The NV Koninklijke Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek Fokker was founded in 1919. Among its more recent planes produced are the F.27 Friendship with 768 planes produced (including thoses produced under license by Fairchild in the USA), it was followed by the F.28 Fellowship, which first flew in 1967 ( 241 built). Later came the F.100 (278 built) (see below) and F.70 (47 built). Those were produced until the plant was closed in 1996.

All Fokker F.28 above on this page were photographed in Vancouver August 15th 2001.

The three pictures above show three Canadian Regional color schemes. To see the earliest, you must click on the F.28 seen up front and look at the plane in the background (~250 Kb) or go to the bottom of this page. The logo visible on the C-GTIZ adapts the wild goose image that was progressively painted on the Canadian planes before this company was "swallowed up" by Air Canada. The C-FCRP has the "transitionnal livery" between Canadian Regional and Air Canada (as the 747-400, behind the F.28 tail on the right above, shows the transitionnal livery between Canadian and Air Canada).
