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

Never delivered #12

 

In 1978, Fokker conducted a demonstration tour of the Mk. 4000 version in South America with a model leased from the Swedish company Linjeflyg before delivery. This model was cn. 11130, registered PH-JPV on February 1, 1978. The aircraft visited Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.

On March 6, 1978, the aircraft visited Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro and made several demonstration flights over the famous Ponta Aérea route from Santos Dumont to Sao Paulo. This model was proposed as a replacement for the venerable Lockheed L-188 Electra VARIG, and was also demonstrated to Cruzeiro.
