These two Fellowships were observed in 2022 parked out of service outside the FAdeA Córdoba, Argentina facilities. These are the F-28 Mk.1000C TC-54 (cn 11018) and TC-55 (cn11024) of the Argentine Air Force.
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
