Fokker - Dutch aircraft manufacturer
This time I would like to teach you some details about the Dutch aircraft Manufacturer, Fokker. Unfortunately, Fokker went bankrupt in 1996. I was on the viewing days before the auction and bought some typical Fokker stuff... A scale model of a Fokker 50 and a cup and saucer with of course the Fokker logo. I hope you enjoy my post. Do you have some ideas for a new post? Place a comment!

Fokker was a Dutch aircraft manufacturer named after its founder, Anthony Fokker. They build propeller aircraft (Fokker F-27 and Fokker 50) and jet aircraft (Fokker F-28 and Fokker 70 / 100). Fokker went into bankruptcy in 1996. Nowadays a lot of Fokker aircraft are still flying. The most Fokker aircraft fly in Australia and Africa. In Europe they are very rare.
