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

Argentine Air Force Day Parade

 


On August 10, 2025, the Argentine Air Force Day parade was held at Morón Military Air Base, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The parade commemorated the 113th anniversary.

Among the aircraft present at the air parade was the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000C TC-53 (cn. 11020).

The aircraft took off from El Palomar Military Air Base, where many fans were awaiting the departure of the Fellowship. Many said it was the highlight of the parade! Well done, F-28!



 

Affectionately nicknamed "Highlander"—in reference to the character in the famous film- Tango Charlie 53 continued its usual operations the following day, flying the El Palomar Air Base (EPA) – Paraná (PRA) – Mendoza (MDZ) – El Palomar Air Base route.

On August 13, 2025, the plane flew from El Palomar Air Base (EPA) to Neuquén (NQN). From there, it departed for Loncopué (LCP) and then returned to NQN, returning to EPA later.

The world's oldest Fokker F-28 never stops!
