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 1994, Aerolíneas Argentinas decommissioned the three Fokker F-28 Mk.1000s it operated. These were registered aircraft LV-LOA (cn 11085), LV-LOC (cn 11083), and LV-LRG (cn 11046).

On April 13, 1994, they made a low-altitude pass over the runway at Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires and were then parked on the industrial apron.

In May 1994, the airline Servicios Aéreos Patagónicos Sociedad de Estado (SAPSE), through an engineering firm, evaluated the three F-28s for a possible acquisition, which ultimately did not materialize. At the time of the evaluation, LV-LOA had 34,660 flight hours, LV-LOC had 35,654 hours and 53,960 flight cycles, while LV-LRG had a total of 42,448 hours and 64,939 flight cycles.

The three aircraft could not be sold and were flown to Ezeiza Airport, where they were scrapped in 1996.
