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

Tango Charlie 53

The Fokker F-28 is still flying in Argentina!

 

Today, January 2, 2025, the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C TC-53 (cn 11020) of the Argentine Air Force took off from El Palomar Air Base and flew to the cities of Córdoba, Salta and Reconquista. It carried out a logistics flight identified with the call sign “FAA-01”.

Our friend Esteban Lerin from the city of Salta, Argentina photographed the F-28 taking off from that airport.

The TC-53 was last seen operating at the Jorge Newbery Airport on November 30, 2023. After that day, the aircraft was stored and received a prolonged inspection until on December 23 and 26, 2024 it performed three test flights.

Today Argentina is the only place in the world where the Fellowship can be seen operating regularly.
