Fokker F28 Fellowship maiden flight 9 May-1967

[Hans O. Sandström]

Hittade denna gamla film på ett flygplan som kom att betyda mycket för svenskt inrikesflyg. Tyvärr dålig kvalitet men ett stycke flyghistoria.
Många svenskar fick sitt luftdop i Fokker F28 Fellowship.
Själv lyckades jag flyga ett antal skolklasser i min hembygd på den korta rutten JKG-GOT-JKG. Tre timmar på Landvetter och sedan tillbaks.
