In 1978, a Fokker F‑28 Mk.4000 embarked on a promotional tour across the United States. This particular aircraft, construction number 11130, was owned by Linjeflyg. Before its delivery to the Swedish airline, it had served as a demonstration aircraft for Fokker, operating under the registration PH‑JPV.
In February of that year, the jet touched down in Minneapolis, where it was presented to the team at North Central Airlines, giving them a firsthand look at its capabilities, design, and operational potential.
This aircraft tour offered an enticing glimpse of what North Central Airlines’ fleet might have looked like had they opted to purchase the Fokker F‑28 Mk.4000, showcasing a combination of modern engineering, compact versatility, and efficient regional performance that the model was known for.
