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 Neverending Story

 

Contrary to what we reported on March 6, 2025, the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C TC-53 (cn.11020) flew again for LADE (Líneas Aéreas del Estado). Yesterday, March 25, 2025, the aircraft operated flight 5U502, departing from Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires. After stops in Mar del Plata and Bahía Blanca, it arrived in San Carlos de Bariloche with 38 passengers on board (60% occupancy). This is how the Argentine Air Force's noble Fellowship continues to operate the only F-28 passenger service in the world.


 After each service for LADE, the Argentine Air Force's Fokker F-28s perform a short transfer flight from Aeroparque to El Palomar. The Argentine Fellowships are based at El Palomar Air Base.
