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

Last passenger service of a Fokker F-28

 


Unfortunately, yesterday, March 5, 2025, the last worldwide passenger service on a Fokker F-28 was carried out. LADE flight 5U702 was operated by the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C TC-53 that made the route Aeroparque – Mar del Plata – Bahía Blanca – San Carlos de Bariloche and back.

That was the last flight of an F-28 for LADE (Líneas Aéreas del Estado), it is speculated that the F-28 will continue in service with the Argentine Air Force for some time to come.

The Fokker F-28 has been replaced by the Embraer 145 on flights for LADE.
