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 demonstration tour carried out by the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000 in February and March 1978 also included Bolivia and Uruguay.

In Bolivia, the PH-JPV (c/n 11130) operated in the city of La Paz, where it demonstrated its capability to operate from the high altitude of El Alto Airport. It performed demonstration flights for Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano and Transporte Aéreo Militar, an air transport group of the Bolivian Air Force.

Once the demonstrations in Bolivia and Brazil were completed, the Fokker F-28 Mk.4000 landed in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, where the aircraft was showcased to PLUNA.


 We have chosen to illustrate the F-28 in the livery that PLUNA applied to the Boeing 737-200s it purchased to replace the three Boeing 727-030s it had been operating since 1978.
