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 1978 American promotional tour of the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000 also included Colombia, which was the first South American country visited by the new Fellowship model. While there, it performed demonstration flights for Avianca and its subsidiaries, SAM (Sociedad Aérea Medellín) and Aerocóndor. At that time, the Colombian government operated a Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 VIP for presidential transport.



 Although the 1978 tour did not yield any immediate orders or purchases from Colombian airlines, Fokker aircraft were indeed acquired in the following decades. SATENA purchased F-28 Mk.3000s in the 1980s, and Avianca, along with its subsidiary SAM, later acquired Fokker 50s and 100s.

What would have happened if these companies had purchased the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000 back in 1978?
