BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT FOKKER F28 FELLOWSHIP
The Fokker F28 Fellowship is a twin-engine short range jet airliner. Following the F27 Friendship, Fokker decided to embark on developing a new turbojet-powered commuter aircraft that would build upon its experiences with the F27. During April 1962, Fokker announced the formal launch of the F28 Fellowship. On May 9, 1967, the prototype F28-1000 conducted its maiden flight. Fokker developed multiple variants of the F28. During 1987, production of the type was terminated in favour of two newer derivatives, the Fokker 70 and the larger Fokker 100.
The worst accident to Fokker F28 Fellowship happened on July 1, 1994, when Air Mauritanie Flight 625 crashed on landing at Tidjikja Airport, Mauritania. The heavy landing was performed in a sandstorm. Of the 93 people on board, 80 were killed.
