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

On April 11, 1973, the President of Romania, Nicolae Ceaușescu, visited Fokker's manufacturing facilities as part of his official tour of the Netherlands.

We illustrate the Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 in the livery of the Romanian airline Tarom, had they purchased it.

At that time, Tarom operated BAC One-Eleven 400 series aircraft, and in 1978 signed an agreement with British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) to mass-produce the BAC One-Eleven.
