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

Quebecair

 


Quebecair was an airline based in Montreal, Quebec, originally founded as Rimouski Airlines. In 1953, it adopted the name Quebecair following a merger with Gulf Aviation. Throughout its history, the airline operated a variety of aircraft, such as the Beech 18, the Beaver, and of course, the Douglas DC-3. Its first jet aircraft was the BAC 1-11, introduced in 1969. Quebecair operated regular domestic services in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, as well as in the northeastern United States. In late 1986, the airline received a pair of Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 aircraft from Braathens SAFE. At that time, the government of the province of Quebec was a shareholder in the company, and its financial situation was truly precarious. In July 1986, CP Air acquired 35% of what remained of Quebecair, and the following year it became part of Inter-Canadien. The Fellowships remained in the fleet of the new company for only a couple of years before being sold to the French regional airline TAT, through a deal managed by Crédit Lyonnais.
