cn 11106 which was reassigned to Garuda Indonesia, registered PK-GVW. It was then sold to Piedmont, identified as N273N. Transferred to US Air as N453US. It was eventually acquired by Time Air in 1991 and received the registration C-FTAV.
