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

In the early 1980s the Bolivian government placed an order for two Fokker F-28 Mk.3000s for Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano. These were the cn planes. 11162 and 11165. However, they were never taken. In Mar 1995 the example cn 11203 was also offered to Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, but it was not purchased either. This was an F-28 Mk.4000 that was eventually acquired by the Argentine government and was registered T-02.

The specimen serial number 11162 flew for the first time on 03Jul1980 with the test registration PH-EXY. It was finally acquired by the Colombian government and was incorporated into the SATENA fleet on February 7, 1985, identified FAC1141. On 11Apr2002 it was transferred to the Colombian Air Force with the identification FAC1041. This F-28 is currently flying!
