History and Use of the Fokker F27 Friendship

The Fokker F27 Friendship is a Dutch passenger aircraft, which had its maiden flight in 1955. It was designed and manufactured by the Fokker Aircraft Company, with serial production starting in 1958. The model gained enormous popularity worldwide and was operated by airlines from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia. The F27 was mainly used for regional and short-haul passenger transport, but it was also adapted for military versions as a transport aircraft and for special missions—used by air forces of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia. The aircraft was operated continuously from the late 1950s until the 21st century, spanning the Cold War and modern aviation era.
