In this "History" section we collected stories very much worth reading.
Tom Beaver wrote about his experiences on the Fokker F27 in the Beavertales. In the Fokker Heritage Gallery, Leo de Roo provides background information per Fokker aircraft type.

This time I would like to tell you a little bit about the introduction of the first F27 in the Libyan dessert as a replacement for the DC3's that we were operating for Oasis Oil Cy. When the replacement was first mentioned, I told our chief pilot about the F27, proud as I was that I had worked on the first one's as a mechanic at Fokker in the period between military flying and my job flying in Libya. And as a real Dutchman, I told our pilots that in my opinion, there was no other airplane in existence that could replace the DC3 and do the same if not better in the dessert, then the F27. |
