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

The extensive tour of the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000, carried out during February and March 1978, covered 12 countries across the American continent and, naturally, included the United States. One of the stops was Washington, where it was evaluated by Allegheny Airlines.

As is well known, Allegheny was renamed US Air (later US Airways) in 1979, and years later, after absorbing Piedmont, it came to operate one of the largest Fokker F-28 fleets in the world.

However, what would have happened if Allegheny had purchased the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000 back in 1978? How would the "Fellowship" have looked in that airline's livery?
