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

    Fokker signed an agreement with Fairchild Hiller to market the F-28 Fellowship in the Americas. Ten were sold to the American company, of which only two were sold.
    It likely ran promotional campaigns to attract potential buyers, including Aloha Airlines. Models of F-28s bearing this company's image exist.
    In 1959, Aloha purchased the Fairchild F-27, and it was expected to acquire the Fellowship as a replacement or complement. However, the company had already purchased the BAC One Eleven 400 in 1966.
